Once Upon a Time of Transition is a journey through four decades in
the career of a Czech dissident and diplomat reflecting on
transitions from the 20th to the 21st century. A meaningful
contribution to on-going public debates, and to a better
understanding of our current political situation, Ambassador Martin
Palous explores the uncertain territory between philosophy and
politics. Directly or indirectly, his texts were inspired by three
great Central European thinkers of the 20th century, Hannah Arendt,
Jan Pato?ka and Eric Voegelin. At stake is the classical Socratic
question concerning the "common good" that they all raised in their
investigations of the human condition -- the question that
Aristotle held to direct all our actions whether we adhere to some
form of metaphysics or theology, or subscribe to the post-modern
nihilism so fashionable these days.
