Pulsiranje jedinstva suprotnosti/The Pulsation of the Unity of Opposites

Abstract

Conflicts are the essential constituent part of the reality and
opposites are their essence. However, opposites that conflict
encompass form peculiar unity which makes possible to say
that harmony is immanent in conflicts. That unity is alive and
dialectical, which is why we characterise it as ''pulsating unity''.
The main problem of the paper is the relation between conflicts
and the opposites, and relation between opposites alone as
harmonic struggle. We are showing that conflicts aren't
something necessarily bad or destructive, but that they also
have constructive role which we locate in their function of
establishing peace and balance, and also in their function of
being the condition of possibility of thinking and arriving to
new knowledge. Apart from those considerations, in the paper
we are also presenting the understanding of opposites, their
unity and importance for the process of change and
development of Heraclitus and Hegel.
