Summary/Abstract: Using Quentin Skiner’s and John Pocock’s methodological guidelines, the author argues that the topic of the text by Pavao Ritter Vitezović, Oživljena Hrvatska /The Revived Croatia/ is – identity. The text establishes ethnic identity, and at the same time provides the “tools” for the future “constructors of the nation” in their creation of the national identity. Because of this, the author suggests that Pavao Ritter Vitezović, due to the subject he covered – identity – should be considered as part of the Croatian political science tradition.
