| Anmerkung. Hans-Georg Gadamer hat den kroatishen Philosphen Mathias Flacius Illyricus / Matija Vlacic Ilirik (1520-1575) als einen Klassiker der Hermeneutik anerkannt. Im zweiten Band seines Hauptwerks "Wahrheit und Methode", behandelt Gadamer Vlacics Hermeneutik sehr umfaenglich. Vlacics Begriff "scopus" ist einer der Grundbegriffe der Hermaneutik bei Gadamer (die Lehre vom Auslegen und Verstehen). Vlacic war einer der einflussreichsten Denker der propestantischen Bewegung, er hat ueber 250 Baende verfasst, und sein Hauptwerk ist "Catalogus testium veritas" (1556). Vlacic stammte aus Istrien. Gadamer hat auch an den Universitaeten in den Vereinigten Staaten Vortraegen / Vorlesungen gehalten. (ra) --------------------- 14.03.2002 Der letzte deutsche Denker in großer Tradition Hans-Georg Gadamer begründete die philosophische Hermeneutik und war in seinen letzten Lebensjahrzehnten der "Nestor" der deutschen Gegenwartsphilosophie. Hans-Georg Gadamer war nicht nur der älteste, sondern auch imposanteste Repräsentant der Geisteswissenschaftler Deutschlands. Der Philosoph starb einen Monat nach seinem 102. Geburtstag in Heidelberg. Der am 11. Februar 1900 in Marburg geborene Sohn eines Chemieprofessors durchlebte das gesamte vergangene Jahrhundert, das er mit seinem umfangreichen Werk bereichert und mitgeprägt hat. Bis zu seinem Tod war Gadamer ein hellwacher Kopf, dazu ein so kritischer wie souveränder Beobachter des Zeitgeschehens. Noch als Greis konnte der Schüler Martin Heideggers aus dem Stand und ohne jedes Konzept druckreif in freier Rede formulieren. In den letzten Jahren drängten sich geradezu die Nachgeborenen, um ein Interview oder einfach nur ein Gespräch mit dem auch äußerlich beeindruckenden weißhaarigen Herrn mit besten Manieren zu bekommen. Denn allen war klar, dass ein Denker dieser Rangstufe, mit diesem enzyklopädischen Wissen und sich wie selbstverständlich in der großen Tradition der deutschen Philosophiegeschichte bewegend, keinen Nachfolger haben würde. Dabei ist der Ruhm erst spät in das lange Leben des schon 1968 von seinem Heidelberger Lehrstuhl abgetretenen Mannes gekommen: 1960 hatte Gadamer mit seinem Hauptwerk "Wahrheit und Methode" Weltgeltung erlangt. Fortan galt er als Begründer der zeitgenössischen "philosophischen Hermeneutik", der Lehre vom Auslegen und Verstehen. Gadamer verstand den Menschen als ein auf Verstehen angelegtes Wesen, der die Erfahrung von Geschichte in Sinn umzuwandeln genötigt ist. Wer je diesen lebhaften Denker bei einer Vorlesung oder einem Vortrag beobachten konnte, sah einen Mann, der das Gespräch und das Wort über alles liebte. Dialogfähigkeit als Überlebensfrage der Menschheit Für den späten Gadamer war die Dialogverpflichtung des Menschen die Überlebensfrage der Menschheit überhaupt: "Die Hermeneutik kann ja besonders dies leisten: den Respekt vor dem anderen wieder zu begründen durch die Tatsache, dass man niemals für sich alleine alles sagen kann." Als der bis zuletzt seine tägliche Weinration genießende Mann diese Erkenntnis eines langen Gelehrtendaseins formulierte, war er übrigens bereits 99 Jahre alt. "Zeuge des Jahrhunderts zu sein, ist eine große Last", meinte er damals im Blick auf jenes 20. Jahrhundert, dessen Irrungen und Wirrungen auch Gadamer nicht entkommen konnte. 