Summary/Abstract: The article describes the little known and explored philosophical relations between the Polish and Czech philosophers during the communist regime. Their main and rich expression was undoubtedly the long friendship between Polish philosopher and translator, Irena Krońska and the greatest Czech philosopher of XXth century, Jan Patočka. Reading their correspondence, we examine the leading themes, including the dialogue, the new subjectivity as an open soul, the Post-Europe as well as theological and aesthetic issues.
