Life and work

Mario Kopić was born in Dubrovnik, Croatia. He studied Philosophy and Comparative Literature at the University of Zagreb; Phenomenology and Anthropology at the University of Ljubljana; History of Ideas at the Institute Friedrich Meinecke at the Free University of Berlin (under the mentorship of Ernst Nolte); and Comparative Religion and Anthropology of religion at the Sapienza University of Rome (under the mentorship of Ida Magli).[3]

Mario Kopić's philosophical work is under the influence of the Italian philosophical approach known as pensiero debole[4] or "weak thought", the political thought of Arendt,[5][6] and the ethical-political thought of late Derrida.[7]

In his latest works The Unhealable Wound of the World, The Challenges of the Post-metaphysics, Sextant and The Beats of the Other Kopić developed a kind of onto-politics of liberal-conservative postmodernism and the post-anthropocentric humanism.[8] For him the world is the space of being as event, and only then the arena of national and social or political conflict.[9] The world, or existence, is our ontological responsibility, which precedes political, judicial and moral responsibility.[10]

Kopić appears in Igor Ivanov Izi's 1995 film N.E.P.[11]
