Philosophy and Politics – the Experience of the Publication review «Praxis» (1964-1974)

Summary/Abstract: This contribution investigates the role and significance of the “Praxis” philosophical review in its national and international sphere. “Praxis” marked the post-war Yugoslav philosophical debate and its outcomes; but more than that, it becomes the only living voice of Yugoslav “philosophical practice”. The “Praxis” idea of philosophy is suggested in its title: “the activity of thought” that the Yugoslav philosophers adopted had to change the fate of the world and was intended to be a real revolution. “Praxis” became, therefore, the journal of anti-dogmatic, humanist and revolutionary Marxism and developed from a new way of reading Marx. The Yugoslav example thus proposed a new stage in Marxist history, an antidogmatic one, centered on the creation of a humanistic and revolutionary Marxism. After forty-four since its suppression (1974), and inspired by the bicentenary celebrations of Karl Marx birthday, this essay reflects on what remains of the “Praxis phenomenon” nowadays.
