Anton Štefánek – sociologist, politician, journalist and educator was a prominent yet undervalued figure in Slovakia of the 20th century. Štefanek‘s public activity in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Czechoslovak Republic (CSR) involved a number of different areas. His sociological work encompassed the period between the late 19th century and the latter half of the 20th century including the evolution of Slovak sociological thought. However, the most important from the perspective of a historian, political scientist and sociologist was his general perception of social thought and of the intellectual condition of Slovakia at large.

This text examines Anton Štefánek´s sociology, one of the first scholars in the field in Slovakia, in the context of the journals of that day. Especially, it examines the topics of Štefánek’s publications in relation to other articles in sociological journals, relying on the overall results of a content analysis of those journals. This presentation of Štefánek’s journal publications brings out some of his lesser-known or more difficult-to-find publications, and places them in the overall context of his sociology. The study shows that Štefánek’s sociological interests, who were dominated by the themes of the rural countryside and the nation, were not unusual either for the period between the wars, or after the Second World War. Nevertheless the breadth of Štefánek’s approach and his focus on Czechoslovak national unity (so-called Czechoslovakism) was somewhat unique in the context of academic journals at the time. Analysis of commentary in the journals on Štefánek’s sociology allows us to evaluate over a limited area his colleagues’ understanding of his importance. It shows that perceptions of his importance were different in the Czech and Slovak parts of sociological discourse (the Czech journals were dominated by attention given to Masaryk, about whom nothing was written in Slovakia, with attention being focused on Štefánek instead), even though he was a prominent figure not only in Slovakia but in the Czech lands as well, and was made even more important by his political involvement during the First Republic.

The study is concerned with the activities of the journalist, politician, sociologist and teacher Anton Štefánek at the Bratislava office of the Ministry of Education and National Enlightenment, a branch of the central ministry in Prague. He made good use of his preceding years of national, social, political, cultural, educational and political activity, in favour of organizing and directing education and public information in Slovakia. Under Štefánek’s leadership in the period 1918 – 1923, the office of the ministry laid the foundations of Slovak education in the First Czechoslovak Republic. The institution participated in the Slovakization and unification of education in Slovakia and preparation of the so-called Little Education Act of 1922. Štefánek was a member and functionary of the Republican Party of Agrarian and Small-Farming People. He devoted attention to the institutionalization of education of the general public, especially of the rural population.
