“…11 Bainton sugerował, że purytanizm nie był szczególnie prokapitalistyczny, zachęcał raczej do aktywności wszelkiego rodzaju, traktując sukces jako znak Boży zapowiadający zbawienie. 12 Wtórował mu Samuelsson, dowodząc, że prokapitalistyczne wypowiedzi purytańskich kaznodziejów były skutkiem tego, że anglosascy biznesmani wstępowali w szeregi kościoła, a nie chciano ich zrażać. Dlatego kaznodzieje naginali swą doktrynę tak, by pasowała ona do mentalności kapitalistów, którzy i tak dążyliby do zysku, a dzięki purytanizmowi nadali swej aktywności pewne zabarwienie religijne.…”

The text describes different philosophical concepts and historically important cultural phenomena that should be considered while rethinking ethical side of business. Broad range of both philosophical (such as the search for the foundations of morality, social contract) and social subjects (such as history of centralized state, individualism) is presented to help the reflections. The background for analysis is the history of culture, especially of primary collective society; contrasted with it is individualism of classical Athens with corresponding reaction of philosophers; development of state and Christianity in Roman Empire; organismic medieval state; Renaissance, reformation and the birth of capitalism; the Enlightenment breakthrough and English capitalism; liberalism and Darwinism of the 19th century; the catastrophe of European culture and success of America of the 20th century.

“…115 He further goes on to state that Luther eventually came to support some of Hus' teachings but implies that it was only grudgingly and with great difficulty, a position which has more limited validity than Bainton would lend it. 116 He does admirably point out the tendency of the Germans to reject Hus simply due to his having been Bohemian, however, and that is well to his credit, as is his admission of the influence of the Hussite doctrine ofutraquism on the German reformers' adoption of the Eucharist in both forms. 117 The Reformation by George L. Mosse is less generous.…”

Will the real Jan Hus please stand up: bias as an element in early reformation historiography

INTRODUCTION Jan Hus was a giant of a man, who stood astride the Moldau, watchful, as the guardian of Prague against the evil satanic conspiracy of the Romish church, during Bohemia's darkest hours. 1 Or, if you prefer, John Huss 2 was an evil homunculus of a man, set loose upon the planet to pave the way for the thousand-year reign of Lucifer and his dark angels. Although the two previous descriptions may seem somewhat farfetched, they represent, if broadly, a problem which faces the researcher into the history of the early reformation. This problem is one of bias, and pervades this particular subject matter in ways and to levels which are not often reached. The subject matter, which has at its heart not only issues of religion, but of nationalism, ethnic identity, and even political idealism has, over the course of the nearly six centuries since the death of Jan Hus, run the gamut of variations of misrepresentation and weak exploration. The nature of the subject, driven as it is by a split within the Catholic church, rooted in the early years of the Protestant reformation, and with participants of virtually every ethnic and national variegation which fifteenth-century Europe had to offer, is inherently divisive in its presentation. It invites parochialism and defensive posturing from even the most seasoned historians. 1 This opening might seem just a bit "over the top" until one reads the opening lines ofMatthew Spinka's John Hus and the Czech Reform. (Hamden: Connecticut, 1966) 2 A forewarning to the reader: hereafter throughout this work, the spelling of Hus' name will be regularized as 'Jan Hus.' Likewise the names of Sbynco, the archbishop of Prague, and Wenzel, the King of Bohemia. • The exception to that regularization will be in the quoted sections, where the spellings chosen by the original writers will be honored, in their many variegations.
