Abstract (croatian)

U radu se nastoje pronaći i pokazati počeci i začetnici hrvatske političke znanosti. Autor razmatra praktičnu filozofiju i djela Ivana Polikarpa Severitana, Franje Petrića i Nikole Vitova Gučetića, hrvatskih polihistora iz XVI. stoljeća. Unatoč činjenici da je politička filozofija u Hrvata u ovom stoljeću znatno bogatija, navedeni autori izabrani su zbog toga jer je njihovo djelo obujmom veće, a prema dosad istraženom i značajnije od ostalih. Analizom njihovih djela pronalaze se i argumentiraju razlozi zašto se trojica navedenih autora mogu smatrati začetnicima hrvatske političke znanosti. Svi su oni pisali o politici,raspravljali o političkim pitanjima, posebice ustanovljenju i funkcioniraju političke zajednice, vladaru i vlasti, oblicima vladavine, itd. u izravnom osloncu ili oporbi spram ključnog mislioca tog doba - Aristotela. Osim nacionalne pripadnosti i vezanosti uz naše krajeve za spomenute mislioce karakteristično je da su se bavili aktualnom problematikom tadašnjeg doba, da su bili uključeni u suvremene rasprave o pojedinim od političkih pitanja, poglavito oko identifikacije nositelja suvereniteta i postulate na kojima se zasnivaju političke zajednice, da su nastojali reafirmirati grčke principe ustanovljenja države (grada-polisa) na osnovi jedinstva etike i politike i druge značajke. Preko trojice autora koji su djelovali u različitim vremenima XVI. stoljeća, vidljiv je napredak u misli o politici - od vezanosti uz skolastiku do promišljanja politike kao praktičnog umijeća koje se podešava prilikama i vremenu.

Abstract (english)

In this work, the author attempts to find and show the begginings of Croatian political science. The author considers 16th century practical philosophy and political work of Croatian political historians Ivan Polikarp Severitan, Franjo Petrić and Nikola Vitov Gučetić. In spite of the fact that Croatian political philosophy is considerably more diverse in this century, the above-named authors were chosen because their work is representative of the whole, and is quite significant. An analysis of their work yields arguments for choosing these three authors above others in influencing Croatian political science. All wrote about politics, and discussed political themes - especially the creation and the function of the political community, government and authority - within the parameters of a key philosopher of that era - Aristotle. Except for their nationality and ties to the region, the three authors were concerned with actual problems of that era, and were included in political discussions, i.e. the identification of sovereignty and postulates upon which political communities are formed. They reaffirmed Greek principles of creation of the state on the basis unity of ethics, policy and other attributes. Through these authors, active in different times of the 16th century, we can see a progression in political philosophy - from a close tie to scholastics to politics as a practical art which adapts to opportunities and conditions.
