Sažetak
Heda Festini is nowadays known among Croatian philosophers as the first Croatian analytically oriented woman philosopher who combined her interest in Wittgenstein and Wittgensteinian themes and other topics in analytic philosophy with the research of Croatian philosophical heritage, in which she often dealt with issues related to Wittgensteinian themes. However, in the 1950s and 1960s at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb, Festina was not educated in the analytic tradition, nor did the beginning of her philosophical career suggest that she might go in that direction. Where did Festini’s philosophical orientation come from? Although she deals with the presentation of analytic philosophy in Croatia in several of her later papers, she never answered these questions completely or in detail. In this paper, I propose a possible answer based on the documents I had access to. I conclude that contrary to the impression based on the consideration of her entire opus, there is a consistent course of development of her interests from the 1960s onwards devoid of sudden turns and that her interest in Wittgenstein and analytic philosophy arose naturally from her early interest in Abbagnano’s positive existentialism.
