Abstract

This paper researches the representation of philosophy subjects and topics in Karlovci and Novi Sad Grammar Schools in the period between the First and Second World Wars. After a thorough analysis of the “Reports” and other available primary and secondary sources about the activity of Grammar Schools, the author concluded the following: there were certain changes in the names of philosophical subjects (Philosophical Propaedeutic (Logic, Psychology, Fundamentals of Psychology), Fundamentals of Philosophy, Philosophy), the scope of study (sometimes four classes a week, two classes in each of the final two grades of the Grammar School, while sometimes only two classes per week in the eighth grade), the content of lectures (Logic and Psychology together, just Logic, just Psychology), the textbooks used in the classroom (Logika za srednja učilišta, Psihologija za srednja učilišta(Đ. Arnold), Logika(Đ. Arnold), Psihologija za srednje i stručne škole(B. Lorenc), Psihologija(B. Lorenc), Osnovi psihologije(B. Lorenc), Psihologija za srednje škole(B. Lorenc), Logika, Za učenike učiteljskih i drugih srednjih škola(B. D. Marković), Logika(B. Marković), Psihologija(B. Marković), Osnovi psihologije: za srednje i stručne škole(B. Petronijević), Logika za školsku i privatnu upotrebu(S. Ristić), Logika(Sv. Ristić), and teachers (Dušan Spernjak, Panajot Miodragović, Jovan Marčetić, Simeun Grozdanić, Vladimir Vujić, Milivoj Ivančević, Milan A. Jovanović, Petronije Slankamenac, Svetislav J. Marić, Stjepan Vuković, Kosta Nikolić, Marko Jakovljević, Svetislav Banica, Petar Zavrtanik, Milan Jakovljević, Petar A. Jakaša, Pavle M. Tvrtković, Krešimir T. Georgijević, Mladen M. Leskovac, Ivan B. Medić, Miroslav L. Jerkov), however these, in the years that followed until the beginning of World War II, rarely coincided with changes in the curricula, as well as with the adopted laws, regulations and decrees. Moreover, the research showed that the teaching of philosophy in Karlovci and Novi Sad Grammar Schools had a specific evolution which was significantly independent of implemented changes.
