LADISLAV HEJDÁNEK ARCHIVES | Cardfile

Here you will find a digitized image of Hejdánek's original filing cabinet. Its total volume is many thousand tickets. We publish them in parts as we handle them. At the moment we have worked out what prof. Hejdánek himself developed electronically. However, much work remains on paper cards. In addition to Hejdánek's extracts from reading, the filing cabinet also includes his own thought work from recent years, which cannot be found elsewhere.

Filozof Hejdánek slaví významné jubileum
Přední český filozof, esejista, publicista a jeden z představitelů protikomunistického disentu Ladislav Hejdánek se ve svých dílech věnuje převážně vztahu mezi filozofií a teologií. Někdejší mluvčí Charty 77 a organizátor bytových seminářů, jemuž byl před listopadem 1989 na dlouhých 20 let odepřen přístup na akademickou půdu a znemožněna veřejná činnost, oslaví ve čtvrtek 80. narozeniny. Profesor Hejdánek se vždy hlásil k tradici českého myšlení ztělesněné T. G. Masarykem či Emanuelem Rádlem, jakožto Patočkův žák také k fenomenologické inspiraci, ačkoli fenomenologii chápal jako metodicky poněkud svazující. Přiznával se ke svému evangelictví či spíše protestantismu ve smyslu stálého odporu vůči všem formám náboženství, ba co více, zbožnosti.

Hartshorne, Charles

www (2005)
Charles Hartshorne is considered by many philosophers to be one of the most important philosophers of religion and metaphysicians of the twentieth century. Although Hartshorne often criticized the metaphysics of substance found in medieval philosophy, he was very much like medieval thinkers in developing a philosophy that was theocentric. Throughout his career he defended the rationality of theism and for several decades was almost alone in doing so among English-language philosophers. Hartshorne was also one of the thinkers responsible for the rediscovery of St. Anselm's ontological argument. But his most influential contribution to philosophical theism did not concern arguments for the existence of God, but rather was related to a theory of the actuality of God, i.e., how God exists. In traditional or classical theism, God was seen as the supreme, unchanging being, but in Hartshorne's process-based or neoclassical conception, God is seen as supreme becoming in which there is a factor of supreme being. That is, we humans become for a while, whereas God always becomes, Hartshorne maintains. The neoclassical view of Hartshorne has influenced the way many philosophers understand the concept of God. In fact, a small number of scholars—some philosophers and some theologians—think of him as the greatest metaphysician of the second half of the twentieth century, yet, with a few exceptions to be treated below, his work has not been very influential among analytic philosophers who are theists.