1939 hatte der Philosoph einen Lehrstuhl in Leipzig erhalten, den er bis 1947 behielt. Im Hitler-Reich konzentrierte er sich auf sein Fachgebiet, in dem er mit einer von Heidegger abgenommenen Arbeit über die Ethik in der griechischen Antike seine Professur begründet hatte. Unter dem Motto "Auch das geht vorüber" überstand er die Diktatur ohne nachweisbare Verstrickung oder Widerstand. Gadamer sah sich selbst so bewusst wie bescheiden als deutschen Professor traditionellen Stils. In späten Jahren zum Nestor seiner Disziplin, ja zur geistigen Instanz zu werden - das dürfte den persönlich bescheidenen, höchst unspektakulär in einem Einfamilienhaus oberhalb von Heidelberg wohnenden Denker selbst verwundert haben. Doch er war ja nicht nur ein Philosoph, der kluge Bücher geschrieben hatte, sondern ein Meister deutscher Sprache, der nach dem Tod Ernst Jüngers nicht mehr seinesgleichen hatte. Die Muttersprache, sagte er, "prägt unsere Identität und ist durch nichts zu ersetzen." Auch Hans-Georg Gadamer ist nicht zu ersetzen. Seine Werke werden bleiben, aber mehr noch die Erinnerung all derer, die ihn persönlich hören und sehen konnten. Mit seinem Tod geht eine ganze Epoche deutscher Geistesgeschichte zu Ende.

| Socrates. That seems very strange to me, when I consider the principle which you say governs your politics. But there is another class, so very numerous and important, that I am sure your legislators must have found a means of counting their votes, although there may be some material difficulty in doing so : I mean the dead. For who can have a greater stake in a country than its founders, whose whole soul and single hope was devoted to establishing it, that it might last and be true to their thought for ever ; or than the soldiers who in many wars have successively given their lives to preserve it ? Surely at every meeting of your assembly their votes are counted first, which they once cast so solemnly and sincerely, and at so great a sacrifice to themselves for your sake ; and their veto is interposed beforehand against any rash measures that might undo their labours, stultify their hopes, and banish their spirit from the house which they built and loved. The Stranger. No ; the dead have no vote among us. On the contrary, we think they have too much influence as it is without voting, because they have bequeathed institutions to us which encumber our playground and are not to our liking ; and the inertia which these institutions oppose to our fresh desires seems to us a hateful force, which we call the dead hand. Socrates. Do you mean that every young rascal, who knows nothing of the origin and laws of his country, and has never done anything in it but be born, may cast a vote, or that foreigners fleeing from famine or seeking by trade to enrich themselves privately, although in their hearts they may be sworn enemies to the land that receives them, may cast a vote also, but that the founders and defenders of it are not suffered to make their voices heard, because they happen to be dead ? I, who am dead myself, see a great injustice in that... Distributed by www.CroatianWorld.net.

Cijeli njen plodni rad mozda se najbolje moze ilustrirati naslovom njene knjige objavljene 1999. godine »Istinom i cinjenicama za Hrvatsku«. Pisanom rijecju, knjigama i clancima, od kojih je mnoge objavila u Vjesniku, ustrajno se borila protiv predrasuda i krivih interpretacija stvorenih u dijelu medunarodne javnosti o Hrvatima i njihovu pravu na samostalnu drzavu. Tako je ustrajno radila na otkrivanju cinjenica vezanih uz kardinala Stepinca i njegovu djelatnost u spasavanju Zidova uoci i tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata sto se objavila u knjizi »Stepinac i Zidovi«. Na svijetlo dana iznijela je i dokumente o susretu predstavnika Srpske pravoslavne crkve s njemackim vojnim vlastima kada su im iskazali lojalnost, a objavila je i dokument o apelu 500 najznacajnijih predstavnika srpskog naroda u kojem se Srbe poziva na suradnju s nacistima i borbu protiv komunista i Zidova. Ljubica Stefan rodena je 1921. u Prilepu, 1939. upisuje latinski i talijanski na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu no studij prekida tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata.

