MILOŠ ŠTEFANOVIČ: O MODERNOM SLOVENSKOM POLITICKOM MYSLENÍ PRED HLASISTAMI

The paper examines the fundamental concept of the political publicist Milos Stefanovic, which in the 1880ies and 1890ies suggested the transformation of Slovak political thinking as well as abandoning the voluntarily adopted passive attitude. Stefanovic developed a consistent conception of national politics based on self-responsible, independent political work grounded in patriotic self-criticism. He was also one of the prime movers of the cooperation between nationalities in Hungary as well as a critique of the distorted political culture of the government establishment.
