Jan Masaryk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In September 1938 the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia was occupied by German forces and Masaryk resigned as Ambassador in protest, although he remained in London. Born in Prague, he was the son of the diplomat Tomáš Masaryk who became the first President of Czechoslovakia, and the American born Charlotte Garrigue. Masaryk remained Foreign Minister, although he was apparently uncertain about his decision. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jan_Masaryk   (449 words)

Definition of Tomas Masaryk - Biocrawler Masaryk was born in the predominantly Catholic city of Hodonín, Moravia (then part of the Austrian Empire) to a working-class family (his father was a carter). Masaryk served in the Austrian Parliament from 1891 to 1893 in the Young Czech Party and again from 1907 to 1914 in the Realist Party, becoming an ever more vocal proponent of independence of the Slavic peoples from Austria-Hungary. His son, Jan Masaryk, served as Foreign Minister in the Czechoslovak government-in-exile (1940 - 1945) and in the governments of 1945 to 1948. www.biocrawler.com /encyclopedia/Tomas_Masaryk   (485 words)

The Legacy of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk Masaryk was most insightful when he defended the European interest in his charming and moving book World Revolution (1925), in which he argued that Europeans wished to see the ascendancy of those Russian adherents of democracy who sought the signposts of national revival by looking outward and forward, rather than inward and backward. Masaryk calls for a concern for truth and authenticity; a concern for our fellow man and woman; and a passion for justice and freedom and thus for democracy, conceived as a tolerant, open society with equal rights and duties for all citizens, regardless of sex, colour, religion or cultural background. Masaryk is most emphatic and very eloquent on the sexual question, which he sees with the eyes of a firm believer in woman's moral equality with men. old.hrad.cz /president/Masaryk/cv_uk.html   (1974 words)

CHAPTER II Masaryk's concept of this problem may be summarized as follows: A small nation ("we") cannot, in comparison with big nations ("they"), base its existence, identity and importance on quantitative indices or the external power of economics, population, or military superiority. For Masaryk, the national is always subordinated to the generally humanistic; the identity and rights of a nation are subordinated to the human and civil rights of all mankind. Masaryk's three principal theses of the philosophy of history were formulated gradually as a conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism, between reformation and revolution, between democracy and theocracy. www.crvp.org /book/Series04/IVA-4/chapter_ii.htm   (4353 words)

MASARYK AND THE CROATS Masaryk too was invoking a double standard when the cause of the Czechs and their allies was in question, national and human rights were sacred, otherwise he demonstrates at times an irritation that others should claim the same privileges. Masaryk scarcely makes an effort to enter into the minds of bygone people, to reconstruct their outlook in its historical setting, for he does not care for the past in itself but mainly for the consciousness and conscience of his contemporaries and their descendants. Milada Paulova believes that Masaryk, after being deeply involved in the explosive South Slavic problems, and becoming convinced that the Austrians and Magyars were unwilling to accept the democratic principles and the reorganization of the state in which the Slavs would be equal partners gradually espoused revolutionary ideas for the overthrow of the decrepit government. www.studiacroatica.com /jcs/28/2805.htm   (7803 words)

Charlotte Masaryk Charlotte Masaryk and their children, who eventually numbered five (four survived infancy), joined him in Prague, where he was prominent in the movement to restore the Czech language. Considering her husband's work for Czech nationalism the most important part of their lives, Masaryk refused to entertain his desire to move to the United States both in 1886 and again in 1899 when he was the most hated man in Bohemia. Charlotte Masaryk's family treasured the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn as the place where the seeds of her future strength had been planted. www.uua.org /uuhs/duub/articles/charlottemasaryk.html   (1188 words)

Tomas Masaryk The son of a coachman, Masaryk was educated at Vienna and Leipzig and in 1882 became Professor of Philosophy at the Czech University in Prague. Masaryk, a member of the Vienna Parliament in 1891-93 and 1907-14, advocated the reconciliation of all western and southern Slav groups (Czechs, Slovaks, Croats and Serbs).

