Abstract(s)
To celebrate Jiří Gabriel's anniversary, the author presents the conception of rationality by Hans Albert, seeing some parallels between the two thinkers. Rationality, as understood by H. Albert, does not just cover a segment of reality. It is capable of sensitive and adequate understanding of all dimensions of the world, life and human life. Rationality is not ethically neutral. It can initiate engaged action to carry out what has been found reasonable. Rationality as a simple methodological principle bridges the illusory abyss between sciences and humanities. Rational discourse is not compatible with religious discourse – viz Albert's dispute with G. Ebeling and H. Küng.
