1989: The Triumph of Truth and the Burial of Philosophy

Original language description

This article investigates the development of critical thought in Czechoslovakia before and after the revolution of 1989, attempting to understand why the generation of radical critics from before 1989 became relatively docile and willing to submit quietly to authority after the revolution. The article places special emphasis on the paradoxical conceptualization of politics as something both irredeemable and inexpendable, both dirty and sacred. Through this analysis, the author argues that critical philosophy was gradually substituted over this period with a notion of immutable “truth” that was supposed to accepted and defended against critics.
