Summary/Abstract: From the tlanslator: „The Ideals of Humanism” (the title of the original Idealy humanitni) first appeared in print in the form of a series of nine articles published in the “Czas” newspaper in March, 1901. The same year saw also its book edition. From that moment on the work became very popular which led to its several reprints later on. The translation was accomplished from the 6th edition (CIN, Praha 1930). As the book comprises mainly the notes taken from the public lectures of professor Masaryk, only slightly corrected for publication purposes, the specifically conversational style with numerous reiterations and digressions has been kept unaltered in the translation. The comments by V. QK. Škrach appended to the 4th 1927 edition of the book as well as the bibliography consisting of a little over 10 entries, containing references mostly to the well-known philosophical works of the 19th century, have been omitted as inessential for the contemporary Polish reader.
