The Crisis of Modern Man and the Perspective of Eternity in the Light of T. G. Masaryk’s Thinking

Summary/Abstract: Masaryk’s concept of modern human crisis stems from historical philosophical thesis that the modern world develops from the Catholic to the Protestant way of thinking. This process of transition is not linear, but complicated and painful. One of phenomena accompanying this crisis is the suicide rate. The negative atmosphere and fragmentation of society dominating to the beginning of the nineteenth century justified Masaryk‘s view that the time is „born“ for a new religion. At the same time the concept of synergism which Masaryk undestands as man’s activity joining the present with the eternity was formulated.
