This interview with the Czech philosopher Ladislav Hejdánek provides a profound insight into his thoughts on the relationship between philosophy, literature, and religion. Hejdánek criticizes the contemporary decline of conceptual rigor and rejects attempts to poeticize philosophy, maintaining that authentic thinking requires disciplined work with concepts. The text explores the phenomenon of faith, which Hejdánek, drawing on Hebrew tradition, interprets not as intellectual consent to dogmas, but as an active orientation toward the future and an openness to truth. Discussing the Bible, he emphasizes its role as a record of humanity's spiritual struggle, irreducible to mere philology. Furthermore, Hejdánek challenges metaphysical dogmatism and scientific reductionism, advocating for a teleological understanding of reality. Finally, he rejects myths of resurrection and reincarnation as expressions of egocentrism, instead emphasizing the ethical dimension of life as a responsibility and a debt toward future generations.
