Women in the Family of F.L. Rieger and their Participation in the Public Sphere
Neudorflová, Marie
In second half of the 19th century the women from the Rieger's family were involved in voluntary and pioneering work related to establishing nursery schools, schools for girls, and various assistance to mothers from the lowest social strata. In the background of their work was very specific philosophy, the most important aspects being humanistic, demokratic and Christian principles. The source of this philosophy was the teaching of Bernard Bolzano, jesuit priest, permanently in conflict with the Church. His humanistic, moral and social ideas were influencing students of the Charles University and through his pupils, following generations, including women from the Rieger's family. This article focuses mostly on exposing major aspects of their social philosophy in a broader context.

Uniqueness of Czech Democratic Tradition
Neudorflová, Marie
Czech democratic tradition rooted in the 19th century, was intentionally cultivated since the 19th century by the Czech intellectuals, which resulted in deep rooted democratic political culture as well as an admirable level of political democracy during the first Czechoslovak Republic. Since the continuation of relevant "education" was several times brutally interrupted from outside by undemocratic and expantionist forces, it is necessary to consider the original sources of democratic values and methods of their cultivation as very relevant to the present.
