Abstract

Ovaj rad analizira koncept optimalnog iskustva, poznatog i kao flow, koji je razvio Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Utemeljen na pozitivnoj psihologiji, teorija optimalnog iskustva istražuje stanje potpune uronjenosti u aktivnost te daje prikaz nove paradigme u okviru pitanja ljudske sreće. Rad započinje povijesnim pregledom Csikszentmihalyijevog doprinosa teoriji optimalnog iskustva i širem području psihologije pozitivnog iskustva. Nakon toga, konceptualnom će se analizom razraditi definiranje koncepta, ali i problematika prijevoda riječi flow na hrvatski jezik. Filozofske postavke optimalnog iskustva istražuju se kroz prizmu razrade glavnih filozofskih pojmova u teoriji: svijesti, psihičke energije, igranja i autoteličnog iskustva. Svijest se analizira putem Csikszentmihalyijevog fenomenološkog modela baziranog na teoriji informacija, a razmatraju se i stavovi Johna Searlea te Edmunda Husserla. Nadalje, rad istražuje kako optimalno iskustvo može poslužiti kao most rješenja problema uma i tijela u filozofiji. Konačno, rasprava o sreći smješta optimalno iskustvo u širi filozofski kontekst, istražujući kako se filozofija sreće u okviru Platonove i Aristotelove filozofije može reinterpretirati kroz prizmu optimalnog iskustva. Konačni cilj rada je predstaviti analizirati pojam, koji predstavlja jedan od ključnih elemenata sretnog života, povezujući teorije psihologije i filozofije u smisleno razumijevanje ljudske sreće.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyzes the concept of optimal experience, also known as flow, developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Based on positive psychology, the theory of optimal experience explores the state of complete immersion in an activity and presents a new paradigm within the framework of human happiness. The paper begins with a historical overview of Csikszentmihalyi's contribution to the theory of optimal experience and the broader field of psychology of positive experience. After that, a conceptual analysis will be used to define the concept, as well as the issue of translating the word flow into Croatian language. Philosophical principles of optimal experience are explored through the prism of elaboration of the main philosophical terms in the theory: consciousness, psychic energy, play and autotelic experience. Consciousness is analyzed through Csikszentmihalyi's phenomenological model based on information theory, and the views of John Searle and Edmund Husserl are also considered. Furthermore, the paper explores how optimal experience can serve as a possible solution to the mind-body problem in philosophy. Finally, the discussion of happiness places optimal experience in a broader philosophical context, exploring how the philosophy of happiness within the framework of Plato's and Aristotle's philosophies can be reinterpreted through the prism of optimal experience. The paper concludes that the optimal experience can represent one of the key elements of a happy life, connecting the theories of psychology and philosophy in a meaningful understanding of human happiness.
