Abstract

The essay characterizes the Czech question as an eternal topic for the Czech intellectual tradition. The discourse on the Czech question was established by an 1895 book of the same name by TomÃ¡Å¡ Masaryk, a philosopher and politician and the first president of Czechoslovakia. According to PatoÄka, Masaryk attempted to create a synthesis between Bolzanoâs concept of state patriotism founded primarily on the moral value of a nation and Josef Jungmannâs national and linguistic patriotism inspired by Herder and his ideas about the linguistic identity of nations. Masaryk returns to giants of the Czech National Revival like FrantiÅ¡ek PalackÃ½, who placed at the core of Czech history the divine element, which for him is humanity. The essay also discusses the disputes over the meaning of Czech history between Masaryk and Josef PekaÅ.
