Recepcja filozofii utopii i nadziei Ernsta Blocha wśród filozofów z krajów słowiańskich
Reception of the Philosophy of Utopia and Hope by Ernst Bloch Among Philosophers of Slavic Countries

Summary/Abstract: The article looks at the reception of Ernst Bloch’s utopian philosophy and principle of hope in Slavic countries. Bloch is hardly known in most Slavic countries, but his work has influenced many outstanding philosophers, sociologists and theologians in these countries. The author of the article investigates the reasons why Bloch’s philosophy has met with little response in Slavic countries, even after the arrival of democracy in those countries, when politics lost its monopoly on philosophy. One reason why Bloch’s philosophy has not become very popular is that it promotes the idea of inter-human solida-rity, which means it is against contemporary neoliberalism and any and all relations of alienation. The second question is: what is it that Bloch’s philosophy can teach us? In the opinion of the author, there is at least one such thing: one cannot take the future out of the past – one should always do the reverse.
