The Search for the Meaning of Czech History
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: May 5, 2026, 19:00 – 21:00
How did historian František Palacký influence thinking about Czech and Czechoslovak history? Can traces of this outlook also be found in Václav Havel? How have ideas about the meaning of history taken shape and evolved under various political regimes? These and other questions will be addressed in a debate among three professors held in connection with the 150th anniversary of the death of “father of the nation” Palacký.
Miroslav Bednář, Petr Čornej and Milan Hlavačka will take part in the discussion, which will be helmed by historian Michal Macháček.
