Nauka, filozofija, umjetnost

The work "Science, Philosophy, Art" (or, in the spirit of the author’s synthetic treatises on these subjects) by the prominent Croatian physicist, philosopher, writer, and academician Ivan Supek represents the culmination of his lifelong reflection on the fundamental questions of human existence and knowledge. Drawing upon his extensive experience in theoretical physics, as well as his profound understanding of the social sciences and artistic creation, the author constructs a comprehensive perspective on the human spirit. In this book, Supek analyzes how nature, physical laws, philosophical systems, and artistic expression have, throughout history, intertwined and complemented one another. He strongly opposes narrow specialization and the rigid separation of science from art, emphasizing that without a synthetic approach, humanity loses a holistic grasp of reality. Particular focus is placed on the ethical and humanistic dimensions of both scientific and artistic endeavor. The author advocates for the responsibility of scientists and artists within modern society, warning against the dangers of the misuse of technology and the loss of a moral compass. This book serves as a timeless intellectual invitation to a dialogue between the exact sciences, philosophical reflection, and artistic freedom—all in the service of preserving human dignity.
