Abstract
Based on an analysis of the theory of the movement of existence, this paper answers the following question: Where can one see the most important connections of philosophical and religious language in the most re-thought part of Jan Patočkaʼs thinking? The third movement of life is seen as a form of the true philosophical life, but also as a form with metaphysical responsibility. The movement of breakthrough, or actual self-comprehension, is the most important, because it leads to care for the soul—and, according to Patočkaʼs analyses of interpretations of the Faust legend, it leads to care for the true immortality of soul. In the third movement of life, one lives an unsheltered life in openness to all which is not given and cannot be given, which is beyond all objective identification, and yet determines this world. In response to the mission in time (kairos), on the way to “asubjective” openness of the soul, in a dialogue which searches for truth and resists temptation, one can still find metaphysical responsibility and freedom.

I want to ask the following question: Where can one see the most important connections of philosophical and religious language in the most re-thought 2 part of Jan Patočkas thinking, in his theory of the movement of existence, in his theory of the movements of life? The aim of this article is not to mention all of Patočkas themes that are of interest in theological or religious thought, but rather to reflect on the meaning of philosophical and religious language in Patočkas theory of the movement of existence, the vivid movement mentioned above
The beginnings of the theory of movement of existence were already interpreted several times:—Rezek noted Patočkas study about movement marked the beginning of the theory of the movement of existence which was Patočkas doctoral dissertation “Aristotelés, jeho předchůdci a dědicové,” first published in 1964 with comeniological texts

Based on an analysis of the theory of the movement of existence, this paper answers the following question: Where can one see the most important connections of philosophical and religious language in the most re-thought part of Jan Patočkas thinking? The choice of the word “inspired” is deliberate since as a teacher, Jan Patočka encouraged his students to be authentic, to think and to live authentically They were not meant to copy their teacher but to live with their own responsibility. I want to ask the following question: Where can one see the most important connections of philosophical and religious language (and thoughts) in the most re-thought 2 part of Jan Patočkas thinking, in his theory of the movement of existence, in his theory of the movements of life? Tomáš Halík, a former student of Jan Patočka, refers here to Charles Taylor’s call for the necessity of interpreting Christian terms in a new way
