Abstract:

In this paper, we deal with the works of Rusmir Mahmutćehajić, which in the broadest sense of the word can be classified as literary – from early lyrical-philosophical prose, through short stories dealing with cultural and identity engagement, travelogues resulting from travels and searching for oneself in the Orient and the Occident, essays focused on various issues of Bosnia, and all the way to serious literary-critical and literary-theoretical studies centered on the most important works of Bosnia. The editorial-critical presentations and readings of Skender Kulenović and Mak Dizdar should not be neglected. If in Mahmutćehajić's overall oeuvre the topic of Bosnia is called an obsessive topic, which is one of the conclusions of this paper, then in a methodological and intellectual sense, perennial philosophy is called the model through which Mahmutćehajić offers his understanding of the world around him and the world within himself. According to the same model of approach to reading and understanding the intricate and deep lines of poetry of Skender Kulenović and Mako Dizdar, the mysterious textual and contextual meanings and meanings of the ballads of Hasanaginica. Ultimately, we have a studious one, with new research and insights into the cultural and general history of Bosnia, and new spiritually enriched approaches to understanding both the world of reality and the world of literary works.

Keywords: Bosnia, perennial philosophy, scientia sacra, ars sacra.
