Protiklady lidské svobody v díle Karla Vrány
Contrasts of Human Freedom in the Work of Karel Vrána

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the philosophical theological concept of freedom in the work of Karel Vrána (1924‒2005) and focuses in particular on the contrast between transcendence and immanence of the human spirit. In response to the atheistic protest against God, it is of importance to clarify the concept of God’s transcendence, which neither disparages the world nor threatens man in his earthly decisions and actions. In the article, the author examines and analyses Vrána’s reflections on the relationship between transcen¬dence and immanence in human existence, presents various models of human freedom, and deals with the dialogical personal concept of man and the Christian vision of freedom, which is also characterised by humour. In conclusion, the entire topic is interpreted theologically from a Christological and Trinitarian perspective.This article discusses the philosophical theological concept of freedom in the work of Karel Vrána (1924‒2005) and focuses in particular on the contrast between transcendence and immanence of the human spirit.
