BRANKO LAZAREVIĆ’S “BURSTS OF LIGHT” INSPIRED BY MARTIN HEIDEGGER

Summary/Abstract: A literary critic and aesthetician of wide spiritual horizons, Branko Lazarević was also receptive to trends in contemporary philosophy, because of which he mentioned Martin Heidegger on several occasions, most frequently along with Edmund Husserl. In addition to existentialism, this also pointed to a phenomenological perspective within which he viewed Heidegger. Lazarević understood his Being and Time as one sole question. Thus he intuitively raised the subject of being and its meaning that lightens entire Heidegger’s thinking. The same intuition led Lazarević to notice a connection between Heidegger and Zhuang Zhou.
