Abstract

Rad problematizira opstanak humanističke ideje, koju se prikazuje u povijesnoj perspektivi, u odnosu na suvremeni problem izbjeglištva. Humanizam se postavlja u odnos s kategorijama uz koje opstoji u modernom društvu, a to su nacija i kapitalizam kao vrijednosni sistemi. Potom se donosi prikaz problematike izbjegličkih kriza, uključujući pitanje kako su određena društvena kretanja uvjetovala njihov nastanak. Propituju se pojmovi pravednosti, jednakosti i solidarnosti u tržišno orijentiranom društvu. Iz perspektive nekoliko filozofa, promatra se nastalu situaciju u društvu s naglaskom na siromašnima, potlačenima i strancima. Pojam čovjeka, koji je važan za razmatranje navedene problematike, pokušava se odrediti kao univerzalna kategorija s upozorenjem na opasnost partikularizacije od povlaštenih društvenim skupina. Ističe se potreba uspostavljanja humanističkog ideala na tragu Kantova kategoričkog imperativa. Polarizacija i isključivanje drugog kao manje vrijednog praksa je koja postoji stoljećima. No, dosljedna humanistička i univerzalištička etika kontinuirano nastoji oko iskorjenjivanja takvih praksi i pruža osnovu za uspostavljanje temelja na kojima bi bilo izgrađeno pravednije društvo.

Abstract (english)

This text problematizes the survival of the humanist idea, which is presented in a historical perspective, in relation to the contemporary problem of refugees, i.e. refugee crises. Humanism is placed in relation to the categories with which it co-exists in modern society, namely the nation and capitalism as a value system. In the next step this text offers an overview of the issue of refugee crises, including the question of how certain social trends have conditioned their emergence. The notions of justice, equality and solidarity in a market-oriented society are questioned. From the perspective of several philosophers, the situation in society is observed with a special emphasis on the poor, oppressed and foreigners. Refugees are characterized by all these determinants. The notion of the human, which is important for the consideration of this issue, is trying to be defined as a universal category with a warning about the danger of particularization by privileged social groups. The need to establish a humanist ideal on the scent of Kant’s categorical imperative is emphasized. Polarizing and excluding the other as less valuable is a practice that has existed for centuries. However, a consistent humanist and universalist ethics continually seeks to eradicate such practices and provides a basis for establishing the foundations on which a more just society could be built.
