Knowledge Transfer in Context of Non-dominant National Movement: Case Study of Slovak Intellectual Elite's Discourse 1867-1918

Philosophical and social thinking in Europe of the second half of the nineteenth century was influenced significantly by the impact of the scientific research, especially by the results of natural science's development. A search for an appropriate way of a coping with the impulses of new ideas affected also thinking of Slovak intellectuals. There were different approaches in Slovak national movement to the new scientific theories and to science-oriented worldview. There were present open-minded worldviews, an inclination to protection of “old” values and traditions, as well as a tendency to balance between tradition and modernity. My question of interest is in which way were these new ideological impulses incorporated or rejected in the worldview and in the cultural concepts of the Slovak intellectual elites?
