The volume, In the sphere of Dositej: Dositej Obradović and the Scottish Enlightenement, deals with the contacts that Dositej Obradović had with some of the figures of the Scottish Enlightenment and the influence that these thinkers exerted on the man who would then become the main protagonist of the South Slav Enlightenment. It focuses on providing an accurate picture of the literary and cultural milieu of the Scottish Enlightenment into which Dositej entered when he left his homeland in December 1784 and took up residence in London where he remained until the end of May 1785 and it also engages in an extensive exploration of the reverberations that Scottish Enlightenment thought then had, not only on Dositej’s own work, but also on the literary, cultural and historical activities of the main representatives of Dositej’s cultural circle, i.e. his friends and collaborators, especially Pavle Solarić. The objective of the book is to make a contribution to the current knowledge about the life and work of Dositej Obradović, by demonstrating that Dositej, just by chance – since in life of Dositej Obradović things “happened by chance” – came into contact with the main eighteenth-century European academic community and how this community was part of a wider European scientific and literary world, with which he initiated a constant communication, contact and exchange of ideas.

Abstract

The volume, In the sphere of Dositej: Dositej Obradović and the Scottish Enlightenement, deals with the contacts that Dositej Obradović had with some of the figures of the Scottish Enlightenment and the influence that these thinkers exerted on the man who would then become the main protagonist of the South Slav Enlightenment. It focuses on providing an accurate picture of the literary and cultural milieu of the Scottish Enlightenment into which Dositej entered when he left his homeland in December 1784 and took up residence in London where he remained until the end of May 1785 and it also engages in an extensive exploration of the reverberations that Scottish Enlightenment thought then had, not only on Dositej’s own work, but also on the literary, cultural and historical activities of the main representatives of Dositej’s cultural circle, i.e. his friends and collaborators, especially Pavle Solarić. The objective of the book is to make a contribution to the current knowledge about the life and work of Dositej Obradović, by demonstrating that Dositej, just by chance – since in life of Dositej Obradović things “happened by chance” – came into contact with the main eighteenth-century European academic community and how this community was part of a wider European scientific and literary world, with which he initiated a constant communication, contact and exchange of ideas.
