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.
Resistence | Protivenství
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
(-5 - +65)
Epistula LXXVIII.
Toto contra ille pugnet animo; vincetur, si cesserit, vincet, si se contra dolorem suum intenderit. Nunc hoc plerique faciunt, adtrahunt in se ruinam, cui obstandum est. Istud quod premit, quod inpendet, quod urget, si subducere te coeperis, sequetur et gravius incumbet; si contra steteris et obniti volueris, repelletur. …
[Let such a man fight against them with all his might: if he once gives way, he will be vanquished; but if he strives against his sufferings, he will conquer. As it is, however, what most men do is to drag down upon their own heads a falling ruin which they ought to try to support. If you begin to withdraw your support from that which thrusts toward you and totters and is ready to plunge, it will follow you and lean more heavily upon you; but if you hold your ground and make up your mind to push against it, it will be forced back. …]

Dar a obdarovaný
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
(60)
Itaque dum incipit esse mentis tuae, interim hoc consilio sapientium utere, ut magis ad rem existimes pertinere, quis, quam quid acceperit.
(6307, Ad Lucilium epistulae morales I, Cambridge Mass. + London1979, LIX, p. 132.)
Therefore, while you are beginning to call your mind your own, meantime apply this maxim of the wise: consider that it is more important who receives a thing, than what it is he receives.

Platón
(~370 př. n. l.)
Uvažujme. Hned na první pohled podobá se uměřenost více než dřívější vlastnosti jakémusi souzvuku a harmonii.
Jak to?
Uměřenost, děl jsem, jest jakýsi řád a jakési sebeovládání v rozkoších a žádostech; člověk se vskutku jeví, jak říkají, jaksi silnějším sám sebe a mluví se i o všelikých jiných takových jakoby jejich stopách. Pravda?
Zcela jistě.
A není to „silnějším sám sebe“ komické? Neboť kdo jest sám sebe silnější, musil by přece býti i slabším sám sebe a slabší silnějšímu; vždyť ve všech těchto rčeních se mluví o témž člověku.
Ovšem.
Ale, děl jsem, smysl těchto slov zdá se mi býti ten, že jest v člověku po stránce duševní jednak cosi lepšího, jednak cosi horšího, a kdykoli to lepší svou přirozenou povahou vládne tím horším, o tom se říká „silnější sám sebe“ – jest v tom jistě chvála – kdykoli však působením špatného vychování nebo nějakých styků jest to lepší v menšině a jest ovládnuto od přesily toho horšího, to se s pohanou kárá a člověk, který jest v takovém stavu, bývá nazýván slabochem a nevázaným.