Bila je clanica saborske Komisije za utvrdivanje ratnih i poratnih zrtava te Odbora za ljudska prava povjerenstva za UNESCO Ministarstva vanjskih poslova RH. Prilikom dodjele priznanja »Pravednik medu narodima« njoj i njenom ocu Luji Stefanu u Yad Vashemu u Jeruzalemu, na njen izricit zahtjev, prvi put bilo upisano ime Hrvatska umjesto dotadasnje Jugoslavije. Zbog osobitog doprinosa razvitku i ugledu RH i dobrobiti njezinih gradana, tadasnji predsjednik Tudman odlikovao ju je za Dan drzavnosti 1998. Redom hrvatskog pletera.

| Boka Kotorska coastal region-What every Croatian must know ! Danny Dabo Taken from Dubrovnik, Konavle, Boka kotorska http://mirror.veus.hr/darko/etf/et111.html#boka Boka kotorska The region of Boka kotorska is situated on the south-east of Dubrovnik and Konavle, along the Adriatic coast from Herceg Novi to very near the town of Bar. It was named after the town of Kotor, which is placed in a fascinating fjord. Boka kotorska was annexed to Montenegro in 1945. At that time it was populated mostly by Croatian Catholics (Bokelji). Now the ethnic situation in this region is entirely different, especially after 1991. The Bokelj's had a very strong fleet, which counted as many as 300 ships in the 18th century. Boka was a rival to Dubrovnik and Venice. It is worth mentioning that one of the Bokeljs - Matej Zmajevic - was the admiral of Baltic navy and the ship-builder of the famous Russian tsar Peter I the Great, and for whom he built a fleet in Voronez. Boka kotorska region is under protection of UNESCO, due to its very rich Croatian cultural heritage. The region around the town of Kotor is situated in probably the most beautiful fjord in Europe. In 1979 there was an earthquake that destroyed or seriously damaged numerous cultural monuments. Very important historical source for early Croatian history is Libellus Gothorum, a chronicle from 12th century known in Croatia as Ljetopis popa Dukljanina. It was written by Archbishop Grgur of Bar, born in Zadar, and Bar is a coastal town in Boka kotorska. The chronicle represents the oldest historiographic work of Croatian Middle Ages. It is interesting that Tripun Kotoran, a Kotor goldsmith, worked on the court of Ivan Grozny in Moscow in 1476. One of the earliest Croatian typographers was Andrija Paltasic (~1450-1500), born in the town of Kotor. He was one of the best Venetian typographers around 1480, who printed more than 40 incunabula, among them the Bible in Italian language. We also mention by the way that a very old missal from 12th century - the Kotor missal, is held in St. Petersburg, Russia. Nikola Modruski, born in Boka kotorska, was bishop of Modrus in Lika, Pope's representative at the court of Stjepan Tomasevic in Bosnia, and on the court of the Hungarian king Matijas Corvin in Budim, his huge library is in the Vatican. He wrote a treatise in defense of the Glagolitic Script in Modrus bishopric. It is regarded to be the first polemic treatise in the history of Croatian literature. Captain Petar Zelalic (Zhelalich), 18th century, born in Boka kotorska, was a member of Order of Maltese Knights. He became famous after his ship defeated a huge Turkish ship called "The Ottoman Crown." In 1782 Krsto Mazarevic from the city of Kotor (in today's Montenegro) performed a flight in two balloons. Another outstanding Croat is captain Ivan Visin born in Prcanj in Boka. His travel around the world started in Antwerpen in 1852 (his ship "Splendido" was 30m long, 311 metric tons of cargo) and ended successfully in Trieste in 1859. He was only the sixth after Magellan to do a similar exploit. For his brave undertaking, which was of the historical importance, he had been decorated by a flag of honour Merito navali by the Austrian Emperor (in fact, Visin was the only one who ever obtained such a honour). The trophy is held in Prcanj. Visin also became the honorary citizen of Trieste. Antun Lukovic, descendant of an old Croatian family from Boka kotorska, was the chief engineer in the project of building the Suez Canal (1859-1869). The Bokelj Marine 809 (Bokeljska mornarica 809) is a confraternity whose aim is to preserve more than a thousand year's Croatian maritime tradition. In 809 the remains of St Tripun were brought by Croatian mariners from Asia Minor to Kotor. The Cathedral of St Tripun in Kotor is the oldest Croatian cathedral, built in 1166. It is worth mentioning that New Yugoslavia participated at the international