Historical Bloc and Revolution: The Radical Democratic Interpretation of the Prague Spring of 1968

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter explores a question, as to whether Prague Spring of 1968 constituted a revolt, a reform, a revolution, or even a counterrevolution. First, the term “radical democracy” is clarified, in order to elucidate what exactly radical democratic interpretation of the Prague Spring could mean. Then, focusing on Karel Kosík’s particular version of such interpretation, it deals with a question: What types of events can be regarded as “social revolutions”? Third, Kosík’s theory of revolution as well as his phenomenology of revolutionary consciousness is briefly outlined, in order to answer the question: How did revolt from below took shape during the Prague Spring? According to Kosík’s diagnosis the events exposed a political crisis, manifesting—in turn—a much deeper crisis, namely the crisis of politics as such. As a follow-up, I argue that for Kosík this double crisis sparked the politicization of the common citizens and contributed to isolated social groupings gradually growing closer to each other. This was the critical moment in forming a new alliance—a historical bloc—and a new collective subject.
