No full textThe following article is a case study on the relationship between expertise and political de-cision-making in the “Eastern Bloc.” It focuses on the attempt to reform state socialism, which took place in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. This effort was linked to the extensive involvement of experts in the policy-making of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCz). Using the example of the research on the “Scientific and Technological Revolu¬tion” (STR), headed by philosopher Radovan Richta, this article examines the close ties between high politics and knowledge production in state socialism. This article analyzes the STR project from the perspective of the intellectual history of Reform Communism and situates the STR theory in a broader context of post-Stalinist political thought. In its second part this study examines how the STR research team was established. This in¬stitutional history shows that the STR project was not only the result of intellectual and political aspirations of reform-oriented intellectuals, but also emerged as a consequence of the attempt of the Party leadership to revitalize its central ideology apparat. The efforts to update the official ideology, in order to react to the demise of Stalinism and to promote new economic policies, resulted in the establishment of an intellectually innovative and internationally acclaimed research project, which provided a theoretical background for far-reaching reform policies of the Prague Spring era

No full textThe article deals with the complicated political situation in Silesia, specifically Breslau (Wrocław) in the middle of the fifteenth century. During this period, all submissive counties had to swear the oath of allegiance to King George of Bohemia, “king of heretics” as he was dubbed by Frederick G. Heymann. One canon of the Breslau cathedral, Nikolaus Tempelfeld (ca. 1400-1474), vehemently agitated against this, trying successfully to influence public opinion in the city. He wrote elaborate treatises on the theme of why George, an evident heretic, could not be king, claiming that it was impossible for truly Catholic people to accept him as a king. We know of three or four treatises by Tempelfeld, all in Latin. One of them was translated by the well-known Breslau town clerk Peter Eschenloer (ca. 1420-1481). Both the author and his translator are briefly introduced, and the German treatise is edited and commented
