What is a Fact?
Bojan Marotti
Sažetak
The Nastavni vjesnik (Teachers News) published in 1941 the two sequels of a smallish treatise entitled The Problem of First Data in Science by the Croatian philosopher, linguist, and lexicographer Kruno Krstić. Several of the issues under discussion in the treatise involve various philosophical disciplines: logic and epistemology, philosophy of science and philosophy of language. The paper first stresses the im portance of the discussed problem, and then analyzes the various ways in which Krstić deals with the problem. In particular, the author discusses Krstić's analysis of certain notions which are often, especially at the level of the so-called »naive« awareness, considered to be self-evident (as, for instance, the notions of sense, experience, objectivity, abstraction, and the very notion of fact). The author also stresses Krstić's interesting view of particular doctrines in the history of philosophy (rationalism, empirism, sensualism). Finally, the author points at the novelty Krstić introduced in the then Croatian philosophy, evident in the mentioned treatise, namely the fact that he used to approach philosophical issues viewed through the prism of language, placing the analysis of meaning into the center of his philosophy.