Cointech, Inc. v Masaryk Towers Corp. (2004 NYSlipOp 03933) Masaryk moved to dismiss pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (1) and (7), arguing that plaintiff knew that Masaryk was supervised by HPD and that pursuant to section 3-07 of the HPD Rules, the lease was unenforceable absent HPD's approval, which had been denied. It argued that the lease was enforceable because Masaryk never apprised it that HPD's approval was required and, to the contrary, its president, McCallum, had warranted in the executed lease that she had the authority to bind Masaryk. Masaryk consists of six residential buildings totaling 1,108 apartments and, as a Mitchell-Lama complex, it is under the direct supervision of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). www.courts.state.ny.us /REPORTER/3dseries/2004/2004_03933.htm   (2273 words)

CHAPTER V Masaryk's reformist concept of political and social problems, the fact that he defended the priority of a "revolution of heads and hearts", his attitude to the social crisis as a crisis of man and his Weltanschauung--all this could not but be close to the attitudes of Czech Protestantism at that time. Masaryk strove to derive the absolute, general, binding moral norms from universal relationships and characteristics, placing morals and religion in the heart of man. He traced his final outlook to "the light of eternity", to the importance of faith in God, and hence a psychological effect. Masaryk's philosophy of Czech history was also favorable to Protestantism; it put in the fore the reformist legacy and, in association with this, emphasized the humanitarian and religious-ethical meaning of Czech history. www.crvp.org /book/Series04/IVA-4/chapter_v.htm   (4407 words)

Tomas Masaryk Masaryk's scholarly career took a decisive turn in 1891, when he was elected to the Vienna parliament as a Young Czech Party candidate, which he had joined recently joined.  Within two years, however, Masaryk resigned his seat in parliament, dissatisfied with the radical Young Czechs and their erratic, undetermined party policies. By 1907, however, Masaryk was well-known enough to be elected to the Vienna parliament as a deputy of his own Party, partially by allying his party with the Social Democrats.   He kept his seat in parliament for two consecutive elections until the outbreak of the War in 1914. Meanwhile, Masaryk arrived in the United States and the Czechoslovak National Council was recognised by France and England as the legitimate government of the future independent Czechoslovakia.   While on tour, Masaryk gained the same for his movement by the Washington. www.geocities.com /veldes1/masaryk.html   (598 words)

Chandler Rosenberger at AAASS 2000 Masaryk's legacy could not be claimed by his political progeny, however, unless they overthrew his suspicion of Romanticism and revolution, for it was in such revolution that his children saw their best hopes for reshaping the masses. Masaryk was to be celebrated as the intellectual who had brought critical intelligence to the center of power, but had to be condemned for allowing bourgeois liberalism to stymie the continual revolution in the soul of the people. Although Vaculík called explicitly for the rehabilitation of Masaryk, inspiring the wrath of the Soviet press, his homage was not piety to a long-lost saint, but rather endorsement of a belief that gave writers authority as authors of the nation, an authority that Masaryk himself thought writers should enjoy. people.bu.edu /crr/AAASS2000.htm   (3301 words)

Amazon.com: Talks With T.G. Masaryk: Books Talks With T. Masaryk is the story of how a poor country boy, half Czech, half Slovak, got himself an education, married a girl from Brooklyn, became a philosophy professor, and grew increasingly controversial by defending a young Jew accused of ritual murder and by unmasking Czech historical sagas as forgeries. Masaryk's explanation of his position gives a sense of his typically upright and commonsensical approach: "I considered the Manuscripts issue to be first and foremost a moral issue: if they were forgeries we had to confess it to the world; our pride, our culture could not be based on a lie." Masaryk's particular interests included the 15th-century reformist Czech Jan Hus and the "Manuscripts Controversy" over Ossianic forgeries that their supporters protected as necessary proof of an ancient Czech heritage. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0945774265?v=glance   (771 words)
