Sažetak
In this paper, we try to provide a basis for a structured study of the philosophy of the Croatian philosopher Milan Polić (1946-2015). This paper should be viewed from two angles, structural and conceptual. Regarding the first, the paper tries to biographically, factually and conceptually describe the first period in the work of Milan Polić, that is in the period from the beginning of work in education in 1974 (high school education) to the employment at an academic institution. Conceptually, this period was significantly marked by cooperation, through the publication of papers and through editorial work, with the journal »Žena« [Women]. This also influenced the choice of topics, so in that part of his life Polić significantly dealt with the problems of the social status of women and the role of women in education. In this paper, we present analysis of texts (eighteen in total) from that period, emphasizing the basic structure of his thinking. Furthermore, we bring basic bio-bibliographic data on Polić’s life, as well as basic data on the journal »Žena«. Ultimately, we try to break through into the background of the central question of this paper, and that is, what is Polić’s concrete contribution to the reflection on the problem of the role of women in education, especially from the point of view of the philosophy of education as a discipline? In working in a number of places, directly and indirectly, we bring an affirmative answer to this question, namely as the presentation of current social topics in the context of philosophical thinking, engagement for particular social reality and the effort for clarity of expressions of thinking.
