Abstract
This is the first attempt at presenting Vladimir Filipović's life and work, in its three, distinct periods (before, during and after World War II) as a whole, .i.e. from the point of view of his phisolophy's evolution. In the first part, the genesis is reconstructed of his philosophy of value from the 1930s, influenced by F. Brentano, M. Scheler and N. Hartmann. In the second part, Filipović's extension of axiology to the philosophy of culture in the war years is presented, when he was under the influence of the spiritual, scholarly school and method of E. Spranger. In the third part, aside from complications in finding his way in the entirely new post-war period (his papers were rejected .and not published in the post-war years), initiative is shown for publishing works from German classical Idealism as one of the sources of Marxism. By referring back to this source, Filipović attempted to free the generation of young Marxists who were coming forward in the 1950s of a dogmatic metaphysical-materalistic interpretation of Marxism. Filipović's publications and libertarian inspired teachings are pre-requisite to the creation of the new-Marxiot Zagreb group that gathered around the magazine Praxis (founded in 1964). His initiative for systematic research into the history of: Croatian philosophy, the foundling of the journal Prilozi za istraživanje hrvatske filozofske baštine (Contributions for Research inito the Croatian Philosophilcal Heritage) as well as publication of the principal works of Croatian philosophy (F. Petrić, Franciscus Patritius, R. Bošković) have been cited as the most well known, and according to some, the »most valuable and lasting« element of Filipović's work as a whole.
