Abstract

The paper critically discusses the theoretical foundations and key values of pacifism in the philosophical and socio-legal discourse of Ksenija Atanasijević and Đorđe Tasić. Furthermore, in the context of political events in Europe and the world in the 1930s, the interest in pacifist ideas and non-violent forms of resistance to extreme forms of violence among the Serbian intellectual elite is analyzed, pointing out the fate of pacifism and advocation of pacifist ideas, as well as the significance of these ideas for our contemporary political culture. In the second part of the paper, from a broader perspective of our time in a context dominated by various forms of extreme violence resulting from wars, migration, epidemics and the struggle for political, economic and military dominance, the authors intend to indicate the relevance and key values of the idea of pacifism and the practical pacifist engagement of Ksenija Atanasijević and Đorđe Tasić.
