The Conference is dedicated to problematics concerning Czech society, its past and present. We would like to commemorate Jan Patočka, a spokesperson for Charter 77, the 40th anniversary of whose death occurs this year. We would like to talk about the concept of Middle Europe, the Czech lands’ cultural heritage, famous Czechs, Czech literature. Our reference points will be problematics of history and natural world, as well as the concepts of Europe, the nation, civilisation and war, all of which were contemplated by Patočka in his books and essays.
