Research areas:

sustainable development and the new models of existence.

Intellectual profile:

In general, she is interested in the new self-interpretation of man. Making the delimitations of ap-proach visible means to grab the chance, by which today’s mind can—some later—live its way to the putative entireness as strangulation instead of freedom. The peril of the unsustainable exis-tence comes—as Major thinks—from the deviation of mind. Today in her opinion only one of the faces of the world is visible, the one which is well known by the mirror of human consciousness. However, she trusts that by the innovation of existence the Intelligent Nature can be reinstated in the multidimensional pulsation of the Universe. Her hope for transformability of the intellectual field keeps her motivated to go on with her work.

Major publications:

Prinudno sletanje (Zadužbina Andrejević, Beograd, 2001)
