| Description | Masaryk dealt with the character and work of Jan Hus in his book Jan Hus (1896), and in a number of papers, publicist presentations and speeches. Yet he never put his mind to the past (and thus not even to Jan Hus) for historys sake. On the contrary, he was interested in it always when he by way of his (often peculiar) interpretations of it could speak to the present. Hus represented for Masaryk 1. a religious thinker and reformer; 2. an important personage in his philosophy of the Czech history; 3. a part of the political struggles Masaryk lead for emancipation of the Czech nation. |
