Abstract
In this article the author wants to present philosopher Kvirin Vasilj,
pointing out his most important answers to basic cognitive, anthropological,
ethical, ontological and questions of natural theology. That is a very
peculiar and productive thinker graced by sagacious pondering and in
many cases his own original terminology. His philosophy proceeds from
a human and returns to him, so it can be said that it is marked anthropologically.
A human is the biggest mystery for Vasilj, but it is also the
most wonderful God’s creature to whom the gate of eternity is opened. He
transcends a simple matter and necessary nature laws by his spiritual
component. He is able to perceive things even beyond the limits of pure
empirics and make good, scientifically based statements about the absolute
creature. With his mind he is capable to understand the universal
moral law which has transcendent and objective nature. In his aspiration
for the biggest good he notices that harmonizing of one’s own will with
God’s will is the only right way for overcoming the life pessimism which
leads to complete nihilism.
