Pavo Barišić (born 9 September 1959) is a Croatian philosopher and politician who served as the Minister of Science and Education in the Cabinet of Andrej Plenković from 19 October 2016 until 9 June 2017.

[2] His mandate ended on 9 June 2017, when the government coalition was reshuffled and his Ministry of Science and Education was entrusted to the Croatian People's Party.

According to the coalition agreement, Barišić was offered the position of a minister at the Ministry of Labour and Pension System in exchange, which he declined.

In focus of its reconsideration is the concept of the world as ethos of the man, his whereabouts, abode, domicile, home, ecumene, the inhabited earth.

Through this comparison, the ambiguous and dialectical nature of Hegel's view emerges into the broad daylight: "He has proved that the western spiritual life has attained its ripeness.

"[12] The main question is whether the ethical ideal of humanity could be applied as a philosophical basis for the evaluation and justification of democratic practices.

Dewey does not destroy the foundations of liberalism and democracy by emphasising the substantial communication-community-common connection, but rather enriches, strengthens, and takes the same to a higher level.

Barišić elaborates five arguments of Aristotle's in favour of the democratic deliberation of the multitude: political, ethical, dianoetic, teleological, and collective responsibility.

[14] In his book The Ideal of the Rule of the People, Barišić reconsiders certain significant stations of the historical sailing of the ship of democracy.

"[15] The book on Cosmopolitan Democracy, edited with Henning Ottmann, rounds out their trilogy on the contemporary issues of the “rule by the people”.

[16] On the other hand, he argues for the unique historical project of the European Union as one of the successful attempts to transfer the content of human rights protection on the transnational level.
