    UDK 16 (497.6) Nijaz Ibrulj Faculty of philosophy University of Sarajevo BOSNIA PORPHYRIANA AN OUTLINE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOGIC IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Abstract The text is a drought outlining the development of logic in Bosnia and Herzegovina through several periods of history: period of Ottoman occupation and administration of the Empire, period of Austro-Hungarian occupation and administration of the Monarchy, period of Communist regime and administration of the Socialist Republic and period from the aftermath of the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to this day (the Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina) and administration of the International Community. For each of the aforementioned periods, the text treats the organization of education, the educational paradigm of the model, status of logic as a subject in the educational system of a period, as well as the central figures dealing with the issue of logic (as researchers, lecturers, authors) and the key works written in each of the periods, outlining their main ideas. The work of a Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry, “Introduction” (Greek: Eijsagwgh;v Latin: Isagoge; Arabic: Īsāġūğī) , can be seen, in all periods of education in Bosnia and Herze - govina, as the main text, the principal textbook, as a motivation for logical thinking.

  • Polygon“, „Pašin Brdo“ Und „Vra[T]Ca“
    Austrian Society for Fortification Research - OeGF Stated Destruction of Austro-Hungarian Fortification around the City of Sarajevo with a Focus on the Objects „Polygon“, „Pašin brdo“ und „Vra[t]ca“. The aim of this report is to give an overview about the very negative development regarding the state of preservation of Austro‐Hungarian fortification around the city of Sarajevo. The site inspection of the forts Polygon, Pasin brdo and Vratca on the 11th respectively 12th of October this year and the disover of evident loss of substance lead the author to write this report. The survey of fort Vraca was done during an excursion that was part of the symposium „Civil‐military Cooperation regarding Cultural Property Protection in Crisis Response and its aftermath“. All the mentioned objects have been surveyed by the author in the year 2011, some of them in 2013 as well. Further on, documentations done by fortification experts from Germany (2018), Slovenia (2014) and the Netherlands (2009/10) could be analysed for this report. Among those three objects only fort Vratca – as part of the „Spomen‐Park Vraca“ ‐ is listed as national monument (BiH). [former] Fort N° IV „Pasin brdo“ Mountain fort partly with armor of a type designed especially for the protection of the capital Sarajevo. In fact this type of forts was realized only around this city. It was built between 1888 and 1889 as the first of the four "major girdle‐forts" and formed the northeastern cornerstone of the defensive belt. It is an early example of an armored fortification built by the former Habsburg Monarchy and one of only five forts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which included an armored battery.
