Jedna z kluczowych w poemacie Petara II Petrovicia Njegoša Górski wieniec –idea więzi z przodkami, wraz z soteriologicznie interpretowanymi kategoriami grzechu, cierpienia i odkupienia – stanowi podstawowy punkt odniesienia także dla współczesnych historiozofów serbskich (m.in. R. Samardžić, V. Jerotić). Zaktualizowana i nieco zmodyfikowana w I poł. XX wieku przez bpa N. Velimirovicia idea ta także na początku XXI wieku określa specyficzne kolektywistyczne myślenie o „historycznym przekleństwie” Serbów, wynikającym z „dziedziczenia grzechów” i odpowiedzialności zbiorowej.

ABSTRACT

Petar II Petrović Njegoš’s Work as an Inspiration to Twentieth-century Serbian Historiosophical Conceptions

The idea of the bond with ancestors, along with the categories of sin, suffering and redemption (in the soteriological interpretation) is one of the crucial ones in Petar II Petrović Njegoš’s poem “The Mountain Wreath” and constitutes the fundamental point of reference for the contemporary Serbian historiosophers (among others, R. Samardžić and V. Jerotić) as well. Updated and somewhat modified in the first half of the 20th century by bishop N. Velimirović, also at the beginning of the 21th century, this idea characterises a unique collectivistic thinking about Serb’s “historical curse” which stems from the collective responsibility and “inheritance of sins”.
