Faculty of Philosophy, Niš 
Abstract. Among the philosophical works of Gligorije Zaječaranović the most distinguished place is taken by the papers dealing with the introduction to philosophy. They are written on the basis of the most important works dealing with the issue whose authors are domestic and foreign philosophers; besides, they are the product of many years of pedagogical experience Zaječaranović has acquired in the philosophical education of university students. He has written a number of introductions to philosophy of systematic-problematic and systematic-historical introduction to philosophy as a whole as well as to some of its parts. The greatest number of papers and books has been devoted to the introduction to the philosophy of Marxism and the Marxist philosophy; that is why he can be considered the most fruitful author of this kind of writing in Yugoslavia or even abroad.
As a Marxist, dialectic and creative thinker, Zaječaranović has not only had a critical attitude towards the Marxist philosophy as well as to contemporary civil philosophy; he has also cherished such an attitude towards social reality that these philosophies spring from and to which they address themselves as its mental reflections. His opinion is that the Marxist-dialectical view of the world should be ideological-theoretical, methodological and value orientation of the organized forces of the society in the process of making the world more humane and of supporting the self-realization of man; thus, in his introductions to philosophy he has tried to make such a philosophical view of the world more accessible to university students as well as to other citizens.
Key words:  Philosophy, Philosophy of Philosophy, Meta-philosophy, Types and Kinds of Introduction to Philosophy, Philosophy of Marxism, Marxist Philosophy, View of the World 
UVOĐENJE U FILOZOFIJU G. ZAJEČARANOVIĆA
U filozofskom opusu Gligorija Zaječaranovića najznačajnije mesto imaju radovi koji se bave uvođenjem u filozofiju. Oni su pisani na osnovu najznačajnijih dela ove vrste stranih i naših autora i višegodišnjeg pedagoškog iskustva Zaječaranovića u filozofskom obrazovanju studenata. Napisao je više uvoda u filozofiju sistematsko-problemskog i sistematsko-istorijskog usmerenja u filozofiju kao celinu i pojedine delove filozofije. Najveći broj radova i knjiga posvećen je uvođenju u filozofiju marksizma i marksističku filozofiju pa se može smatrati najplodnijim filozofskim piscem ove vrste u Jugoslaviji pa i van nje.
Kao marksistički, dijalektički i kreativni mislilac Zaječaranović je imao kritički stav kako prema marksističkoj tako i prema savremenoj građanskoj filozofiji ali i društvenoj stvarnosti iz koje su te filozofije proizilazile i kojoj su se obraćale kao njihove umne refleksije. Smatrao je da marksistički dijalektički pogled na svet treba da bude idejno-teorijska, metodološka i vrednosna orijentacija organizovanih snaga društva u humanizaciji sveta i samorealizaciji čoveka pa je svojim uvodima u filozofiju nastojao da takav filozofski pogled na svet učini dostupnim akademskim ali i drugim građanima.
