Summary/Abstract: Kajica Milanov (1905–1986) taught philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy (University of Belgrade) and the Department of Philosophy in Hobart, Australia (University of Tasmania – UTAS). He was educated in Vienna, Belgrade and Berlin. Before World War II Milanov had authored several books and special publications (Die Gesetzesbildung, das Verstehen und die anschauliche Abstraktion im geschichtlichen Erkennen, his Ph.D. thesis, 1933; Основи проблеми теорије сазнања 1937, Значај филозофије за културу 1940 (Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge, 1937, The Importance of Philosophy in Culture, 1940), along with research papers and reviews in the most prestigious journals (Srpski književni glasnik, Letopis Matice srpske, Vardarski zbornik, Kant-Studien and Philosophia). He translated into German a book written by his professor in Berlin, Arthur Liebert, The Philosophy of Teaching: General Didactics [Liebert 1935]. Milanov was one of the founders of the Serbian Philosophical Society in 1938. Milanov’s writings on the theory of knowledge and translations of Kant’s works were destroyed during the Second World War. After the war he lived, worked and published his work abroad, namely, Titovština u Jugoslaviji (Titoistic Practice in Yugoslavia), with a foreword by Slobodan Jovanović, was released in 1952, and Обрачун: начела и разлози (Final Account: Principles and Reasons), in 1969. He took part in building the Association of Serbian Authors in Exile (at the initiative of Slobodan Jovanović), and worked with Serbian magazines that had brought together prominent prewar intellectuals (Slobodan Jovanović’s Порука, Тамо далеко, Српска мисао, Слога etc.). He left a study in English in manuscript form (Regulatorics) [Božičković and Pavković 1987: 154].
