Summary
Danilo Pejović: System and existence
Mind and non-mind in contemporary philosophy. From the cover: The central theme of this book by Pejović is not only an academic subject of scholarly discussion, but an expression of the living events of the present day with all its wanderings and detours as a sign of the conflict between opposing worldviews. On the ruins of Hegel's system grow the harshest criticisms of that system, destructive but also revolutionary tendencies, tendencies that lead to the upheaval of the world. The philosophies of existence and Marxism have a common origin here as a rebellion against absolute idealism, that consequent essentialism and thus the last form of Platonism. History becomes the center of the battle, and the essence of man is understood as a temporal structure that is constituted historically, therefore it is not eternal and only mental, but in constant development from the mind to the mind. But the common origin of the philosophy of existence and Marxism is at the same time their intersection where they diverge and develop as two opposite forms of historicism. (F4)
