| Description | The author of the present study deals with philological concept of Matija Murko embodied in his two of his studies going back to the end of the 19th century. One concerns the beginnings and the genesis of the Russian novel and was published as a habilitation lecture at Vienna University, the other represents a huge material connected with Jan Kollárs 100 anniversary and demonstrates his concept of Slavonic reciprocity/solidarity. The permanence of Murkos concept of the Russian novel consists in his consistent philological approach (comparative Indo-European linguistics) applied to literature. It helps him to grasp nearly all substantial sources of this phenomenon coming from the European West through Poland with the background of older Czech influence, on the other hand it cannot lead him to a more profound understanding of the creative potentiality of the genre without taking into account its aesthetic roots which the author of the present study called “prae-post effect” or “prae-post paradox”. Murkos sober, rational and sceptical view of Kollárs activity, his search for the roots of German idealistic philosophy in his work and “die deutsche Romantik” as a primary source of his Slavonic concepts contributes to the formation of Slavonic studies as a flexible, open, humanistic scholarly discipline which keeps its inspiring significance even nowadays. |
