Abstract

This discussion involves different aspects of multidimensional phenomenon of national belonging and additionally relates to the definitions of 'Serbian philosophers' and 'Serbian philosophy'. A thesis is defended that, in order to understand and determine national co­belonging it is most appropriate to locate it in the cross section of basic ethnic identity of the genus on the one side and further constitutive cultural/historical identity on the other side, further to be explained through their fusion. Nation co-belonging actually has three dimensions: genetic/generic, personal/decisionistic and cultural/historical. In this regard, Serbian philosophy is then defined in its basic sense as primarily those concepts created and defended by authors - personal holders of Serbian national identity.
