Vztah vědy a umění v myšlení Jana Patočky

Abstract

The study follows Jan Patočka's considerations on the mutual relation of science and art as two important ways of the comprehension of reality. Patočka states that the science presents the tool of revealing the objective and binding truth and the art is able to reveal the subjective and individual truth. The art thus presents a corrective of the dominance of science. However, the art as such emerges only in the time of the dominance of science. The study stresses that, along these lines, the mutual relations of art and science should be conceived as dialectical.
