Wstęp. Masaryk i filozofia
Introduction: Masaryk and Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The introduction to this special issue devoted to the philosophy of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk attempts to re-read his intellectual legacy in the light of contemporary debates and recent events related to the publication of his notes. The issue presents a translation of an early text by Masaryk as well as works by his students and interpreters, highlighting various aspects of his thought – from concepts of art and aesthetics, through international reception, to questions of rationalism, democracy, and ethics. The articles by Vasil K. Škrach, Emanuel Rádl, and Josef Tvrdý reveal both the diversity of Masaryk’s inspirations and the development of his ideas within the broader context of European philosophy. An integral part of the introduction is also a subject bibliography devoted to Masaryk’s philosophy in Polish scholarship. Although not exhaustive, this compilation aims to indicate the main directions of existing research and to encourage further studies of his thought, including the undertaking of a broader research project on Masaryk’s place in the history of philosphy.
