On the Rádl – Masaryk Relationship
Pauza, Miroslav
We could describe the relation of Rádl to Masaryk like an attempt to speculate independently about theoretic suggestions of Masaryk. There are also important differences between their conceptions of idias. They differ in their outlook on Hume´s skepticism, in the conception of the human role in the history, in the approach to the relation of Czechs and Germans, nation, nationality and state.

Originality of Science and the Issue of Plagiarism. Three Contribution by E. Rádl from the years 1902-1911 on Language Issues in Science
Hermann, Tomáš
Subject of the contribution includes selected publicistical and polemical outputs of biologist and philosopher Emanuel Rádl (1873-1942) from two decades before the First World War, which touch upon the issues of national language in science: 1. In a small replica from 1902, R. Fick, a professor from Leipzig, was interested in the general issue of the meaning of science being accomplished in the national languages of small nations. 2. In a longer, idependent essay from 1910 on the nature of Czech natural sciences, Rádl reacted to the general accusation that Czech science lacked originality and plagiarized the German model. 3. At the same time, Rádl himself headed directly into the heart of the Czech scientific community, accusing his colleague, botanist K. Domin, of plagiarism. The following furious controversy affected a part of the natural sciences community. The biographical circumstances related to one individual show one type deliberation of the time on the language issue in science.

Project of asubjective phenomenology of Jan Patočka. Contribution to European philosophy from the period of 'normalization'
Hermann, Tomáš
Contribution from the conference, revised into an extensive study. In a synthetic manner it evaluates the philosophical development of Czech thinker Jan Patočka (1907-1977), culminating in the period of normalization with the philosophical project "asubjective phenomenology". The study on the one side follows the origin, character and uniqueness of this project in connection with European phenomenologically oriented philosophy of the 20th century. On the other hand, it notices the significance of Patočka's professional and pedagogical work for Czech education in the period of political restriction, as one of the centers of continuity of Czech independent thinking. As part the study, Patočka's newly discovered correspondence with Czech publisher František Laichter, incorporating the period from the 1930s to the 1970s, is evaluated for the first time.
