あらすじ・解説
Another Life: A Word in Difficult Times by Karel Kalal, translated by Kytka Hilmarova, is a compelling and thought-provoking work that delves into the pressing issues of its time. Written with a keen sense of honesty and a deep concern for the well-being of the Czech nation, this book challenges conventional thinking and offers a fresh perspective on the way forward.
In this book, Kálal questions the prevalent trust placed in politics, particularly in its narrowest sense, such as parliamentary and journalistic struggles. Instead, he argues that the true strength of the nation lies in moral fortitude and piety. Drawing inspiration from historical figures like Jan Hus and the Czech Brethren, Kálal highlights the invincible power of the nation's piety and its potential for resilience and progress.
However, Kálal acknowledges that the present era is not conducive to promoting deep piety. He laments the decline of moral values among the intelligentsia and the prevalence of alcoholism, which he views as a modern illness that erodes morality and hampers education. Kálal advocates for rational moral education as a remedy and stresses the importance of preserving and multiplying the achievements of previous generations through diligent work.
In his call for change, Kálal underscores the need for morally upright and educated individuals to take leadership roles in various spheres of society, including associations, cooperatives, municipalities, and districts. He argues that true political unity cannot be achieved through superficial means but rather by choosing individuals who possess both moral integrity and intellectual acumen.
