Abstract(s)
A book of essays written to celebrate an important anniversary of Jiří Gabriel, a teacher of philosophy that the author is heavily indebted to, dealing with various approaches to philosophy and life with philosophy. It is an expression of gratitude for models of conduct and behavior of a man trained in philosophy, critical thinking and rational assessment of life situations, as well as an attempt to sketch traits of Gabriel's personality distinguishing him from various, not always praiseworthy unwritten rules of common life in university society. The work is not meant to be a tract describing, assessing and classifying Gabriel's educated work in institutionalized philosophy, nor does it aspire to be. The times of tracts shall only come and, as usual with tracts, they make living thought something it never was and wished to be. The work is a mere reflexion of forms of Jiří Gabriel's influence on the authors life in the past decades of the author's life; an influence far greater than Jiří Gabriel is aware of.
