| Description | The legacy of I. A. Bláha – one of the founding fathers of Czechoslovak sociology – displays a unique significance when inserted in a three-layered historical context: (1) the modernist fleur of interwar Brno, (2) the modernist layer in the foundations of the new Czechoslovak state, and (3) the basic principles of cultural modernism in general. This perspective makes it possible to fully appreciate Bláha’s intellectual input in promoting sociology as a viable scientific discipline. And it also sheds light upon the cultural matrix in which the discipline found its firm intellectual footing. |
