This lecture delves into profound ethical questions within the context of Czech intellectual tradition, particularly referencing the works of T. G. Masaryk, Emanuel Rádl, and Josef Hromádka. The author builds upon Masaryk's conception of ethics as a holistic response to life's situations and Rádl's reinterpretation of truth as that which is simultaneously true, right, and pious. The text critically examines modern Western thought, which tends to reduce reality to "positively given" objects, thereby, according to the author, impoverishing human beings of a fundamental dimension of their existence. This loss is linked to nihilism, whose roots the author places deeper than just the modern era. Special attention is given to Nietzsche's analysis of nihilism and its connection to Christianity. The author polemicizes with the traditional concept of faith in "something" and proposes an alternative in the form of "non-objective faith," which does not rely on predetermined meanings or values but responds to "non-objective" challenges coming from the future. In conclusion, the lecture returns to the structure of the human situation, encompassing the subject, its environment, and activities, emphasizing the situation's openness to the future, which is not determined by causality but by active response to what is arriving. The aim is to reintegrate the lost dimension into human life and to reorient moral action as a response to these future challenges. The lecture connects this to the Czech tradition, seeking to revitalize its insights for contemporary philosophical thought.
