Abstract
Kvirin Vasilj (1917 – 2006), an authentic thinker of the 20th century, in his philosophical
deliberation, he touches on various aspects of human existence, including those that are today
identified as bioethical challenges. Thus, bioethics is present in his deliberations, although
the term bioethics as such is not found in any of his six hundred works, and they often
relate to the meaning, quality, the beginning and the end of human life. Between these two
endpoints of an individual’s existence, Vasilj places a considerable emphasis on the very
practical dimensions of duration, nature protection, quality of life and more. It should also
be noted that Vasilj often uses these themes as a basis on which to present or explain some
anthropological, even ontological, issues.
