Abstract
In this article I discuss Skender Fabković’s book Something About Pride and Its Relatives from 1892. Fabković’s main intention in this book is practical: he wants to stress the importance of pride for individual and collective development. Nevertheless, his discussion also contains several interesting theoretical insights into the origins and structure of pride: the understanding of pride as, essentially, the person’s relation to her self, the insistence on its social origin, and treating it as a positive value. The source of his insights, in the broadest terms, can be found in philosophy of David Hume. Therefore, this book can be considered as a contribution to the Croatian philosophy of the 19th century.
