Origins and guidelines of philosophy of Mihailo Đurić: A late humanist in the era of post-humanism

Abstract

This article sheds some light on a leading line of thought of Serbian philosopher Mihailo Đurić (1925-2011), recognized by a specific reception of humanism - as a keyword both for his theoretical position and overall world view. Đurić, following the lead of the so-called Third Humanism, but also the main flow of the entire humanistic heritage, shows the depth of the crisis of modern humanity, but also the necessity of its consolidation by returning to the safe ground of ancient ideals of humanity, which are to reorient us. For Đurić, philosophy is the origin of the Greek-European culture and spiritual strength that should strongly contribute to the renewal of contemporary culture, which is going down a dangerous blind alley.

U ovom članku osvjetljavamo vodeću liniju misli srpskog filosofa Mihaila Đurića, koju prepoznajemo u osobenoj recepciji humanizma - kao ključne riječi i za njegovu teorijsku poziciju i ukupni svjetonazor. Đurić, na tragu tzv. Trećeg humanizma, ali i glavnih tokova cjelokupnog humanističkog nasljeđa, pokazuje dubinu krize savremenog čovječanstva, ali i neophodnost njegovog konsolidovanja vraćanjem na pouzdano tlo antičkih uzora humaniteta, koji treba da nas iznova orijentišu. Za Đurića je filosofija ishodište grčko-evropske kulture i duhovna snaga koja treba odlučno da doprinese obnovi savremene kulture, koja se nalazi na opasnoj stranputici.
