Summary/Abstract: The paper tries to define what Patocka’s could understand as a Socrates personality. In the individual parts of the paper, based on the content analysis of selected texts about Patocka’s, the reader acquaints himself with the basic contours of Patocka’s thinking, that the complex philosophical speech interprets his understanding of the phenomenology of the essence of Patocka’s asubjective phenomenology. He explains Patocka’s understanding of Socrates’s soul-lover, and in this context he explains the subsequent relationship of philosophy and politics. The contribution leads to contemporary European issues of the sense of the crisis in modern times. The conclusion at the end comes to the belief that man only enters history by living in opposition to any arbitrarily ruling power present. In this spirit they are Patocka’s philosophical thoughts are timeless and not bound by any pre-given or life-unverified sense. One should realize the moral basis of truth in an unprejudicary and still open mind.
