Ontological intuition and the notion of panamorization in the philosophy of J. Weissgerber

Činjenica je da su za komunističkoga režima u Hrvatskoj djelovali vrsni katolički filozofi, većinom svećenici. Oni su, istina nepriznati od javnosti, svojim idejama, u prvom redu svojom otvorenošću i spremnošću na svestrani dijalog, bili inspiracija mnogim kršćanskim intelektualcima. Jedan od takvih filozofa bio je i Josip Weissgerber (1922.-1985.), profesor filozofske antropologije, psihologije i povijesti suvremene filozofije na Filozofsko-teološkom institutu Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu, odnosno na teološkim učilištima u Zambiji i Zairu. Weissgerber je na Katoličkom bogoslovnom fakultetu u Zagrebu diplomirao teologiju. Na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu diplomirao je psihologiju, njemački, francuski i engleski jezik. Na katoličkom sveučilištu u Louvainu 1970. godine obranio je doktorat iz psihologije te 1972. godine i doktorat iz filozofije. Weissgerber je u hrvatsku filozofsku misao unio ideje Th. de Chardina, K. Rahnera i E. Coretha, pa je prema autoru ovog priloga Weissgerberova misao živo svjedočanstvo da je hrvatska kršćanska filozofija spremno slijedila trag zapadnih filozofskih stremljenja i nastojanja. Autor ovoga članka predstavlja kao prvo Weissgerberovu filozofsku metodu; drugo, pokazuje Weissgerberov put od ontološke intuicije do panamorizacije te treće, istražuje elemente i sadržaj dijaloga s marksitima i evolucionistima.Many excellent Catholic philosophers, mainly priests, did in fact remain active in their field during the Communist regime in Croatia. Although not publically acknowledged, they indeed inspired many Christian intellectuals with their ideas, and primarily with their openness and willingness to initiate dialogue. One such philosopher was Josip Weissgerber (1922 - 1985), professor of philosophical anthropology, psychology and the history of contemporary philosophy at the Philosophical-Theological Institute of the Society of Jesus in Zagreb, as well as at the schools of theology in Zambia and Zaire. Weissgerber received his degree in theology from the Catholic Faculty of Theology in Zagreb. At the Faculty of Philosophy at Zagreb University he received his degrees in psychology, German, French and English. He earned his doctorate in psychology at the Catholic University in Louvain in 1970, and in 1972 obtained there his doctoral degree in philosophy. Weissgerber introduced into Croatian philosphical reflection the ideas of T. de Chardin, K. Rahner and E. Coreth, and thus, according to the author of this article, Weissgerber\u27s thought is living testimony of the fact that Croatian Christian philosophy readily pursued the philosophical aspirations and endeavours of the West. The author of this article endeavours to: 1. present Weissgerber\u27s philosophical method; 2. trace Weissgerber\u27s path from ontological intuition to panamorization, and 3. examine the elements and the content of his dialogue with Marxists and Evolutionists
