KOROMAN’S WORLD OR TWO HALVES

Jela Sabljić Vujica ; Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Mostar

Abstract

Koroman’s collection of short essays World or the two halves has a distinctive
place in the author’s creative opus, principally because of the
impossibility of an unambiguous determination. This impossibility will
be presented as the basis of Koroman’s discourse organization. With the
economy of the phrase and the illustration of the theses, it is related
to Bacon’s essay, but, at the same time, it betrays it with the consistent
aberration from the presupposed ethical solution. With the unsystematic
interpretation of the textual conventional ways of development and
particularly with the multiple perspectives, it is close to modern experience
which is most clearly represented in fragments and aphorisms,
but at the same time, it is alienated from it by insisting on the operative
justification of the rational act. Understanding the world as a balance
between extremes and with the juxtaposition of oppositional terms, it
is close to Eastern philosophy and religion, but at the same time, it is
alienated from them by establishing an active relationship between the
subject and the world.
