| Description | The most fundamental problem of Czech philosophy of the 1960s was the concept of man. Czech culture, film, theater and especially belles-lettres had been focusing on the existential problems of man since the 1950s, showing man as a complex personality irreducible to one dimension, and portraying substantial moments of human existence, such as grotesquerie, tragedy, laughter, absurdity, death, conscience, moral responsibility, body and carnality. As a result, they subsequently became an interpretative fundament for Czech philosophy. Jan Patočka, Karel Kosík and other Czech philosophers challenged the official portrayal of man and epoch with a different view of these concepts. |
