Abstract

Funda considers Masarykâs philosophy of the meaning of Czech history from the position of Popperâs later critique of all historicism and messianism, be it the Abrahamic messianism of Godâs chosen people, the culmination of history in Christian eschatology, or the secularised fiction of historyâs happy ending touted mainly by totalitarian regimes. Although Funda himself admits that one may speak of a certain intended direction of short historical periods, he understands history and human life as a movement, a process of events: they are a complexity of complementary components in correlation, continuity, and context.
