The Concept of Freedom and Fight for Freedom of Speech in Vlado Gotovac's Work

The view of diversity with Vlado Gotovac does not reveal just one form of his political activity but also his relationship towards transcendence & its values. Therefore, Gotovac's advocacy of the right to be different has a horizontal & vertical dimension, that is the unquestionable right to respect difference is realized through the enforcement of justice & freedom, just as the acceptance of such diversity through justice & freedom includes the accepting of the transcendence, that is Eternity as the basic & irreversible basis & reason for such diversity. For Gotovac, accepting diversity is a pre-condition for respecting the individual in all his human dignity, society in its healthy functioning state & the world in its survival. Such diversity can be found only in the acceptance of Eternity as the primordial origin of the human person, the basis of his dignity & the principle of his existence. As seen through the prism of its origin in Eternity, Gotovac's individual is justified as a separate & unrepeatable individual with all his riches, rights & duties which include our human right to simply be a person.
