Abstracts

In the present study the centre of attention is the lyric-didactic religious poem by Michal Miloslav Hodža Vieroslavín, which is regarded by literary critics as the author´s poetic testament. They interpreted this particular work of art in order to get to the heart of the idea of Messianism included in the poem. They show what the premises of Hodža´s historiosophy were, what his visions of the future of Europe were, the fact that Hodža did not associate Slavs´ mission with the leading role of Russia, rather, he saw the future union of Slavs within Austria. Hodža´s utopia in comparison to the other projects is dominated by the religious element. The future Europe can only be built as a result of the Evangelical spirit been embodied in interpersonal relationships within the social life. Christ´s Way of the Cross and the truths revealed by him are meant to become indicators for the Slavic nations. The cross becomes the symbol of revival, forgiveness, love and reconciliation, whereas faith is the only permanent foundation which real human community can be built on.
