Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This article discusses the political and religious views of the Czech philosopher and first president of Czechoslovakia, Tomáš G. Masaryk (18501937). First, the author describes the model of religiousness created by Masaryk and themes in his biography that fit into this model. Then, the article discusses the main thesis presented by T. G. Masaryk in an essay entitled The Main Principles of Humanitarian Ethics, which was a result of Masaryk’s own concept of “religion of humanitarianism”. It is based on such elements as the universal dimension of the Hussite and Czech Brethren (Protestant) reformation, on which the foundations of the Czech national identity were built; the abandonment of institutional religion (primarily Catholic) in favor of individual piety; and the rejection of the Christological dogma and replacing it with a highly individualized and historical Jesus.
