The name of academician Miomir Dašić, according to Dr. Radenko Šćekić, is at the very top of Montenegrin and Yugoslav historiography.
"He was always clearly committed to the truth about what happened, in contrast to those who were closer to the 'desirable' pragmatic history and historiography that was viewed and created from the perspective of the present and the current political moment. According to his understanding of history, which is unimaginable without great erudition and broad culture, according to the way he expressed that understanding, it is difficult to find equals in recent Montenegrin and Yugoslav historiography", said Šćekić at a round table at the Faculty of Philosophy in Nikšić.
The round table was organized on the occasion of 85 years of life and six decades of scientific work of retired academician and regular university professor Miomir Dašić.
Dašić, Prof. Dr. Šerbo Rastoder pointed out, was the first author of textbooks on historical science in 1978 and a man who "struck the foundation of the historical craft and in that sense made an immeasurable contribution."
"He maximally synthesized all the knowledge in the history textbook, which students used for a long time as a basis for studying this subject," said Rastoder.
Prof. Dr. Živko Andrijašević said that the fact that his students are talking about Dašić's part is a sign that the tradition of historical science is beginning to live in Montenegro.
"We are talking about a man who played one of the main, if not the most important, roles in the profiling and development of the study program for history at the Faculty of Philosophy," Andrijašević pointed out.
According to Prof. Nada Tomović, Ph.D., in his rich scientific opus, Dašić dealt with numerous questions from history, putting his native history in the foreground.
"However, all events from native history were studied and observed as part of general European historical processes, because local history cannot realistically be studied independently of the wider environment," said Tomović.
Dašić, who has been a member of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts since 1991, graduated, master's and doctorate at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. In six decades of scientific work, he published 12 books, about 270 studies, discussions, articles and historical essays, about 420 critical reviews, reviews, polemics, more than 130 scientific and professional reports and announcements, and the bibliography of his works has 830 items. He was elected associate professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Nikšić in 1981, and four years later he became a full professor. He was awarded the Order of the Republic of Yugoslavia, the medal of the Russian Academy of Natural and Social Sciences, of which he became a foreign member in 1998, as well as the medal of the University of Krakow.
