Masaryk a náboženství: Sedm zastavení k 75. výročí úmrtí TGM – Dokulil Miloslav (2018)

The monograph by Prof. M. Dokulil titled "Masaryk and Religion" presents an admirable wealth of ideas over 211 pages. His approach to Masaryk's work is completely original, which is due to his extraordinary knowledge in philosophy, sociology, history, political science, theology, and literary studies. He does not merely want to interpret Masaryk but speaks about what T.G.M. has to offer to him and what he should offer to contemporary society. From a historical foundation, he always brings his reflections up to the present day and expresses his appeals to contemporaries with great urgency. The book was developed over twenty years, but it does not consist of fragmented thoughts; it forms a logical whole. It has a preface, seven chapters, and a conclusion, all of which are engaging yet demanding for the reader. The chapters are structured around many suggestive questions, to which they provide answers. The monograph has such above-standard qualities that it should be read not only by experts but also by the general public. It is a convincing testament that T.G. Masaryk is not just a historical legend but a source of multifaceted inspiration—especially moral—for today's Czech society.
