Súčasná česká filozofia náboženstva: Otakar Funda, Tomáš Halík, Jolana Poláková
A Contemporary Czech Atheistic and Theistic Philosophy of Religion: Otakar Funda, Tomáš Halík, Jolana Poláková

Summary/Abstract: The article describes and presents thinking of three outstanding representatives of a contemporary Czech philosophy of religion. Otakar Funda radically realized the project of demythologization and existential interpretation and he also demythologized the category of transcendence. He became an atheist and corresponds with the thoughts of S. Žižek in understanding of love. Tomáš Halík is a Christian philosopher. He occupies himself with the analysis of relation between secular and religious thinking and the role of Christianity in current society. We could understand his recent book I Want You To Be : Christianity after Religion as a fictitious dialogue with authors who refuse to accept a personal, transcendental God and refuse him as the source of love. Jolana Poláková follows the tradition of dialogical philosophy. She emphasizes the difference between monological and dialogical philosophical theology. The man meets God in a dialogue as much as the God meets the man. The dialogue is a place of God’s proximity.
