Type: article
Abstract: The Latin language formed an essential component that conveyed the image of antiquity in the secondary schools of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Latin was one of the most controversial topics in the context of secondary school reform. A heated debate stirred up about its limitations within secondary education. This dispute polarized the defenders and opponents of classical languages. Therefore, this study aims to reconstruct, through a critical discourse analysis, how Latin was perceived, how it was discussed and what place was attributed to it by the different parties. The author places the topic in the context of interwar period in the Czechoslovak Republic and the reform of the secondary school. The work is based on the critical study of contemporary periodicals, documents and literature. This thesis can contribute to an assessment of the place of antiquity in present secondary education and, by extension, of the humanities education overall.
