The courage to be free
Book-length interview with leading Czech philosopher Jan Sokol
Is freedom a boundless plain where you can do whatever you want? How do politics and religion relate to each other? And what does it mean to be a member of civil society? Philosophy has always asked countless questions – and Jan Sokol's life was no different.
Set off across 16 chapters to explore the life and thoughts of an acclaimed philosopher and university pedagogue, who ponders the great themes of our civilisation with the ease and precision of a goldsmith.
Jan Sokol
Jan Sokol (born 1936, Prague) is an eminent contemporary Czech Christian intellectual. He focuses mainly on philosophical anthropology, the history of religion, and the anthropology of institutions. He lectures at Czech and foreign universities. He was the first dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University.
He collaborated on the ecumenical translation of the Bible, translated numerous books, particularly of a philosophical nature, and published in many journals.
From 1991, he lectured on philosophy, anthropology, and religious studies at the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Arts at Charles University, and from 2000 at the Faculty of Humanities. In May 1993, he defended his master's thesis "Man and the World through the Eyes of the Bible", in March 1994, he obtained his PhD (CSc.) with "Meister Eckhart and Medieval Mysticism", and in April 1995, a doctoral degree for his work "A Small Philosophy of Man". In February 1997, he was appointed Associate Professor of Philosophy (thesis: "Time and Rhythm") and, from 2000 to 2007, he served as Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University.
