Abstracts

The paper deals with the process of marginalizing of Ján Caplovic, a Slovak Enlightenment writer and defender of the Slovak national concerns, in the Hungarian culture of the 1st half of the 19th century. It examines the so called 'Caplovic's paradoxes', with the help of which Caplovic ironized the natural right, natural philosophy, national philosophy and historiography from the perspective of the rationality of the natural sciences. The author points out to the dominating narrative of the reform period (embodied in views such as those of G. Szontagh), which excluded Caplovic's interpretation of the problems concerned. This process took place on the background of so called 'philosophy of harmony' with its pretension to play the role of the national philosophy.
