Pomirenje nauke i života. Filozofska propedeutika i međuratni prosvetni program iz rukopisne zaostavštine Svetislava Banice
Reconciliation of Science and Life. Philosophical Propedeutics and Interbellum Educational Program Banica’s Unpublished Manuscripts

Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates the writings of Svetislav Banica, and based on them, reflects the scholarly projects which were devoted to the promotion of educational policies in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. With insight into their complexity, we see that the Interbellum work on the enhancement of the pedagogical and educational status of schooling of philosophical propedeutics in grammar school terms had a far greater reach and interest when compared to the first decades of the 21st century. On one hand, it related to the need to investigate the moral and psychological specificities of the youth, while on the other dealt with the systematic strengthening of the institutionalized infrastructure of the entirety of the cultural development. Unlike the modern faintheartedness, the Interbellum professors of philosophy perceived the schooling as one of the motors of future development, which will ensure a far more significant place for the Slavic peoples on the cultural map of Europe. With that in mind, the author concludes that the art of education for a future society, of which they spoke so emotionally and fondly, remains today the crucial challenge for every philosophy teacher.
