One of the main article goals are going to be especially analytical, comparing as well as deductive English language specialised reflections of this philosopher and aesthetics-studious person together with our Slovak and Czech language sources. The part of our work is going to be also concentrated on the previous conferential reflections, but an addition of the next, not only her bookish and past characteristics, but also the current Internet ones, that are an integral part of our life and inevitable information sources, is going to be presented too. All these considerations ́ result should be the following, closer Langer ́s clarification in the 20th and 21st century aesthetics-philosophical world. Due to all above mentioned ideas, the next article goal of the same interest relevance is going to happen the comparative current/modern author´ s theories of the philosophical-aesthetics art world insight, concerning the understood and reflected Susanne Langer ́s part of her lifetime work so far. Then our research should be focused on closer assembling of our answer to the continually ongoing question about the philosophy of art and aesthetics ́s meaning and message of this controversial American philosophical and aesthetics world figure.

The article considers the Safarik's only book, 'Sedm listu Melinovi' (Seven Letters to Melin) in its context. Josef Safarik (1907-1992) was a philosopher from Brno, Moravia. When the work came out in 1948, its reception was hampered by the Communist takeover in late February of that year. Unlike other scholarship that has considered this work in relation to the generation of Václav Havel (who admired it considerably), the present article considers the work in relation to the Czech aesthetics of the 1930s and 1940s. It compares Safarik's views with those of the writer-critic F. X. Salda (1867-1937) and the novelist-aesthetician-critic Bohumil Markalous (1882-1952), and demonstrates that Safarik's 'Sedm listu Melinovi', rather than being an isolated phenomenon, was part of the intellectual tradition of engaging in debate with the left-wing Avantgarde. The article is followed by two previously unpublished letters from Safarik to Markalous.

This article considers the uncommon situation surrounding the acceptance of Darwinism in nineteenth-century Bohemia, when the diffusion and interpretation of Darwin’s teachings were first undertaken, above all by two professors of aesthetics at Prague – Josef Durdík and Otakar Hostinský. Although they somewhat simplified the theory of natural selection, they understood Darwin’s theory to be the arrival of a new paradigm in contrast to contemporary biologists working in the Bohemian Lands. This article presents and compares both aestheticians’ interpretations of Darwinism, mainly their stance on the theory of Natural selection, the possibilities of applying this theory to aesthetics and art, as well as their relationship to Darwin’s interpretation of aesthetic phenomena in nature.

The author created a portrait of the Czech aesthetic thinker Jaroslav Hruban (1886-1934) based on his aesthetic works and biographical facts. Jaroslav Hruban, who was a disciple of Otakar Hostinsky (1847-1910), was one of the founders of modern Czech aesthetics. He was the first one who wrote about the aesthetics of Saint Augustine and Dante Alighieri in Czech, and the first one who wrote a Czech introduction to aesthetics. He dealt with the question of aesthetic values that are important for aesthetic culture. In the essay, the connection between Jaroslav Hruban and Otakar Hostinsky is especially stressed, in spite of some important differences. According to the author, Jaroslav Hruban was among the leading Czech thinkers of aesthetics in the first half of the 20th century.
