%T A Hundred Years of the 'Czech Question' and The Czech Question a Hundred Years On %A Havelka, Miloš %J Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review %N 1 %P 7-19 %V 3 %D 1995 %K Pragmatics %= 2009-10-14T11:50:00Z %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-53701 %X Presents the debate between Tomas G. Masaryk & Czech politician Josef Kaizl about the problematic relationship between pragmatics & principles in politics. Masaryk's Ceska otazka(The Czech Question [1895]), which seeks reason & a particular sense of Czech national essence, represents one of the first & most influential attempts to structure the various semantic centers around which Czech political culture revolves. Subjecting Masaryk's religious-humanistic analysis of Czech history to a liberal-economic critique, Kaizl rejected Masaryk's reduced, theistic, & anti-Enlightenment interpretation of the national revival, as well as his explicitly antiliberalist grasp of Czech history. Kaizl also denied Masaryk's claim that spiritual life & spiritual independence are more pressing concerns than political life & state independence. %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
