Krátky popis
The Czech philosopher Jan Patocka not only witnessed some of the
most turbulent politics of twentieth-century Central Europe, but
shaped his philosophy in response to that tumult. One of the last
students of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, he inspired Václav
Havel and other dissidents who confronted the Communist regime
before 1989, as well as being actively involved in authoring and
enacting Charter 77. He died in 1977 from medical complications
resulting from interrogations of the secret police. Confronting
Totalitarian Minds examines his legacy along with several
contemporary applications of his ideas about dissidence,
solidarity, and the human beings existential confrontation with
unjust politics. Expanding the current possibilities of comparative
political theory, the author puts Patockas ideas about dissidence,
citizen mobilization, and civic responsibility into conversation
with notable world historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Vaclav
Havel, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and other contemporary activists. In
adding a fresh voice to contemporary conversations on transcending
injustice, Confronting Totalitarian Minds seeks to educate a wider
audience about this philosophers continued relevance to political
dissidents across the world.
