Croatian Philosophers III: Pavao Vuk-Pavlović (1894–1976)

The paper is a brief outline of Vuk-Pavlović’s life, his scholarly career and his philosophy. A short account of Vuk-Pavlović’s critique of the theory of knowledge and its interpretation as a meta-empirical issue is given, as well as some aspects of his philosophy of values, providing a framework for his entire philosophical system. Since he has remained one of the most influential Croatian authors when it comes to philosophical considerations of pedagogical problems, the main focus is on his philosophy of education.
U radu se donosi kratki prikaz života, znanstvene karijere i filozofije Pavla Vuk-Pavlovića. Ukratko se izlaže Vuk-Pavlovićeva kritika spoznajne teorije i njegovo tumačenje spoznaje kao metaempiričkog pitanja kao i neki aspekti filozofije vrijednosti koja predstavlja glavnu okosnicu njegova filozofskog sustava. Budući da je do danas ostao jedan od najutjecajnijih hrvatskih autora na području filozofskog razmatranja pedagoških problema, glavni je naglasak stavljen na njegovu filozofiju odgoja.
