Intelektualni prkos Milana Kangrge
Intellectual Spitefulness of Milan Kangrga

Summary/Abstract: The fate of public activities of Milan Kangrga's, Department of Ethics professor on Philosophical Faculty in University of Zagreb, the one of surviving co-editors of Praxis and cofounders of Summer School in Korčula, leftist intellectual – is the topic of this work. The author strives to demonstrate that Kangrga was and he still is true to himself as a critic of every type of dogmatism, whether it be Stalinist or nationalist, as well as of all forms of human freedom and free thinking negations. From that, derives his permanent life's battle against all powerholders and ideologists, both of Stalinism and self-mangement socialism, as well as against national leaders and national ideologists. His convictions that human is a Being of Freedom, to whom freedom is not given but is a task to be achieved; that truth and freedom are inseparable; that there is no socialism without highly developed citizen society; that nationalist's phrases of violence and robbery can not be foundation for democratic state – were stubbornly defended by Kangrga on public scene of former Yugoslavia and contemporary Croatia. His philosophical, moral and intellectual consistency awaits for some better and »normal« times to be adequately valorized.
