Varaždin’s philosophical circle of Croatian philosophical society

Varaždinski filozofski krug Hrvatskog filozofskog društva bio je organizacija koja je željela okupiti nastavnike filozofske grupe predmeta na varaždinskim srednjim školama. U prikazu rad ide u dva faktografska pravca: historijsko - temporalni i personalno - znanstveni. Notiraju se ustroj i djelatnosti Kruga po datumima: okupljanje, organiziranje predavanja i predstavljanja knjiga. Zatim se rad okreće singularnoj znanstvenoj djelatnosti trojice najistaknutijih i najaktivnijih članova: Ivana Čehoka, Ćirila Čoha i Eduarda Vargovića. Kako je Krug bio posebno vezan uz časopis Metodički ogledi, rad prati djelatnost spomenute trojice unutar časopisa, primarno u vrijeme djelovanja Kruga, ali i kasnije. Konsekvencijalno gledano Krug svojevrsnu sublimaciju dosiže nakon formalnog ugasnuća (no ne i dokinuća) kroz doprinos ustroju nastave etike u srednjim školama u većoj mjeri te u manjoj mjeri filozofije.Varaždinski filozofski krug Hrvatskog filozofskog društva (Varazdin’s Philosophical Circle of Croatian Philosophical Society) was an organization that aimed at bringing together philosophy teachers in Varazdin high schools. The article takes two factual directions: a historic-temporal and personal-scientific. The author records the establishment and activities of the Krug by dates: gathering, organizing public lectures and book presentations. Then the paper focuses on the individual scientific activity of its three most prominent and most active members: Ivan Čehok, Ćiril Čoh and Eduard Vargović. As the Krug was particularly linked with the philosophical journal Metodički ogledi, the article concentrates on their activities associated with the journals, primarily during the existence of the Krug, but also later. Consequentially, the Krug reaches its sublimation after its formal extinction (but not revocation), through its contribution made to the setup of Ethics classes in high schools to a greater extent, and Philosophy classes to a lesser extent
