The philosopher and theologian, Samuel Stefan Osusky (1888 -1975), who was an exceptional personality among the anti-philosophically oriented protestant theologians, underlined the importance of the rational attitude in the philosophical investigations of the fundamental problems. His researches in the history of philosophy (including Slovak philosophy) were continuous: he was a sort of a 'founding father' of this discipline in Slovakia. His study of rich original sources, in which the method applied was that of positivism, resulted in publication of several articles and books devoted to the intellectual situation in Slovakia from 16th to 19th century, in particular to 'national idealism': 'Filozofia sturovcov' (The Philosophy of Stur and His Followers; 1928 1932), as well as his 'Prve slovenske dejiny filozofie' (The First Slovak History of Philosophy; 1939), the first and path-breaking book in this field in Slovakia.

The 'Association for Scientific Synthesis' (1937 - 1940, 1945 - 1950) gathered a group of Slovak intellectuals, who tried to introduce the modern scientific attitudes and structural methods into Slovak culture. In their systematic effort for a coordinated and convergent scientific research, for an exact scientific language and the methods they were inspired by logical empiricism of 'Wiener Kreis', Czech Structuralism and Russian 'formal' school. Much of their attention was paid to such problems as the philosophy and methodology of science, concept of empirical knowledge, the questions of logical syntax and semantics, scientific verification, the problems of causality and rational induction as well as to the question of the development of personality. They presented the problems of art and literature from a structuralist point of view. When comparing the poetic language with the scientific language and its function they saw the former as a specific kind of sign. In the post-war period they confronted their non-etical attitudes with philosophical intuitivism and tried to bring together their scientific meta-theory and marxism.

Jan Patocka outlined the basic principles of his phenomenology in the 60ies, when a possibility appeared for him to publish them in Slovakia. He influenced the Slovak philosophy by his contributions on the history of Czech philosophy, by his critical evaluation of the philosophy of Czech history (especially that of Masaryk), as well as by developing his double concept of nation in Czech tradition (the language-cultural and social-ethical ones). Also in his outlines of Czech philosophy he occasionally reviewed the writings of Slovak philosophers. In the interpreting of philosophy of 'small nations' his concept of 'marginal philosophy' might be inspiring.

The arguments concerning modernity of the Slovak thinking manifested themselves in the course of the 20th century in the confrontations of two streams: the traditionalistic and modernistic ones. The Hegelianism as the intellectual source of the national philosophy was rejected, while the conservatives criticized severly modern philosophy for its secularization tendencies. Against Kant Thomas Aquinas and the neothomism were picked up; the philosophical synthesis should have been grounded in the metaphysical principles. The divergence of incommensurable positions of transcendence and immanence manifested itself in full size in the conflicts between the representatives of the Catholic modernity and the avant-garde theoreticians and the surrealist poets. The same applies to the philosophical disagreements concerning the nature of knowledge between the adherents of the intuitive realism on one side and the critical realism on the other side. In the Slovak milieu the enforcing of modernity always had to face the opposition or even an open negation of the modernism.

The paper offers a comparison of the achievements, conceptions and fortunes of two of the most important personalities of Czech and Slovak philosophies. They both were deeply convinced of the possibility and necessity of philosophical knowledge. What played a decisive role in their lives, were their convictions: on the side of Hrusovský it was scientific-structuralist and on the side of Patocka existential-phenomenological one. The paper outlines the parallels between the intellectual pathos and life ethos of both philosophers, i.e. between Patocka's phenomenology of human condition and Hrusovsky's structurologist theory of being, as well as the disparity of their concepts of science.

The journal 'Prudy' (1909 - 1914; 1922 - 1938) served the liberal-democratic part of the Slovak intelligence as a platform for promoting Masaryk's ideology. The young intellectuals grouped around this journal were familiar with the progressive thinking of that time and promoted the positivist realistic attitude and world-view. Similarly, as Czech intellectuals, the Slovak adherents of Masaryk contributed to introducing the rational approach, the principle of criticism and other progressive trends in Slovak cultural milieu. The journal offered the place for discussing the burning political and social issues, as well as cultural and scientific issues. Although the journal was not a purely theoretical one, many of the authors contributed considerably for the philosophical (S. Stur) and sociological (A. Stefanek) debates.
