Representation of philosophical problems in Niš review Gradina: Periods 1900-1901 and 1966-1980

Abstract

In this paper, which will be conceived in two units, we try to depict the form and content of those texts which could be marked as philosophical in intention. As we will see, that intention, in the first period of publishing (1900-1901), was determined by a strong influence of German and French Enlightenment. This influence was only natural, given the need for education for the newly-liberated population of Niš. The second period (1966-1980) can be discribed as having a more partial interpretation of philosophical problems. At the end of the account, the article is focused on the investigation of cultural and social reasons which caused such a tendency. In this sense, the founding and development of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš was the main reason behind the progress in philosophical publishing.
