Abstrakt
The text is a short introduction to the issue of individualism as it was conceived by several leading Czechoslovak thinkers. The typically ambivalent attitude is first shown in the figure of Tomáš G.
Masaryk and is subsequently supplemented by the insight of F. Peroutka, who took a much more welcoming attitude to the idea of the development of individuality.
These two prominent intellectuals thus prove the thesis that philosophy in the Czech environment was generally affected by a suspicious approach to individuality much more than elsewhere in Europe. The second part of the text presents the individual papers and briefly outlines the contribution of each philosopher to ithe ndividualistic thought.
