The philosopher and theologian, Samuel Stefan Osusky (1888 -1975), who was an exceptional personality among the anti-philosophically oriented protestant theologians, underlined the importance of the rational attitude in the philosophical investigations of the fundamental problems. His researches in the history of philosophy (including Slovak philosophy) were continuous: he was a sort of a 'founding father' of this discipline in Slovakia. His study of rich original sources, in which the method applied was that of positivism, resulted in publication of several articles and books devoted to the intellectual situation in Slovakia from 16th to 19th century, in particular to 'national idealism': 'Filozofia sturovcov' (The Philosophy of Stur and His Followers; 1928 1932), as well as his 'Prve slovenske dejiny filozofie' (The First Slovak History of Philosophy; 1939), the first and path-breaking book in this field in Slovakia.
The leitmotif of the paper is the theistic negation of Hegel’s philosophy in the work of the Slovak thinker – Samo Bohdan Hroboň. In this context, the author also comments on some methodological issues in the research of the history of Slovak philosophy at present emphasising mainly the receptive character of Slovak philosophy, including the work of S. B. Hroboň. Hroboň’s work includes – according to the author – three types of reception of Hegel’s philosophy: 1. Literal adoption of the text, 2. reconstruction of the adopted text, 3. domestication of the adopted text. The article exemplifies the fact that the philosophical work of S. B. Hroboň is represented by ideological continuity and discontinuity, synchrony and diachrony, variability and invariance, receptivity as well as application specificity. In conclusion, the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the history of Slovak philosophy, including the work of S. B. Hroboň, is justified.
The paper offers a description on the second project (after the publication of 10 volumes of 'Philosophical Anthology' 1965 - 1977) of the translations of the books of influential philosophers into the Slovak. The project has been carried out in the time of strict political normalization and neodogmatism. In spite of the political conditions the editors managed to publish 20 volumes of classical philosophy, 10 volumes of the Western philosophy of that time and 16 volumes of Marxist philosophy. The impact of the project was far-reaching. First of all, it offered a support to Slovak philosophy, which at that time was on its progressive way to the status of an academic discipline.
The article deals with the researches in recent history of Slovak philosophy as they were accomplished by the Department of philosophy and the history of philosophy (Philosophical faculty, Comenius University) in 1940-1980. Among the main issues belong: system of teaching philosophy and making the public familiar with philosophy; Bratislava Philosophical School, patterns and transformations of Slovak philosophy in the 20th century etc.
Jan Patocka outlined the basic principles of his phenomenology in the 60ies, when a possibility appeared for him to publish them in Slovakia. He influenced the Slovak philosophy by his contributions on the history of Czech philosophy, by his critical evaluation of the philosophy of Czech history (especially that of Masaryk), as well as by developing his double concept of nation in Czech tradition (the language-cultural and social-ethical ones). Also in his outlines of Czech philosophy he occasionally reviewed the writings of Slovak philosophers. In the interpreting of philosophy of 'small nations' his concept of 'marginal philosophy' might be inspiring.
The article underlines the importance of the study of the school philosophy in the 19th century Hungary. The school philosophy is conceived not only as a part of educational system, but also as the existential basis in the making of national philosophies in Hungary, especially the Hungarian and Slovak ones. Also two different approaches are discussed to making and development of Slovak and Hungarian philosophies as formulated by O. Mészáros and V. Bakoš.
The article sheds light on the reception of Hegel’s philosophy in Hungarian and Slovak philosophical thought of the 19th century. It tries to answer the question: Why the canonizations of Hegel in these two philosophical milieus differ? The canonization itself is rendered as a process and result of controversial coaction of subversive doings of the respective national subjects as well as the protecting interventions of political power. Two arguments, which have as yet been omitted, are offered in support of this thesis: (1) reception of Hegel in the Monarchy, i.e. also in Hungary, has been in the 19th century strongly determined by the established cultural and teaching politics, which (especially in the second half of the 19th century) preferred Herbart’s philosophy rejecting at the same time Hegel’s ideas. (2) Hegel’s system became in Hungarian as well as in Slovak philosophy closely connected with the respective conceptions of national philosophy. It was the character of these national philosophies that influenced the reception of other ideas including those of Hegel.
