The article deals with internal critical reflections of the first Czechoslovak republic’s democratic practice. It starts with T. G. Masaryk’s understanding of politics and democracy, after which it turns to two specific areas of Masarykian influence: the political culture as symbolized by the so-called „pragmatic generation” of the liberal democratic intelligentsia and, second, the nationality question, the central sore point of interwar Czechoslovak state-building. Special attention is devoted to the thought of philosopher, social activist and controversial public intellectual, Emanuel Rádl.
