FIRST DAYS
A novel about how and why a young and talented engineer goes to work abroad. Economic and moral disharmony, perhaps as a reflection of the ruling ideology, are unseeing but inevitable reality in the heart and thinking of a young man, torn between two alternatives: TO UNDERSTAND AND LEAVE OR TO BELIEVE AND PUT UP WITH IT. The publishing houses did not want to take the political risk of publishing this book.
ESSAY ON GOD,
On Relativity and Symmetry Regarding the Death of Grandpa John
Actually a philosophical novel, this is a literary introduction to a philosophy which indeed adopts all the axioms of the official dialectic materialism of the time, but only as mere descriptions. Based on contemporary exact sciences, it attempts a deeper contemplation of reality. Thus, it may be considered a kind of encyclopedic anthology of extracts from physics, chemistry, molecular biology and evolution. It also proposes A NEW INTERPRETATION OF EINSTEIN'S POSTULATE OF THE CONSTANT VELOCITY OF LIGHT WITH REFERENCE TO THE QUANTUM FIELD THEORY.
POLITICS, BREAD AND BOOKS
A social novel to a certain extent, it however deals with actual cultural and political incidents. These serve as an alibi for reflections on Yugoslav society and on society in general, with an occasional excursion into philosophy. The final chapter lays the foundations for a real political economics of socialism, pointing out the basic socio-economic relationship of such a society and its inherent contradiction: PERSONAL OR GROUP OWNERSHIP OVER THE RIGHT TO POLITICAL DECISION. The manuscript was not accepted too.
PHILOSOPHY AND BELIEF,
Introduction to the Thought of Contradictory Whole
Although presented in literary style, this is actually a philosophic work in the ontological sense: REGARDLESS OF DOGMATIC OR IDEOLOGICAL DIVISION into materialism and idealism, and the beliefs they engender, it considers the main question of philosophy to be the existence of the world, the answer to which is to be found within itself. The attempt to answer this question opens up possibilities of a new debate with a widely varied range of philosophers: Berkeley and Spinoza, Kant, Hegel and Kierkegaard, which renders meaningless the philosophical foundation of any ideology WHICH SEEKS TO EXCLUDE OTHER IDEAS. This philosophy of existence was not accepted either.
