Abstract
This article explores the presence of philosophy in Matica Hrvatska since its establishment in 1842 until 1999. The importance of researching heritage is explained, as well as the importance of researching philosophical heritage of Matica hrvatska as the oldest Croatian cultural institution; therefore, the cultural work in Matica through history is briefly presented. The article also briefly describes the work of three presidents of Matica that were also philosophers.
In the 1850s Matica hrvatska published the first papers on philosophical topics in the journal Neven, Šenoa’s Poetics in 1876, and Plato’s dialogue Phedrus in Croatian in 1894. The most influential editions of Matica in 20th century include Bazala’s Povjest filozofije (1906–1912), the first history of philosophy in Croatian, and Filipović’s
two projects after the World War II: Filozofska hrestomatija and Filozofijski rječnik.
Croatian philosophy in Matica hrvatska, that is, philosophers that published their books and articles in Matica, and the philosophical topics that Croatian philosophers explored, holds a special place in the article, as well as the publishing of foreign philosophical works in Matica.
At the end of the article a bibliography of editions by Matica hrvatska with philosophical features during that period of time is presented. It includes all the books of Matica, as well as the articles from the journals and papers Neven, Vienac, Glas Matice hrvatske, Hrvatsko kolo, Hrvatska revija, Kolo, Kritika, Hrvatski tjednik, Hrvatski znanstveni zbornik, and Vijenac.
