This paper is based on a principle that the language is always in a continuation with its previous state. The Historical Dictionary of Slovak Language, whose seventh volume was finished in the 2008, can be seen as a clear evidence of this. The dictionary includes a vocabulary from pre-literary period, i.e. from 11th up to 18th century, until the first Slovak literary language codification performed by Anton Bernolak. The authoress of the paper provides an analysis of the vocabulary of pre-literary period as well as characteristics of the Slovak language starting off an occurrence of Slovakims in the Latin texts and ending up with the Slovak language pre-literary forms, the so-called Cultural Slovak of 16th - 18th centuries. The paper also presents influences of several other languages such as Czech, Latin and German etc. on Slovak. Furthermore, the authoress compares the whole anterior period of Slovak language development with a contemporary period, showing the similarities as well as differences.

This paper is devoted to Bertrand Russell’s criticism of Henri Bergson’s philosophy. It traces out the origins of that criticism and analyses its essence, reasons and development in Russell’s works. Because of the importance of the concepts of space and time for Bergson’s philosophy and, in turn, the importance of continuity and discreteness for the understanding of space and time, the central part of the analysis concerns the views of the both philosophers on continuity and discreteness, including Zeno’s paradoxes. The main thesis of the paper is that Russell’s criticism of Bergson’s philosophy comes, to a great extent, from Russell’s misunderstanding of Bergson.

The Czech Republic is considered one of the most atheistic countries globally. One of the reasons used to explain the high level of secularization of Czech society and the high level of distrust in religion and religious institutions is the specific historical conditions. In this context, the political anti-Catholicism of a large part of the Czech political elite during the period of the so-called First Czechoslovak Republic (1918–1938) and the influence of the communist regime are mentioned in particular. In my paper, I will try to show that other factors probably played a key role, especially the significant socio-demographic changes associated with the displacement of the German population after the Second World War. World War II and the disruption of traditional ties in the Czech countryside as a result of the so-called collectivization of the countryside (the top-directed elimination of private agriculture and the dismantling of traditional rural structures). Along with this, I will try to show that most of the existing explanations overestimate the role of ideological arguments against religion and, on the contrary, underestimate the influence of factors such as the disruption of collective memory, the reduction of the public visibility of religion and the role of (non-) religious socialization.
