BUDI U BITI! CHITTICKOVO RAZUMIJEVANJE UNIVERZALNOG ČOVJEKA
CHITTICK’S UNDERSTANDING OF UNIVERSAL MAN

Summary/Abstract: A conclusion is “the royal road to philosophy”. It does not exist, but is insisted upon. It is meant to be a compilation of what has been accumulated in the text. All the images and experiences of a journey are to be expressed by the goal. The search for a conclusion is the confirmation of a world reduced to a syllogism. A soul travelling towards the Universal would benefit more from a reminiscence of the journey and its highlights than from a conclusion. This text is focused on emphasising the importance of translation as a journey of one’s own, renouncing hearsay views and, in particular, expressing the significance of comparing the human God with the almost inoperable to be contained in every individuality. Chittick surmises and records. He translates and establishes. While translating, he enables those less informed of the original texts to discern their own paths. His thought is essentially interpretative. Without any pretension to statements uncorroborated by translated texts, Chittick is a testimony to the beauty of an inspired interpretation suggesting new possible roads.