maritime exhibition EXPO'98 in Lisabon, Portugal, with Croatian cultural and maritime heritage of Boka kotorska. This very old and rich heritage was presented as Yugoslav without even mentioning that it belongs to the Croats in Boka kotorska. One can say that the Croats had in fact two pavilions in Lisabon: one belonging to Republic of Croatia (generally considered as one of the most original pavillions on the exhibition), and the other hidden under the name of Yugoslavia. Yugoslav press (and even some Croatian!) used to add an innocent number 1 to 809, to obtain 1809, thus reducing the rich history of Croatian mariners in Boka kotorska for no less than 1000 years! A delegation of the Bokelj mariners from Boka kotorska participated with their traditional uniforms at the funeral of Stjepan Radic in Zagreb, after his assassination in the Yugoslav Parliament in Belgrade in 1929. Boka kotorska is also known as the Bay of Croatian saints. Out of six Croatian saints and blessed, three of them are from Boka kotorska: St Leopold Bogdan Mandic, blessed Ozana Kotorka, blessed Gracija from Mul. Also the famous Pope Sixto V has Croatian roots from Boka kotorska on his father's side. Out of 38 churches existing in the Kotor region (annexed to Montenegro in 1945) 36 are Catholic and only 2 are Orthodox (one of them was a gift of the Croats in Boka kotorska). On the photo you can see two beautiful churches on islets in the Boka bay, belonging to the Croatian Catholic community in Montenegro, built in the first half of the 17th century (Sveti Juraj and Gospa od Skrpjela). It is interesting that the Church of Gospa od Skrpjela (on the photo) is built on an artificial island! Each year a procession of Croatian Catholics encircles in numerous fishing boats the island of Gospa od Skrpjela and pilgrims throw pebbles around it. An important monument, showing uninterrupted presence of the Croats in Montenegro during many centuries, is the cathedral of St Tripun in the town of Kotor, built as early as 1166. As we have said, it represents the oldest known Croatian cathedral. Its ciborium is decorated with a beutiful wattle pattern which is even older than the church itself, and of the same type as numerous exotic wattle patterns found in many pre-Romanesque churches along the Croatian littoral. The town of Kotor has a surrounding wall which is about 5km long. The benedictine order is present in the region of Boka kotorska since the 9th century. Today this region has about a hundred of Catholic churches and chapels. One of Croatian churches, given as a gift to Serbian Pravoslav Church in Kotor already in 1657 (during Venetian rule), was the church of St Luka in Kotor. The church itself is much older, and dates from 1195. Above the main entrance to the Church we can now read the following inscription "Serbian Pravoslav Church - 1195." This falsification that appeared in 1990's aims to "prove" that the Serbs built this church already in 1195. In 1995 the Serbs in Montenegro even "celebrated" 800th anniversary of this church which was Catholic until 1657, when it was given as a gift to Serbian Pravoslavs. One of the greatest Croatian Baroque painters is Tripo Kokolja (1661-1713), born in the town of Perast in Boka kotorska, whose works of art are held in the Church of Gospa od Skrpjela, and also in the Dominican church in Bol on the island of Brac, in Hvar on the island of Hvar, in Korcula on the island of Korcula (where he died), and in Dubrovnik. When a Russian travel-writer P.A. Tolstoy visited Boka in 1698, he noted that the local hills are also inhabited by the Croats. In the Boka kotorska churches there are important works of art of many outstanding Croatian artists, like Ivan Mestrovic, Antun Augustincic, Celestin Medovic, and other. According to official Montenegrin sources, 40% of real monumental property and 66% of movable monumental property of this republic is in the Boka kotorska region. This means that at least 50% of the entire monumental cultural heritage of Montenegro belongs to the Catholic church in Boka, i.e. to the Croats. And now Montenegro has less than 1% of Catholics. A result of the assimilation and systematic persecutions from the Serbs and Montenegrins in the Boka kotorska region was that the population of the Croats began to diminish rapidly since Yugoslavia was created in 1918, and especially after the aggression against Croatia in 1991. Let us illustrate only the "silent" ethnical