The Institute for the Care of the Cultural and Intellectual Heritage has brought together approximately 270 dialogues with figures from science, politics, the academic world and the media relating to modern Czech history post-1989.
Confirmed participants: Monika Pajerová, Roman Joch, Petr Havlík, Mons. Vladimír Hronek, Štěpán Wolde, Karel Kříž and Michael Žantovský. Chaired by Martin Soldát.
The aim is to recall in a humane way processes that are unjustly neglected or forced out of the normal life of the society. The evening will include the presentation of a collection of texts by nine participants – academics and journalists, people from public life – that were published in abridged form in the review Listy.
Professor Jiří Přibáň said of the project: “A unique project combining the methods of biographical sociology and history with general philosophical and ethical subjects and dilemmas.”
