Požarevačka gimnazija je u subotu, 18. marta, 12. put bila domaćin Državnog takmičenja iz filozofije – SOFija2023. Ove godine na SOFiji je učestvovalo 45 škola. Svečano otvaranje je održano u svečanoj sali.
Prisutnima su se obratile direktorka Požarevačke gimnazije, Danijela Žukovski, potpredsednica Srpskog filozofskog društva, Jadranka Pešti i koordinator Takmičenja, Miloš Jeremić, profesor filozofije. Požarevačku gimnaziju predstavljao je Bogdan Jovanović, učenik četvrtog razreda; njegov mentor, Robert Stojilović, takođe je pozdravio goste.
Učesnici su imali zadatak da napišu esej na jednu od četiri teme:
Topic 1.
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana, The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress (1905-1906)
Topic 2.
Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function. Living is the functionary. The stream retreats to its source. A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think. Does he lack organ or medium to impart his truths? He can still fall back on this elemental force of living them. This is a total act. Thinking is a partial act.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, The American Scholar (1837)
Topic 3.
Knowledge of the fact differs from knowledge of the reasoned fact.
Aristotle, Posterior Analytics, 13 78a22
Topic 4.
In the ideal world, philosophy is related to art just as in the real world reason is related to the organism. Just as reason becomes immediately objective only through the organism, and the eternal ideas of reason become objective in nature as souls of organic bodies, so also does philosophy become objective through art, and the ideas of philosophy become objective through art as the souls of real things. For just this reason, art is to the ideal world what the organism is to the real world.
Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, The Philosophy of Art, § 17 (1859)
Tokom izrade eseja nastavnike filozofije pozdravio je predsednik Srpskog filozofskog društva, Slobodan Kanjevac. Milica Seklović, istraživač Instituta za filozofiju i društvenu teoriju i Miloš Jeremić upoznali su prisutne sa programom obuke ,,Čemu još Filozofija?’’
Učesnici takmičenja i njihovi mentori su po završetku takmičarskog dela dana posetili su Galeriju Milene Pavlović Barili.
U organizaciji Srpske olimpijade filozofije učestvovale su profesorke Ana Vlajović, Marija Kostić, Bojana Račić i Katarina Stokić, a podršku su pružili učenici-volonteri Ana Jovanović, Anđelija Jović, Jana Petrović, Đorđe Mitrović i Iva Simić.
