Abstract
The year 1945 was presented as a zero point from which should emerge a better and fairer world. With memories of the economic crisis in the 30s, when the impoverishment of masses and its ignoring led ultimately to the adherence to various forms of populist fascism, the attention was concentrated on social issues.
In connection with this, in a new light revealed the different projects of the society, of which the most recent appeared just project Marxist and Christian, adapted and updated in line with the latest social and economic events, and just those represented both direct and indirect sources of inspiration for the building of modern post-war social States. In the postwar period, in many European countries, Marxist and Christian social teachings clashed in the face.
It is surprising to a large extent how both social learning match, whether it was about the reasons for rejecting the capitalist system, or proposals to address social issues. However, each on its own - not too surprisingly - claimed that the latter doctrine is outdated and that the social issue is not resolved, each of which conceptualized by its own model ideally organized society and how this ideal society occur.
The Czechoslovak case is very interesting to capture those discussions, for example on Horizons magazine, which was the best-selling magazine intellectual orientation in close postwar Czechoslovakia. There are reflected both political and economic measures people's democratic state in relation to a social issue, and politics of the Communist Party, while there are formulated concrete vision of Christian social doctrine.
Now compared presentation vision better and fairer society, analyzing the similarities and differences between the two doctrines in relation to the aforementioned issues, their mutual merging and defining public discourse in Czechoslovakia shortly after the war deals with this topic.
