ojtěch Bažant, Věra Soukupová, Martin Šorm (edd.) Pokusy opustit lidskou perspektivu mají v humanitních vědách a zejména v literární, kulturní a historické antropologii dlouhou tradici.

Vojtěch Kinter This book examines the relationship between the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche and Ladislav Klíma. The author is critical of Klíma’s popular label “Czech Nietzsche” which is at least conceptually anchored in scientific discourse about Klíma and explicitly used in a broader context. By criticizing the label, the author explores the extent of Nietzsche’s influence on Klíma […]
