Sažetak
Starting by asking the question, how the Vukovar tragedy could have happened in Europe at the threshold of 21st century, the article examines the spiritual climate of the West, marked by the rejection of the spirit of tragedy, on the Hegelian matrix characterized by denial of the realities. Complete post-Hegelian philosophy can be observed as a captive of his approach to the final as the negative that has to be overcome, which in one part of these flows shows a denial of reality as such, especially in the postmodern interpretativism. Technical and scientific civilization is seen as the final stage of de-tragedization of the West.
In the second part of the article specific historical events related to Vukovar tragedy are in an interdisciplinary way linked to the spiritual climate of the West, because both are characterized by denial of tragic realities in the context of comforter-like nihilism. Vukovar is in the ways and methods shown as a paradigm of de-tragedization and re-narativising, which were aiming to distort what actually occurred, thus becoming a model for all other war tragedies in the former Yugoslavia.
In conclusion, it calls for a renewal of the spirit of tragedy and for the affirmation of reality, being the best way to prevent similar events to happen again.
