On the example of two important Czech Communist political thinkers and activists – the historian, musicologist, and minister in post-war Czechoslovak governments, Zdeněk Nejedlý, and the philosopher and essayist Karel Kosík – the articles provides basic contours of the dilemma between the „nationally particular” and the “revolutionarily universal,” which all Communist and radical Socialists thinkers of their time faced. The author sets the intellectual and creative development of these two figures into the wider political context from the end of the Second World War to the 1968 Prague Spring.
