Summary
Vladimir Dvorniković: Characterology of Yugoslavs
Humanity: a collection of cultural and political history, book 2.
FIRST EDITION!
In the very rich and significant work of Vladimir Dvorniković, there are particularly relevant considerations dedicated to ethnopsychology, the study of mentality and the definition of national character. The central place in that opus belongs to his most significant work "Characteristics of Yugoslavs", which, after being published in 1939 and 1990, saw its third edition. The re-reading of this work is manifested today primarily in the need for its scientific revaluation. Taking into account ethnogenetic, psychological, social and cultural factors, Dvorniković tries to outline the unique national, cultural and spiritual identity of Yugoslavs. CONTENTS: The goal and idea of Yugoslav characterology I CHARACTER AND CHARACTEROLOGY 1.
