The exile polemics on a book of Roman Jacobson: A contribution to the dispute on the meaning of czech history within wartime
2015
Abstract
In this chapter is disputes the western especially german influence on Czech thought and claims that the Cyrillo-Methodian and Byzantine influence on the Czech thought played much more important role. Where do the Czechs belong? Is it to the west or to the east? The well-known metaphor of a bridge had a large impact on the Czechoslovak post-war foreign policy.
