Sažetak

Activity of Franjo Marković is to a great extent related to the University of Zagreb. Marković was the first dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, where he was also a lecturer from 1874 to 1914. He held the position of rector of the University of Zagreb, too. He taught Ethics, Aesthetics, Psychology, History of Philosophy, Pedagogy, and Logic. As rector, he very much cared not only about the education of young students, but also about the teachers and financial situation of the University. In two inauguration speeches Marković expressed his attitudes and ideas regarding the tasks that should be assigned to the university. In the speech “Towards Logic”, held on the occasion of the opening of University on 18 October 1874, he emphasized the role of philosophy in forming of the homeland. Since Marković was of the opinion that philosophy is one of the first sciences which should be taught at the University, it is evident that the role of the University in creation of the national state is unavoidable. In his inauguration rectorial speech “Croatian Philosophy Writers in the Velebit Region from the 15th to the 18th Century”, held on 19 October 1881, Marković emphasized “that only the nation that acquired the homeland of thoughts also acquired its true homeland”. This paper will provide an outline of Marković’s contribution to the Croatian University and present the tasks that were assigned to university in the context of creating a modern Croatian state.
