Od kritike religije do dijaloga: Filozofija Branka Bošnjaka – povodom 10. obljetnice smrti
From Criticism of Religion to Dialogue: The Philosophy of Branko Bošnjak – Marking the 10th Anniversary of his Death

Summary/Abstract: Contrary to the marginal significance of the criticism of religion in the Croatian philosophy of praxis, during the first, “Marxist” phase of his theorical activities, Branko Bošnjak dedicated a substantial part of his interests and opus to the criticism of religion. His path of development was interesting: from a doctrinaire antitheist of a Leninist inspiration to an open Marxist inclined to the dialogue with the opposing Christian position. Bošnjak was able to perform an integral and radical turn regarding his relation to the Marxist criticism of religion or, rather, regarding the importance of this criticism, precisely because according to his habitus and basic world-view he, in essence, was not a Marxist. Completely contrary to the Marxian postulate of surpassing philosophy, over the following decades Bošnjak created an impressive and excellent philosophical opus, and during his lifetime he earned an unquestionable reputation of an authentic thinker, a true philosopher, i.e. a propagator of the genuine ancient philosophical and life wisdom.
