Drawing on the views of three selected Czech philosophers – Rádl, Fischer and Rieger – on questions of physics and their possible philosophical reflection, the author conjectures how these thinkers, consistent with their original views, might respond to currently discussed contemporary questions. Specifically, at the time of the conference, it was the then current problem of neutrinos and of their speed, which apparently had been measured at more than the speed of light. At issue are primarily methodological postures, views concerning the proper range of philosophy on the basis of which we can, given appropriate speculation, derive a highly probable stance which the selected philosophers represented and, more generally, their probable approach to contemporary issues.
