| Description | The first Czech attempt to create a comprehensive aesthetic system dates back to 1869, which, however, has not been published until today. It is Průklesť k ladovědě by F. M. Klácel (1808 – 1882). The unpublished work Ladověda was reconstructed most thoroughly in 1983 by Helena Lorenzová, when she published an interpretation of Ladověda with extensive citations in three issues of the magazine Estetika. However, Klácel's manuscript, still stored in the Moravian State Archives, has 856 manuscript pages. Ladovéda represents an indispensable part of Klácel's original grand philosophical conception of universality, which is expressed in the works Dobrovéda, Ladovéda, Vesmérnost (simplistically, one can say that the work Dobrovéda is dedicated to the idea of goodness and love, Ladovéda to beauty, and the work Vesmérnost to truth and science). Klácel understood aesthetics (or krasověda, later ladověda) under the influence of contemporary Hegelianism as a philosophy of art. However, for Klácel, "Lada" is not just beauty, but rather an organizing principle, an order that organizes reality. In Ladoveda, universality is the unity of all ideas - the "all-harmony" that the human spirit is able to recognize. As part of the contribution, we will try to answer the question why Klácel's Ladovéda has never been published, what are the pitfalls of the text and its interpretation, and whether, and if so in what respect, its publication is currently meaningful. |
