The present paper inquires into Maimonides' attitude to Islam. His halakhic stance towards Islam has been moulded in the period of large-scale religious persecutions in Maghreb and Yemen whose repercussions has found the way to his writings dealing with Islam. Both persecutions affected not only local Jewish communities but also Maimonides personally when he had to convert to Islam. The paper analyses his refutation of the main arguments of Muslim polemics with Judaism: Biblical testimonies to Muhammad; falsification of the Scripture; the abrogation of the Mosaic Law. In his polemical discourse with Islam Maimonides has not introduced much new and in fact reiterates polemical arguments of the older Jewish authorities.

The present literary historical study focuses on reconstructing the outer circumstances of the cultural life in the first half of the 1930s, which had a significant influence on reception of Alexander Matuška´s early work in the Slovak environment. The study consists of two chapters – the first one deals with an attempt at unifying the Slovak cultural environment on the national basis in the name of the slogan by Tido J. Gašpar „Dajme sa dokopy“ („Let´s get together“), the other one presents Slovak polemics concerning the Czech monthly Přítomnost, which Matuška cooperated with in the 1930s. The material resource of the research is provided by selected society and culture magazines, which were used as a platform for the clashes of world views and were the most influential media of the times. (Přítomnost, Slovenské pohľady, Elán, DAV, Pero, Nový svet, LUK etc.). Against a background of the selected polemics over Alexander Matuška, which also involved Tido J. Gašpar and Ferdinand Peroutka, the author of the study takes account of the ideological clashes in the Slovak cultural life of the 1930s. What becomes the centre of attention is the conflict between the Slovak and the Czechoslovak identities and the confrontation between the modern paradigm of Slovak culture and its traditional form, i.e. arguments between the progressive and conservative parts of the Slovak cultural elites. Matuška´s juvenile critical gesture along with the reactions it triggered is thus interpreted as a part of wider discourse structure – intense contemporary discussions on the cultural dimension of the so called „Slovak issue”.
