Abstract

This article was written to mark the seventieth year of life of Ivan Macan, S.J., the esteemed Professor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus in Zagreb and the Faculty's first dean, whose merits include his continual contributions to the Journal Obnovljeni život since the first year of its renewed publication (1971). The author wishes to familiarize the readers with the jubilarian's basic biographical data, to portray his work as professor and pedagogue, to bring to the fore his philosophical creativeness, among which his reflections on Wittgenstein take a prominent place, as well as his excellently worded textbooks on certain philosophical disciplines and articles on theoretical and practical philosophy, which include also his adhortative writings. Finally, Ivan Macan's entire bibliography is presented.
