Actuality of Vuk-Pavlović's Philosophy of History

Radomir Videnović ; Faculty of Philosophy, University of Nis, Serbia

Abstract

The entire work of Pavao Vuk-Pavlović indicates a point of view that can rightfully be considered as philosophy of culture. Culture is a system of meaning and values that aspires to actualizing the essentially human. The cultural process manifests itself in instability and can be represented by a model of a twofold pendulum of events. Based on his fundamental epistemological stances, and consequently established plurality of worlds and their mutual tolerance, Vuk-Pavlović provides an account of historical movements, and of a history of philosophy.
In the same way, he also takes into account the situation that was known as postmodern: paradoxical (?) action of fragmentation and globalization – the search for cultural totality without an essential center of meaning.
