Summary/Abstract: Czech Conservatism and Conservative Intellectuals. The article refers to problems of specifying the term and the actual working of conservatism in the Czech lands in the first half of the twentieth century. These allow for formulating the thesis on weakness of conservatism in the Czech history, already noticed by other authors (F. X. alda, J. Patočka, J. Křen and others). The article explains sociological reasons of this fact such as the specifics of the rise of the Czech nation in the nineteenth century. A typology of the Czech conservatisms is offered: aristocratic, autonomous - historism as a spontaneous conservatism, civic conservatism and situation conservatism; and their representatives are introduced: T. G. Masaryk, Albín Bráf, Jaroslav Goll, Josef Pekař, Jaroslav Durych, Karel Kramář, Lev Borský, Viktor Dyk a J. S. Machar. Sociológia 2002 Vol 34 (No. 1: 5-22)
