PHILOSOPHICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN REPORTS ON SEBRIAN GREAT GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN NOVI SAD

Abstract

The author points out that studying the Reports rhetorically testifi es about the presence of philosophical knowledge and reference to philosophical authors present among teachers of Novi Sad’s Great Grammar School who never taught philosophy. Therefore, in that period, it was possible for Novi Sad’s Great Grammar School to often change teachers of philosophy, since thorough philosophical knowledge used to belong to the educational syllabus of contemporary teachers, at least when it came to those who studied »spiritual science«. In the Reports, philosophical issues were predominant over articles of philosophy teachers. The issue confi guration of teachers’ works focused on the following three subjects: language, history and education. The analysis of prominent texts showed that contemplative strongholds which shaped philosophical consciousness, which were also adopted by the teachers of Novi Sad’s Great Grammar School in the period from 1867 to 1918, fully corresponded to the standards of the time.
