Bosanska politička filozofija - Između fantazija i realnosti
BOSNIAN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY - BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY

Summary/Abstract: Every political theory arises in and from a social crisis. Bosnia’s social crisis has lasted for centuries, but has not given rise to an identifiable political theory. Bosnia, however, is the subject of various political theories. In the perceptions shaped within these theories, Bosnia is not viable as a political society, and so is regarded as a historical necessity, a transition stage, and an unsolved ‘national question’ for its neighbours. Despite the huge forces invested in such images of Bosnia and beside the projects to destroy it, the sense of Bosnia’s people, society and politics as a pluralist imperative and desire has endured till the present day. Were the crisis of Bosnia to be viewed in a cognitively open light – that is, analysed according to sophisticated political theories – it would be possible, the author believes, to understand the whole Bosnian question differently than in all prevailing political frameworks. Thus the concept of Bosnia, where nation-based ideologies strive to deny all content beyond that of Serbian and Croatian region, of no-man’s-land between Serbia and Croatia, might serve to reveal and articulate a fruitful political philosophy perfectly suited to the highest aspirations of humankind today.
