Summary/Abstract: Zoran Đinđić was the first (and so far only) Serbian prime minister with a PhD in philosophy and publications entirely or partially devoted to the philosophy of politics. Therefore, it is worth asking whether there was any impact of his early philosophical views on his later politics. The author is dealing with what he considers to be the main discontinuity and the main continuity in Đinđić’s thought. The former one marks the field of philosophy of history: in contrast to his early critique of philosophy of history, once in power Đinđić formulated his own „philosophy of Serbian history”. The latter one, his critique of Enlightement as totalitarian, proved to be persistent throughout his life. In the last months of his life Đinđić began to take on the features of a Barbarogenius, as Ljubomir Micić once described himself.
