摘要

This article examines the post-Stalinist return to Kant in state-socialist Marxism through the work of Jindřich Zelený, a central figure in Czechoslovak philosophy of the 1960s and 1970s. While Kant had often been associated with revisionist tendencies, Zelený reclaims him as both a precursor of Marx’s practical concept of knowledge and as a philosophical ally in legitimizing non-dialectical, formalizing approaches to science. The article reconstructs Zelený’s notion of onto-praxeology and his critique of both Stalinist dogmatism and Hegelian Marxism. It shows how Zelený’s interpretation of Kant serves two purposes: to secure the anti-metaphysical core of Marx’s materialism and to accommodate the epistemic demands of the scientific-technological revolution.
