THE RESPONSIBILITV, PROFESSIONALISM, AND MORALITY IN CROATIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY

Nikša Stančić ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In his first review of Korunić's positions published in an earlier issue of the Journal, the author tried to show how Korunić fails to base his assessment of the early Croat nationalism of the 19th century on historical sources and how he changes his appraisal of the ideology of yugoslavism and the ideas of federalism and confederalism in political programs of the Croatian Revival Movement (so-called Illyrian Movement) and the National Party. The author thinks that Korunić's methodology reflects a new not yet well established trend in historiography of basing historical evaluations on slightly modified sources. Thus, in stead of discussing the complex problems of Croatian history, Korunić and other representatives of this new trend force the issue of establishing the exact factography and by singling out of certain authors create an unhealthy atmosphere in Croatian historiography.
Korunić renounced his previously held assessment of the presence of yugoslav idea in the Croatian history of the 19th century, which creates an atmosphere where it is not easy to begin a discussion about historiography in former Yugoslavia.
