Metoděj Habáň, OP in the Years 1945-1970: A Czech Neo-Thomistic Philosopher Vis-a-Vis Communism

Original language description

This article focuses the life of the czech Dominican priest and philosopher Metoděj (Methodius) Petr Habáň OP (1899-1984) in the period after World War II. In particular, it focuses on those aspects of his life that are closely related to the czechoslovakian communist regime, with special attention to Habáň&apos;s persecution and imprisonment in the 1950s and involvement in the christian-Marxist dialogue in the 1960s. We try to illustrate how Habáň&apos;s relationship with the regimewas influenced by his philosophical and political anchoring and point at the limits and compromises he was forced and willing to accept. While discussing christian-Marxist dialogue, we seek to portray Habáň&apos;s position in the midst of a changing social context. In a situation in which Marxism changed towards its reformist and humanist form and christian theology sought a new position and a new relationship to modern secularism, Habáň remained faithful to his theological and philosophical foundations formed by the Thomistic school of thought.
