Abstract
This article investigates the aesthetical views of Krunoslav Krstić from five different aspects examining:
(1) considerations of the general aesthetics in Krstić’s encyclopaedic entry »Estetika« (1965) for the Enciklopedija likovnih umjetnosti (Encyclopaedia of Arts);
(2) teachings and problems of the outstanding aestheticians, such as Bergson and Croce also in entries for the Encyclopaedia of Arts;
(3) Krstić’s own aesthetical views scattered in various articles published from 1933 to 1945;
(4) his attitudes towards the history of Croatian aesthetics, notably towards the prominent Croatian aesthetician Frane Petrić;
(5) Krstić’s ‘pedagogical’ approach in the debate after the author’s first public lecture at the Zagreb Section of the Croatian Philosophical Society in 1961 – therefore, from the perspective of autobiographical testimony.
The breadth and scope of Krstić’s contributions to aesthetics in unfavourable life circumstances warrant that aesthetics, too, ought to be considered a distinct field of Krstić’s research interest.
