Ruđer Bošković

(Dubrovnik, 18 May 1711 – Milano, 13 February 1787) It would be difficult to find a person who better synthesized philosophical, theological and scientific education, as is the case with Ruđer Bošković. With his theory of a single unified law of forces that exist in nature, this renowned Ragusan, Jesuit, scientist and natural philosopher anticipated the entire 20th and 21st century physics as a natural science. His thesis on elementary particles still has its confirmation to this day. Sir Harold Hartley, the physical chemist considered Bošković “one of the greatest intellectuals of all time,” while philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche considered Bošković’s theory “the greatest triumph over the senses that has hitherto been gained on earth.”

(Slano, 23 April 1590 – Naples, 4 August 1667) This peculiar Dominican from Dubrovnik had a “tension-filled biography.” He was born in the fishing village of Slano near Dubrovnik, in the Piranese family and he joined the novitiate of the Dominican monastery in Dubrovnik as Đuro Piranese. He was educated in Spain where he became the master of philosophy and theology. He worked in Rome and Naples as a professor, as a priest in the Spanish navy and a missionary in Japan.
