The personal library of professor Stojanović, born in Kragujevac, was brought to University Library in Kragujevac in spring of 2011. Around 2800 books, newspapers and professional notes from Stojanović’s private library were handed in to the Library by means of the University of Kragujevac. The collection of monographic publications contains 2235 bibliographic units, which can be classified into two groups: books in Serbian (1413 books) and books in foreign languages (822 books). In terms of subject matter, the library covers a large area of science, and the greatest number of publications is professional literature from fields of philosophy, ethics, logic, sociology, anthropology, political sciences, history, religion, as well as numerous literary works of outstanding writers from Serbia and the world, then dictionaries, various encyclopedias, and also art publications. The time span of the published books goes from 1898 to 2010. Books of special value are those having dedication of the author (352 books), which professor Stojanović received from colleagues, contributors, worshippers, friends, and they include great names of literary and social and political scene of Serbia and the world, such as Dobrica Ćosić, Antonije Isaković, Nikša Stipčević, Matija Bećković, then Mihailo Marković, Ljubomir Tadić, Gajo Petrović, Aleks Dragnić, Đorđe Vid Tomašević, Kosta Čavoški, Jovan Aranđelović, Erih From (Erich Fromm), Jirgen Habermas (Jürgen Habermas) and others. Books with dedication are significant not only in terms of cultural and historical value and names of their authors, but also since they testify to socializing of Stojanović with those ones being largely familiar with cultural and historical heritage, who expressed respect for his work in their own works.
