The Czech Republic and the Problem of Freedom of Europe in the European Union
Bednář, Miloslav
In a flagrant contrast with traditional directions of the modern Czech statehood and its politics, the EU emphasizes its allegedly irreplaceable Euroopean identity in an evident opposition to the U.S. by its obsolete stress on so called European Social Model which means, first of all, a centrally distributed socialist management, supplementing civic liberties by the rule of commanding bureucratic control and administration.

Masaryk's Philosophical and Political Challenge to Present and Future
Bednář, Miloslav
Globalization and globality are in the light of Masaryk's thought phenomena understandable from democratical and non-ideological points of view. On the other hand, the lasting significance of Masaryk's philosophy of religion as a concept of life-world in terms of democratic view of life seems to be all the more valid showing the present neo-Marxists ideologies unteneable.

Vorovka's Concept of Masaryk's Philosophy
Bednář, Miloslav
Karel Vorovka's theoretical starting point shifted from a strict rejection of philosophical interference with science to a more conciliatory position - however, it is still insuficient since it approaches philosophy from outside.

The Significance of Palacký's Philosophical Renewal of theIdea of Czech Statehood
Bednář, Miloslav
The Idea of Czech statehood created on its Hussite stage an elementary and rudimentary form of humanitist Idea. This Idea, however, prevailed later in its considerably deficient Franco-German version of continental European liberalism on the European scale after 1848. Palacký as the leading Czech historian, philosopher and politician of the 19th century strained after an Austrian takeover of the key principle which represents the Idea of Czech statehood. This principle consists in morally anchored recognition of plurality as an alternative option to the impass of materialist and power-uniform liberalism.
