Pensée historique et nationale dans les oeuvres de Dositej Obradović
Main Article Content
Abstract
For both Serbs and Greeks history has always been a means of
education. New ideas of patriotism emphasize nationalist ideas so that events from the past gain in importance. It was in such terms that Dositej
considered history and its role in the national and cultural renaissance
of the Serbian people. His complex output also includes two
works of a theoretical and critical nature, namely On History and in
memory of Famous People, and On Teaching History. For his time,
and even for today, Dositej had a correct attitude towards history
as science. History is only a description of conflicts, battles and victories.
The events should be understood properly and judged through
deep reflection.
