“…Chvatik traces the development of the idea of the solidarity of the shaken, tying it to the experience of the intelligentsia in the Prague Spring of 1968. He notes that Patočka had not then formulated his concept of ‘the solidarity of the shaken, but spoke about a solidarity able to change the world’ (Chvatik 1992, 165). However this view was too idealistic, and the failures of the Prague Spring led Patočka to reconsider idealistic and material forces as a result of self-introspection, and reactions to persecution generated through a process of ‘shaking’.…”

“…These experts continue to draw his work into mainstream theoretical debates concerned, for the most part, with the tension between ethics and politics (Skilling 1981; Shanks 1995; Lom 1999; Findlay 2002; Tucker 2000). Others, formerly or currently based within the Czech Republic, such as Erazim Kohák, Ivan Chvatik or Martin Palouš, have spent many years refining their own philosophical work, drawing explicitly on the legacy of Patočka (Kohák 1989; Palouš 1990; Chvatik 1992). Moreover, some Patočkian ideas have been touched upon in recent work on philosophy and political theory, particularly evident in the exegeses of Richard Rorty, Jacques Derrida and Paul Ricoeur (Rorty 1991; Derrida 1996; Ricoeur 1996).…”

This article argues that the contributions of the Czech philosopher, Jan Patočka, have been overlooked in the study of International Relations (IR), and more generally international political theory. Attention here is drawn to the many distinctive ideas particular to Patočkian philosophy, such as the solidarity of the shaken and the care of the soul, which combine accounts of a Central European philosophy and dissident political reactions to totalitarian rule. The legacy of Patočka's work frames the latter part of the article, which examines Central European identity and 'samizdat' as often neglected reference points in IR. The article concludes by drawing these themes together in an account of rupture, inspired by the solidarity of the shaken and care for the soul.
