Pjesnički svemir Nikole Šopa između Platonovih noetičkih formi i Einsteinova prostorvremena
A Poetic Universe of Nikola Šop Between Plato's Noetic Forms and Einsteinian Spacetime

Summary/Abstract: A poetic universe of Nikola Šop neither stands separately nor exists in parallel with the Timaeus' philosophical or Einstein's modern scientific model of universe. It interferes with those two models through the cosmic and metaphysical anthropic poems, dramas and radiodramas, created by Šop. In poems and dramas Šop originally sings about man, God and universe, creating a new pictures, ideas and concepts of space, time, things, people and events in the universe by his great poetical and metaphysical talents on the ways of the strong tradition of Platonism and Neoplatonism including basic Einstein-Hubble model of universe. A basic concepts of the Šop's cosmic phenomenology will be highlighted in the presentation, such as: relations between space (geometry), time (duration) and creation (roadmaker, stone-artificer), stopped (held) time and Neverarriving-strider, then relation between earth geometry and sphere of the universe, between depth and emptiness of the universe with a cottages in it associated with space-time metric arising from the scientific model of universe. A Šopian account of ethics in the cosmic phase of his work and life will be examined by means of the few distinguished and fantastic notions: destroyer of everything (atomic man), Hiroshima's man, and atomic cloud (Nebula atomica).
