Faculty members of the Department of philosophy in the Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb on 6.2.2017. sent an open letter to the Head of the Croatian Studies and Scientific and teaching board of the Croatian Studies. In the letter they direct attention to the problems they are facing in their work, which they have not been able to solve through the standard bodies of their institution, because of which they are now addressing the expert community and public in general. Many Department teachers are our members. Thus, we as a professional philosophical association, support their endeavors and convey their letter.
The letter can be read here (in Croatian).

The steering committee of the Croatian Society for Analytic Philosophy invites all members to participate in a meeting which will be held on Thursday, 9.2.2017., at 12:00, at the Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka.

– Support to the Department of Philosophy in the former Center for Croatian Studies of the University in Zagreb
– Miscellaneous

We are happy to announce the publication of Nenad Smokrović’s book “Znanost i metoda” (Eng. “Science and the Method”).
The book is published by KruZak

Nenad Smokrović is a full professor in the Department of philosophy and Faculty of Economics at the University of Rijeka. He is also a long-term member of the Croatian Society for Analytic Philosophy.
His fields of interest are philosophy of logic, theories of rationality, and the methodology of scientific research.

In the book, Smokrović discusses issues related to the methodology of scientific research. The primary aim is not to state and describe specific methods how to conduct research in a scientific field. Rather, the aim is to explain the nature of scientific research, the relationship between theory and reality, and to make salient the criteria common to all sciences, but also to indicate peculiarities pertaining to specific scientific fields. The special focus is on the field of economical studies to which the insights drawn form a more general level are applied. (Taken from Kruzak)
