The paper deals with Štúr’s critical assessment of German philosophy of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Štúr openly blames the ideas coming from this tradition for creating the breeding ground for a massive popularity of Nazi ideology in Germany in 1930s and 1940s. Štúr pays particular attention to the work of J. G. Fichte, A. Schopenahuer, M. Stirner, F. Nietzsche and others. A special focus of his criticism is placed on the role of individualism.
