Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the programmatic views of Zaharija Orfelin in the context of considering various, if not all, problematic issues he engaged with. These issues encompass moral philosophy, the relationship to tradition, the development of linguistic norms and the use of scripts, the development of encyclopedic writing, the construction of national consciousness, the influence of Christian tradition and Enlightenment rationalism, political questions of global governance within the national community, the status of art, especially literature, and the approach to changes in social relations in society. Orfelin’s program is oriented towards community action and problem-solving in the present to achieve change. It is characterized by pragmatism, a wide range of issues he addressed, and individualism in finding solutions.
