Abstract

Cjelokupno djelo Pavla Vuk-Pavlovića ukazuje na jedan svjetonazor koji se s pravom može smatrati filosofijom kulture. Kultura je smisaoni i vrijednosni sustav koji teži ostvarivanju ljudskog. Kulturni proces se očituje u labilnosti i može se predstaviti modelom dvostrukog klatna, njihala događanja. Na osnovu svojih temeljnih spoznajnoteorijskih postavki – konzekventno ustanovljenog pluraliteta svjetova i njihove međusobne tolerancije – Vuk-Pavlović objašnjava povijesna gibanja, ali i povijest filosofije.Istim postupkom on sagledava i onu situaciju koja se nazvala postmodernom: paradoksalno djelovanje fragmentacije i globalizacije – traženje kulturne cjelovitosti bez suštinskog smisaonog središta.The entire work of Pavao Vuk-Pavlović indicates a point of view that can rightfully be considered as philosophy of culture. Culture is a system of meaning and values that aspires to actualizing the essentially human. The cultural process manifests itself in instability and can be represented by a model of a twofold pendulum of events. Based on his fundamental epistemological stances, and consequently established plurality of worlds and their mutual tolerance, Vuk-Pavlović provides an account of historical movements, and of a history of philosophy.In the same way, he also takes into account the situation that was known as postmodern: paradoxical action of fragmentation and globalization – the search for cultural totality without an essential center of meaning
