One is the issue of drawing\u0000 an appropriate distinction between the concepts of life plan and life goals.\u0000 The ancient philosophical figures tended to call the former ?reason?, or\u0000 ?wisdom?. The modern age has reactualized this distinction due to\u0000 exceptionally forceful social and technological influences, many of which\u0000 have caused large numbers of individuals to adopt life goals which, while\u0000 socially highly desirable, in fact work against the implementation of their\u0000 more authentic life plans. The outcome of this uncritical adoption of what\u0000 seems as a thrilling and satisfying structure of life goals, while at the\u0000 same time betraying one?s deeper life plan, or life strategy, is failure to\u0000 achieve a high quality of life, or ?the good life?.","PeriodicalId":374875,"journal":{"name":"Theoria, Beograd","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128793077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emotions induced and made alive\u0000 through the artwork are ways and modes of participation in its originative\u0000 truth; they are anything but mere mental events, or an expression of the\u0000 needs of the audience. Therefore, the creative truth of emotions belongs to\u0000 the artwork. Their and the origin of the artwork is one and the same, and it\u0000 is independent of the artist.

It is said that Petronijevic wrote a negative official\u0000 review on Knezevic?s book Principles of History. The story fits well with\u0000 the negative myth of Petronijevic. To establish the facts it is important to\u0000 take into account the chronology, archival materials, memoirs and other\u0000 historical sources. When Knezevic applied for the position of a professor of\u0000 general history at the Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy Petronijevic was a 21\u0000 years old student at the University of Leipzig (1897). Ljubomir Nedic, then\u0000 a professor of philosophy at the Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy, recommended\u0000 publishing Knezevic?s first volume of Principles of History (1898). In the\u0000 meantime Knezevic did not apply for the position of a professor of History\u0000 of Philosophy and Ethics (February, 1898). Petronijevic did not write an\u0000 official review on Knezevic?s manuscript, but a review of an already\u0000 published book (September, 1898). The Principal educational council of the\u0000 Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Serbia asked Nedic to write an\u0000 official review of the manuscript of the second volume of Knezevic?s\u0000 Principle of History (1899). Since Nedic couldn?t accept it, the newly\u0000 elected professor Petronijevic wrote a review of Knezevic?s new manuscript.\u0000 Although critical and analytical, the review was positive and the book was\u0000 published (1901).","PeriodicalId":374875,"journal":{"name":"Theoria, Beograd","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132324562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
