This paper deals with the relationship between science and politics and social responsibility of science during social crises that have consequences for the survival and well-being of citizens. The analysis is based on the data analysis of nine interviews conducted with Croatian biomedical experts who were on the front lines during the coronavirus pandemic (2020-2022), whether they were involved in the adoption of pandemic measures or in mitigating the consequences. The results show that science had internal discussions during the crisis, but the complex relationship between politics and science, and science and the media comes into focus, because those difficulties have spilled over to the relationship between science and the public. The paper discusses these findings in the context of the social responsibility of science, but also underlines the importance of understanding the socio-political context and managing policies in constant dialogue with important sectors of society.

Fetishism is one of the fundamental concepts of Marx’s critique of political economy. The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between the concept of fetishism and the concept of ideology, i.e. to consider the ways in which the concept of fetishism can be related to theories of ideology developed by Marx himself and Marxist theorists. Conception of fetishism in Marx’s critique of political economy is presented in the first part of the paper, while the second part explores various Marxist interpretations of ideology, with an emphasis on the distinction between critique of ideology and theory of ideology. The third part of the paper focuses on the conception of modernity developed by contemporary Marxist theorist Jacques Bidet. His theory, which heavily relies on Marx’s insights, provides an original solution to the problem of the relationship between ideology and fetishism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with the research of the values that define, but also arise from the role that women have in Daoism. It seeks to indicate the non-linear historical movement of women’s positions in this tradition. This paper aims to describe social roles through the identification of values in myths and other descriptions of goddesses, immortals, shamans, nuns and other women in Daoism. When it comes to religious women, for practical reasons, the work pays the most attention to women who lived in Daoist temples. The work relies on the Daoist concepts of yin and yang, which represent the female and male principles, but also the opposing forces that move the universe and enable its existence. The role of women in Daoism is based on the glorification of yin, which has been present from the very beginning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last few years, one of the key socio-political topics in Montenegro is the status of the Serbian Orthodox Church and the attitude of political actors towards it. The event that can be considered the most significant to put this topic in the spotlight of social and political life is the decision of the Parliament of Montenegro to adopt the Law on Freedom of Religion in December 2019, which stipulated that the state of Montenegro becomes the owner of all religious buildings that were built before December 1918. That decision caused several months of litigation. As a consequence of all those events, this Law and other religious issues and rights are becoming a key topic of the election campaign ahead of the parliamentary elections in August 2020. At the same time, the Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, Amfilohije Radović, publicly supported the list “For the Future of Montenegro” and influenced that the holder of that list Zdravko Krivokapić will be a non-partisan person. After those elections, the first government in the history of Montenegro that was not part of the DPS was formed after almost 30 years. It is clear that the Serbian Orthodox Church had a significant role in that process. What was the attitude of the presidential candidates towards religion and religious issues before the 2023 election and what was the tonality of the candidates when they spoke about these topics, this paper will examine. The analysis will include two presidential debates shown on Radio and Television of Montenegro. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
