Контрадикције српског просветитељства: Аутономија и једноумље
Contradictions of Serbian Enlightenment: Autonomy and Unanimity

Summary/Abstract: This paper approaches concepts of earning, singlemindedness, and nation as characteristics of the epoch of Serbian enlightenment at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. The specificity of these notions is outlined through their comparison with the notions of autonomy, antagonism, and cosmopolitism as characteristics of Western European and German enlightenment. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the selected concepts in their social and political context. Such a reading results in an outline of a conceptual framework defining later disputes in the Serbian enlightenment disputes converging with the opposition between authority and autonomy, antagonism and unity and cosmopolitism and nation.
