Presentation of FFDI

The University of Zagreb was originally established by the Society of Jesus, but the order was disbanded in 1773. With the reestablishemnt of the order, a new study of philosophy was established in Zagreb in 1920 for the order members, in 1937 becoming the Institute of Philosophy, recognized by other Catholic faculties. Known since 1953 as Philosophical and Theological Institute of the Society of Jesus, it is entirely separated from civil studies in the country. It was affiliated to the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 1983. In 1989 the Congregation for Catholic Education established from it the current Faculty, as a faculty established by and dependant from the Holy See, belonging to the Croatian Province of the Society of Jesus. Today, the Faculty programs are included within the University Centre for Croatian Studies.
