LIK LUCIJE STIPANČIĆ U SVJETLU PROBLEMATIKE POBAČAJA (Roman Posljednji Stipančići Vjenceslava Novaka)
THE FIGURE OF LUCIJA STIPANČIĆ IN THE LIGHT OF HER ABORTION PROBLEMS (POSLJEDNJI STIPANČIĆI THE NOVEL BY VJENCESLAV NOVAK)

Summary/Abstract: By starting with the abortion as an act which provokes a number ol' questions about allowability or morality, this essay explores the reasons and consequences of Lucija Stipančić's case (Posljednji Stipančići), the novel by Vjenceslav Novak) by going from a different point of view on the abortion. Lucija develops her own conception of the world and of her common sense. which belongs to the epistemological category of the subjective knowledge. Her ethics are the ethics of responsability. Meaning, both the abortion and conception of Lucija's child were not the consequence of the act of love between the two equal persons, but the consequence of a non-creative subordination. This case is therefore looked upon from the aspect of the intrinsic life values of mother and child and their potentiality as the individuals. The abortion is the problem ofconcrete subject, concrete circumstances and it can't be contemplated or solved by common principles. Instead, the context of such a moral option needs to be understood.
