»Visokoekspertna klerikalnost slovenskega komunizma«: preplet antimarksizma in antikrščanstva v misli Tineta Hribarja

In the 1980s, Tine Hribar devised a unique philosophical project that in many regards relies on his influential interpretation of the Antigone myth. In a number of key places, this project is articulated as an antithesis to Marxist ideology on the one hand, and to Christian tradition on the other. The present paper demonstrates that these two critical stances of Hribar’s are not in equilibrium; rather, Hribar’s confrontation with Christianity, which goes back to his student days in the early 1960s, is central, whereas his anti-Marxism, which developed at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, is embedded in the structure of that confrontation. This relationship is further complicated by the fact that Hribar’s antiChristian stance took its characteristic form precisely in his youthful Marxist period.
