Description The text is focused on the acceptance and perception of Darwinism in 19th-century Bohemia, connected with two professors of aesthetics, J. Durdík and O. Hostinský. This text presents and compares both aesteticians interpretations of Darwinism, mainly their stance on the theory of natural selection. As a supplement, a short emphasis on Darwins teaching in texts of other Czech aestheticians (Tyrš, Klácel, Volek) follows.
