Summary/Abstract: Paja Radosavljević is a person whose life and work is little known in public. Everything written about him has been characterized by a number of doubtful statements. Dilemma starts from a question if he was a pedagogue or a psychologist, if he was in conflict with the educational authorities of his age or not, if he had deserved to teach at the Belgrade University or not, to the question if he obliged anybody with his work and if anyone should honor and remember him or not. This paper tends to answer the mentioned dilemmas. A conclusion of our research on Paja Radosavljević, who was a great man nevertheless, is that he certainly deserves a particular monument, a monument which should not be a late recognition of his greatness, but a reminder to our society that it should never allow to realize greatness and a loss of its best people afterwards, when it is already late.
