Sažetak
For a long time, from antiquity, through the middle ages and the renaissance until the modern age, philosophy and science have been inseparable. Moreover, philosophers have discussed abstract entities of the mind and changes in the natural world, metaphysical systems, and the study of nature. Many philosophers have made significant contributions to both philosophy and to the natural sciences. However, with the separation of natural sciences from philosophy and finally, in the 20th century, with the development of empirical sciences, it is noticeable that philosophy and other sciences are becoming more distant. Evan more, there is often a climate of mistrust and even opposition between philosophers and naturalists. In this sense, the question arises how to re-establish dialog between philosophy and other sciences? In this presentation, authors propose a solution in the so-called model of the dialogically open philosophy of two famous philosophers, theologians and even naturalists of middle ages, Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas. Namely, they also lived in a time of confrontations of different religions, cultures and worldviews. Namely, the confrontation between Greek rationality and Judeo- Christian and Islamic beliefs reshaped philosophical questioning and revealed new horizons and new perspectives, and reshaped Christian world itself. Therefore, it is necessary to have confidence in reason and turn to argumentative dialogue, between theology and philosophy and other sciences, between faith and reason. In these currents and differences, one should search for the truth and remain faithful only to the truth, no matter whom truth came from. Therefore, the primacy should be put on the truth, and this implies the so-called dialogical openness of all seekers of truth.
