MODERNA I SEKULARNOST/MODERNITY AND SECULARITY

Abstract

Secularity is in an essential understanding of contemporary meaning related to modernity. It is not exhausted in its attitude towards religion, but in its understanding of freedom as a principle of existence. Understanding the relationship between secularity and modernity, that is, establishing the modern meaning of secularity, should be sought through the relationship to tradition, primarily philosophical tradition. Secularity in its fundamental meaning is not an ideological platform, but the result of an understanding of tradition in relation to the modern world.
