Sažetak
Vuk-Pavlović’s philosophy of history is closely connected with his conception of culture as a dynamical process in which historical epochs alternate depending on the strength of conflicting worldviews. By taking in consideration examples of the conflicted worldviews (nominalism vs realism, individualism vs collectivism, freedom vs equality), we will try to reach a closer understanding of historical processes as understood by Vuk-Pavlović. The paper also discusses the role that Vuk-Pavlović attributes to the history in the shaping of the social life. Although it cannot be said that Vuk-Pavlović presented all details of his philosophy of history, the paper shows that his assumptions about the nature of historical processes and man’s relationship to history provide a basis for a deeper understanding of dynamics within contemporary political communities.
