Sažetak
The work is analysing the relations of different viewpoints regarding the ideas of the progress and different political concepts. The research has been made on the random representative sample (N=547) of student population of the Zagreb and Rijeka Universities. Adequate instruments had been construed consisting of the Likert type scales, with 30 items for measuring the idea of the progress, i.e. 47 items measuring the political concepts.
In order to be testing the hypothesis on political definition of different views on the idea of the progress, both spaces had the latent orthoblique dimensions extracted, under the component model, with the PB criterion for retaining the significant dimensions. The standard bi-orthogonal canonical analysis has been performed between the obtained dimensions.
The results are pointing to the existence of three concepts of progress: 1) value and moral denial of progress, 2) non-critical technicism and 3) humanistic and technical optimism regarding the progress. The following political concepts have been obtained: 1) national purism, 2) political liberalism, 3) situational etatism and 4) religious orientation.
The analysis of canonical relations has discovered the existence of two inter-independent relations. The first canonical relation is suggesting the existence of the connection between the political more "right" concepts and non-critical technicism, while the second one is connecting the political liberalism and humanistic and technical optimism regarding the progress. Both relations are bringing to light the technicist option as the potential basis for the establishing of the political dialogue between the politically in-commensurable concepts, all to the detriment of the man's environment.
