Marija Brida and the Research of Croatian Renaissance Philosophy

Abstract

Marija Brida (1912 – 1993) is one of the most famous Croatian women philosophers and university professors of philosophy who worked in the middle and second half of the twentieth century. The education and work of Marija Brida is significant for understanding the circumstances and development of philosophy and academic establishment in our area. Furthermore, based on her life and work, thematic changes and the intertwining of personal interests with the influences of the social and political circumstances in which she worked can be read. In this article, I deal with Brida's contribution to Croatian Renaissance philosophical heritage, with special emphasis on Juraj Dubrovčanin, and her intensive collaboration with the journal Contributions to the Research of Croatian Philosophical Heritage.
