медитативним записима (Знакови поред пута и Свеске) који имају за свој
предмет природно, морално, социјално и метафизичко (трансцендентно) зло
у човеку, животу и свету. Та места с руба опуса стоје у нужној вези с матичним токовима Андрићевог дела, као и са неким филозофским и теолошким
учењима. Изразит песимизам Андрићевих исповедних бележака бива, међутим, ублажен или чак и превладан њиховом повременом креативном, поетском висином, коју тумачимо као својеврсну победу над злом и бесмислом
постојања, The paper examines Ivo Andrić’s statements about evil in the
peripheral segments of his opus, in Signs by the Roadside and Notebooks.
The meditative writing is analyzed as part of his work as well as in relation
to a choice of similar statements ranging from Epictetus and Marc Aurelius
to Émil Cioran and Georges Batailles. Using categorical distinctions applied
by philosophers and theologists, the author of the paper differentiates among
natural, moral, social and metaphysical (transcendental) evil in Andrić’s
thoughts and observations. One of the article’s most important conclusions
indicates a paradoxical connection between good and evil, since, according to
Andrić, some people choose vice “in order to become complete”. Even more
surprising is Andrić’s belief that it is not strong hatreds and serious crimes
what makes our life impossible, but “the evil committed by the ordinary
people every day, unnoticed, propelled by their ordinary human traits, often
human virtues”. Andrić’s striking pessimism, often shown both as a desire to
escape into the “freedom of inexistence” and an awareness about “nonsense
and worthlessness of human enterprises and efforts”, seems to be softened,
and even defeated, rather indirectly than decisively, by the artistic excellence
of his meditative notes, although aesthetic norm might not be their priority.",
