About the Author and Translator
Bernard Bolzano: A New Evaluation of His Thought and His Circle is a valuable contribution which helps to gain a better understanding of the foundations of the Catholic modernist movement and place it within the European historical context.
— Rudolf Grulich, director of the Institute for Church History of Bohemia-Moravia-Silesia
This book represents a welcome contribution to the broader study of the Enlightenment in Central Europe. It adds a deeper understanding of the intellectual legacy of the Catholic Enlightenment in its late phase and contributes new facts and a new perspective for understanding the Czech spiritual environment of the first half of the nineteenth century while at the same time carefully enlightening Bolzano's thought and circle.
— Rudolf Svoboda, University of South Bohemia
