Author: The Praxis Group

The Praxis Group (sometimes called the “Belgrade 8”) includes the following Yugoslavian philosophers: Mihailo Markovic, Ljubomir Tadic, Miladin Zivotic, Zagorka Golubovic, Svetozar Stojanovic, Dragoljub Micunovic, Triva Indjic, and Nebojsa Popov. Their cause has aroused democratic world opinion in their behalf. They were involved in the editing of Praxis, a liberal Marxist journal devoted to the ideals of democratic socialism and humanism. The journal has been suppressed in Yugoslavia, the professors suspended from teaching at their universities, and banned from lecturing or writing in Yugoslavia. Now they are threatened with still further repressive measures. The article above describes the current situation.
