| Description | In 1923 a Czech philosopher and mathematician Karel Vorovka (1879, 1929) took the initiative of the philosopher from Zagreb, V. Dvorniković, and as a co-editor of Ruch filozofický, as well as a member of the provisional preparatory committee since the Fifth Philosophical Congress in Naples (1924), personally advocated the organization of a Pan-Slavonic Philosophical Congress in Prague. The initial interest of the positivistic group around Česká mysl (František Krejčí) and Filozofická jednota (Emanuel Rádl) in the organization of the congress disappeared already in 1925. Despite of Vorovkas several years effort, supported also by the Slavonic delegates of the Polish Philosophical Congress in Warsaw (1927), the project failed to take place. The paper focuses on Vorovkas plans, hopes for an early congress union and his disappointment caused by the failure. |
