The article deals with the reception of Ladislav Klíma’s work by his contemporaries, by the philosophers, academicians and authors, including Otakar Březina, Jaroslav Seifert, Karel Čapek, F. X.Šalda and Emanuel Chalupný, Klíma’s patron. The focus is placed on the reception of Klíma by the philosophers of the “younger generation”, such as Ferdinand Pelikán, Karel Vorovka, Vladimír Hoppe, and Tomáš Trnka. The article builds especially on the articles published in the then journals or on the commentaries in the then litterature. Although Ladislav Klíma was ignored by most of the “official” philosophy, the originality of his writing style and the uniqueness of his character gained him much appreciation, if not admiration, from most of the acclaimed academicians of the time. Even though most of Klíma’s supporters and readers did not agree with his philosophy, they certainly respected him for the genuineness of his attempts at living his philosophy.