cleansing in the ex-Yugoslav period (1918-1991). Namely, while in the period from 1910 (when the last Austro-Hungarian recension was held) to 1991 (the last ex-YU recension) the overall population in Boka kotorska doubled, on the other hand the number of Croats dropped in the same area three times. The towns of Kotor, Perast, Tivat, Dobrota, Prcanj, Herceg Novi and Budva had a Croatian majority in 1910. A large Catholic majority in 1910 had peninsula Vrmac and southern part of Spich (from Sutomore to the border between Boka kotorska and Montenegro near the town of Bar). For example, The number of Croats in Kotor dropped from 69% in 1910 to 7% in 1991; in Herceg Novi from 70% to 2%; in Tivat from 95% to 23%. In 1991 there were only 8% of Croats in Boka kotorska region, and today (after 1991-1995 Serbian and Montenegrin agression on Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina) even less. For example, 350 Croatian families had to leave their native Tivat in the period of 1991-1998. In June 1996 msgr. Ivo Gugic, bishop of Kotor, was cruelly killed (strangled by a wire). The name of the town of Dobrota in Kotor bay has interesting meaning: Goodness. In fact, the French bonté is even closer to the meaning of Croatian dobrota. And there is a family name - Dobrota, that can be found also among the Croats in Konvle region south of Dubrovnik. Vjenceslav Cizek (Gjenovici, Boka kotorska, 1928-2000) has passed away in Dortmund. He was born in a peasant-working class family, educated in Kumbor and Herceg-Novi, and studied philosophy in Sarajevo. For his political beliefs he was sentenced twice to a total of 17 years imprisonment, and due to savage prison tortures he became blind. After his release he lived in Germany. He became internationally known as the "captive of conscience." Vjenceslav Cizek was an exceptional lyricist and satirist of dictatorship. Unfortunately, his literary activity was interrupted by prison. Due to his blindness, he memorised poems while he was in prison using a special mnemonic technique. In his poems he writes about places of his youth - Boka and Konavle. In 1998 a new mosaic was exhibited in a Catholic chapel in the town of Budva in Boka kotorska, on the initiative of the Pravoslav Church in the city. This was done without knowledge of the Catholic Church. On the other hand, it is known that the Votive Icon of Our Lady existed on the same place from 1333 to 1949, when local yugoslav communists threw it out into the sea. Fortunately, the old Catholic icon was saved (though damaged), but it was not allowed to be placed where it had been for centuries. It is little known that until 1949 Bosnia - Herzegovina had another entrance to the Adriatic sea in the region of Sutorine (between Prevlaka peninsula nad Herceg Novi), which is today in Montenegro. Today quite unjustly the New Yugoslav state claims the right to Croatian Prevlaka. See [Macan] As confirmed by all partisan documents related to Boka kotorska and Montenegro during WW2, both regions are mentioned with clear distinction: Boka kotorska (which is defined as a coastal region from Herceg Novi to very near the town of Bar) and Montenegro. Since 1945 the name of Boka kotorska was simply erased. The name of Montenegrins (or Yugoslavs) was imposed to the Croats. Even today many Croats in Boka kotorska are hidden under the name of Yugoslavs (of Catholic faith). An outstanding Croatian intellectual born in 1919 in Boka kotorska was Luka Brajnovic, professor of Ethics of the University of Navarra, a former director of the Institute of Artes Liberales, a well known Spanish intellectual. Premio Brajnovic a la communication is a prestigeous Spanish award (500,000 pesets) established in his honor during his lifetime upon the initiative of newspapermen and lecturers from the University of Pamplon. For the reader who thinks that these claims are not sufficiently well grounded, I can offer a personal experience from the city of Zagreb, Croatia's capital. In 1971 a recension was held in the whole ex-Yugoslavia. At that time I was a 15 years old secondary school pupil. My math teacher "suggested" to everybody, in front of the whole class, to fill in the form as follows: "If I were on your place, I would fill in Yugoslav in the nationality section, and underline it three times." She was a daughter of a Serbian colonel in Zagreb. It was only many years later that I realized the meaning of this "suggestion."
