Description:
This article aims to commemorate the lifelong work of Harry Harlow (31.10. 1905 – 6. 12. 1981) on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his death. Although Harry Harlow is best known mainly for his experiments with maternal separation and social isolation, his research in the field of cognitive abilities of primates also received great scientific acclaim. The results of his work contributed to the revolution in childcare as well as to the shift in the prevailing approaches of psychology, but the ethics of his experiments is questionable from the contemporary point of view. and Článek připomíná celoživotní dílo Harryho Harlowa (31. 10. 1905 – 6. 12. 1981) u příležitosti 40. výročí jeho úmrtí. Ačkoli se Harry Harlow zapsal do povědomí zejména svými experimenty s mateřskou separací a sociální izolací, velkého vědeckého ohlasu se dočkal i jeho výzkum kognitivních schopností primátů. Výsledky jeho práce přispěly k revoluci v péči o děti i k posunu v převládajících směrech psy-chologie, jeho experimenty jsou však z dneš-ního pohledu etiky psychologického výzkumu velmi problematické.

Language:
Czech
Description:
Historik Václav Chaloupecký (1882-1951) je dnes podle recenzentky do značné míry opomíjenou osobností - v českých zemích je přehlížen, protože zásadní roky své kariéry strávil na Slovensku, a na Slovensku je zase odmítán pro svůj "čechoslovakistický" výklad slovenských dějin. V historiografii je zapomenut, protože se jeho texty jeví z dnešního pohledu jako zastaralé. Jeho biografie z pera mladého historika Milana Ducháčka dle recenzentky nenaplňuje zcela své ambice. Chaloupeckého aktivity totiž nejsou dostatečně zasazeny do dobového kontextu, interpretace jeho díla překračuje meze popisnosti jen v několika pasážích a více než analýzou je chronologickou deskripcí, a kniha také vykazuje některá formální pochybení, komplikující četbu. Přesto však obsáhlá práce prozrazuje důkladnou znalost Chaloupeckého osobnosti a díla, profesionální erudici i literární talent autora., The historian Václav Chaloupecký (1882-1951) is, according to the reviewer, a largely forgotten figure today - in the country of his birth he is ignored because he spent the important years of his career in Slovakia, and in Slovakia he is dismissed for his "Czechoslovakist" interpretation of Slovak history. Historians have forgotten him because his work now seems outdated. According to the reviewer, his biographer, the historian Milan Ducháček, does not quite archieve his aims: He has failed to place Chaloupecký´s activities sufficiently into the context of his time; the interpretation and analysis of Chaloupecký´s work rarely go beyond mere description, and chronological description at that; moreover, the book suffers from problems of structure, making it unnecessarily difficult to read. None the less, this large work displays a thorough knowledge of Chaloupecký, the man and his works, and also the professional erudition and literary skill of its author., [autor recenze] Antonie Doležalová, and Obsahuje bibliografii a bibliografické odkazy

28. Ignác Cornova a jeho biografie Bohuslava Hasištejnského z Lobkovic

Language:
Czech
Description:
The varied and contradictory perception of the personality and work of Bohuslav of Lobkowicz and Hassenstein in the early modern period was symbolically crowned in the Enlightenment by Ignaz Cornova’s biography, which is still the most comprehensive work dedicated to Hassenstein. After a brief recapitulation of research and the state of knowledge before Cornova, the study examines his approach to the material and the main substantive and formal features of his biography. Older Latin literature dealing with humanism plays an important role, as do contemporary models from the European literatures of the Enlightenment. Cornova’s work partly follows the traditional chronological approach, but several timeless chapters emerge from it, driven both by an interest in Bohuslav as an individual and by a desire to make a purposeful pedagogical impact on the reader. His aim was to present a rounded and engaging picture of Hassenstein’s life and literary output, based on his surviving works, especially his poems and correspondence, tastefully and without distracting remarks and comments. Ludwig Schubart, for example, with his biography of the German humanist Ulrich von Hutten, could have been a model for him in this respect. Brief mention is also made of the critical reviews of Cornova’s work, which he himself deals with in the preface to Hassenstein’s biography. A separate section is devoted to a comparison of the selection of poems translated by Cornova and his contemporaries Thám, Vinařický and Budík. Although the biography was considered Cornova’s most important work in his lifetime, was cited and received positive feedback, it is not very useful for contemporary research, unlike the works of Josef Truhlář, who was a few decades younger. From a scholarly point of view it falls short of contemporary demands and as a literary work is even more outdated, although (or perhaps because) it reflected the literary trends of the time.
