Abstract
Czech reflections about the sense, outline or fundamental formula of national history are distorted and lead to disfigured conclusions, since they have been wrongly classified, since the start of the nineteenth century, as a philosophy. In allusion to ancient epistemology (theologia civilis), and Durkheim's and Luhmann's concept of religion, the author of the essay under review argues that talk is about civic, or rather civil theology.
He demonstrates the wrong theoretical anchoring using excerpts from books by Petr Drulák (Politika nezájmu: Česko a Západ v krizi, Prague 2012) and Erazim Kohák (Hearth and Horizon, Prague 2008). Insufficient reflection of civil theology also marks Drulák's concept of Love/Brotherhood, stripping it of immunity against the Marxist template.
