REVIEW OF COMING CLOSER

Summary/Abstract: Damir Barbarić is one of the most important Croatian philosophers today. In this book he seeks to set out different possibilities for an innovative approach to reading the classics of philosophy. This collection of essays covers a wide range of topics, from the Greeks to contemporary issues of media-influenced aesthetics. Some of today’s philosophical problems are traced back to some paradign theories of western thinking, in so doing, Barbarić is trying to avoid the traditional grouping of philosophers, and succeeds in making some well known concepts sound different and contemporary. Professor Barbarić’s work as a whole is strongly influenced by phenomenology and hermeneutics. He himself calls his thinking a “thinking of transition” or “transitional thinking”, which reminds us of Heidegger and Gadamer, of their efforts to understand “thinking” as an exposure to a pure event, a place where “transition” itself occurs.
