Some Notes on the Introduction of Life Philosophy in Slovak Culture

Abstract

The life philosophy was introduced to the Slovak culture in the early twenties and, during a short period of time, influenced the work of various litterateurs. Nevertheless, up to now the topic remains marginal and less elaborated as it deserves among the Slovak scholars. The present article tries to offer a basic summary of the origin and sources of vitalism in Slovakia as well as briefly interpret its implantation into the Slovak culture, as it occurred in the interwar period.
