Čeští sociologové v počátcích slovenské sociologie

Czech Sociologists in the Beginnings of Slovak Sociology. The author analyses institutional beginning of Slovak sociology, which was very much influenced by Czech scholars. Earlier, somewhat amateur attempts at establishing a particular Slovak sociological tradition, associated mainly with Ján Lajčiak, were singularly unsuccessful, while members of the so-called Hlas movement (“Hlasists”), who followed Masaryk in the pre-First World War period, preferred politics to academic sociology in the interwar yea…

Architektura omezení. Středoevropské protestantské kostely v éře protireformace v komparativní perspektivě I.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Counter-Reformation in the Central European Hapsburg lands led to the full prohibition (Bohemia, Moravia, Alpine lands) or to the wide restriction (Silesia, Hungary) of Protestantism, which included the confiscations of Protestant churches and the imposition of legal restrictions on the construction of new ones. Four types of such "restricted churches" should be identified: (1) Silesian "Churches of Peace", built after the Thirty Years' War, (2) Hungarian "articular" chur…

Religion: An Unsolved Problem for Modern Czech Nation

The Czech Republic is widely known as the least religious country in the world and most Czechs are quite proud of that fact. The authors, however, challenge both of these characteristics. Czechs might better be considered unchurched than atheist, with various forms of modern New Age spirituality steadily gaining in popularity. Moreover, their reputation for irreligiosity is somewhat questionable, since it is most often based upon communist (and other more historically deep-rooted) anticlerical notions, while p…

"V žáru lásky se život započal - v žáru ohně se končí." Čtyři pohledy na vývoj kremačního hnutí v české společnosti

The authors analyse the following mutually reliant but, at least as far as Czech society is concerned, not always directly dependent aspects of the cremation movement in the 20th century: the growth in and impact of pro-cremation propaganda, the establishment of new crematoria, the spread in the popularity of cremation as a method of disposal throughout society and changes in the rituals associated with it. Contemporary Czech society has (one of) the highest cremation rates in Europe, a fact which is connected…

Invisible Religion in a "Non-believing" Country: The Case of the Czech Republic

The authors analyze contemporary ir/religiosity in the Czech Republic using data from national censuses, international surveys, and a specialized national survey of religion from 2006. They show that the influence of the socio-demographic characteristics on respondents’ religiosity, both traditional and alternative, exists but is weak. Religious socialization in the childhood seems to be a more important factor. They further show that the out-of-church movement was established early in the country’s histor…
