DYNAMIKA ĽUDSKÉHO PRÍSTUPU K SVETU V DIELE JANA PATOČKU

The paper sheds light on the fundamental motifs of J. Patocka’s critical adopting of Husserl and Heidegger. It tries to answer the question: What is the distinctive trait of Patocka’s unveiling the dynamics of human existence? In Patocka’s work the history and the historicity of Dasein are discussed in the context of the experience of drifting, which makes the relatedness to the whole of the world as well as the change of the perspectives possible. Patocka’s philosophy of history is based on the fundamental turn in a person’s life oriented on the life in truth, freedom and responsibility. The turn takes place both on individual and social levels.
