Title The history of scientific atheism : a comparative study of Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union (1954-1991) / Jan Tesař Author Tesař, Jan, 1933- (Author) Publication Göttingen : Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, [2019] Copyright notice date ©2019 Scope 355 stran : ilustrace, mapy ; 24 cm Country Germany Language English Edition Religiöse Kulturen im Europa der Neuzeit ; Band 16 Note Obsahuje bibliografii, bibliografické odkazy a rejstřík Annotation "The book analyses under what conditions was it possible to develop scientific atheism which was by the contemporaries in the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia understood not only as a branch of propaganda but as a specific scholarly discipline. It maps out not only the state of affairs before the organizational changes allowed the emergence of research but also analyses the motivation which led the historical actors to make such decision in both national contexts. One of the key findings is undoubtedly the fact that scientific atheism developed as a new type of thinking about religious phenomena within the context of Marxist-Leninist epistemological doctrine. Moreover, it also contributed to the rethinking of the key aspects of Marxist doctrine. The comparative analysis allows to draw conclusions about the existence of specifically Soviet and Czechoslovakian scientific atheism and questions the level of sovietization in this context." --Cover Výrazy tezauru ateismus * marxismus * politická ideologie * Československo * Svaz sovětských socialistických republik * 2. polovina 20. století Klasifikační znaky 2831 - Kultura a náboženství 0406 - Politický rámec ISBN 978-3-525-31086-1 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie
