objektivizam

Objektivizam is a philosophical and literary movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily in France. It is characterized by its emphasis on objectivity, rationality, and the scientific method. The movement was a reaction against the romanticism and subjectivism of the previous era, which had emphasized emotion, intuition, and individual experience.

The key figures of objektivizam include Henri Bergson, who is known for his work "Matter and Memory," and his student, André Gide. Bergson's philosophy, which he called "vitalism," posited that life is a fundamental principle of the universe, distinct from matter and energy. Gide, on the other hand, was a novelist and essayist who advocated for a more objective and analytical approach to literature.

The objektivizam movement had a significant influence on French literature and philosophy. It encouraged writers to focus on the external world and the objective reality of human experience, rather than on the internal states of the mind. This approach led to a more realistic and detached style of writing, which is often associated with the movement.

However, objektivizam also faced criticism for its perceived lack of emotional depth and its emphasis on the rational over the intuitive. Despite this, the movement left a lasting impact on French intellectual and cultural life, shaping the way many writers and thinkers approached their work.
