Robert Kalivoda: Christian Chiliasm and the Idea of the Historical Emancipation of the Human Being
Original language description
The chapter presents Calivod's conception of human emancipation as a gradual secularization of Christian ideas of God's reign on earth. According to Kalivoda, the historicisation of Christian eschatology and the subordination of church and society to the ideal standards of God's kingdom on earth crystallised in medieval heresy and reached its first peak in the Hussite revolution. This was the first successful reformation and led to the establishment of the first regime of religious tolerance in Christian Europe. In addition to the emergence of religious tolerance, the Hussite Revolution also resulted in political progress - the political emancipation of the bourgeoisie and the lower nobility and the establishment of the Estates State. This historical development documents a more general principle according to which values originally attributed to the supernal world, such as the belief in the equality of human beings and in the irrevocable freedom and dignity of each individual, gradually asserted themselves in the earthly life of men.
