This document explores the concept of plebeianism, arguing that it can only be tolerated as an inherent state but never accepted as a deliberate style or ideological program. The author asserts that plebeianism is something to be perpetually overcome and eliminated rather than approved or promoted. Chivalry, or in modern terms, gentlemanship, is presented as the direct antithesis to plebeianism. The text highlights the linguistic connection in Czech between the words for 'noble' and 'noble-minded', emphasizing the moral dimension of true nobility. A crucial distinction is made between 'plebeian' and 'popular'. Although the Latin 'plebs' originally referred to the common people, the author argues that being plebeian is not synonymous with being folk-like or of the people. Plebeianism is viewed as a deficiency that must be cultivated toward the higher ideals of nobility and honorable conduct characteristic of a gentleman. This philosophical reflection encourages constant self-improvement and the rejection of the lowliness often associated with a plebeian worldview, advocating instead for a life guided by principles of moral excellence.
