Abstract
Summary whose main period of creativity lies in the time between the two World Wars. Ever since his youth, Orel had been politically and journalistically active, and he repeatedly fell afoul of the Austria’s Christian Social Party and the Catholic Church. His uncompromising moralistic concepts and sketches regarding a strictly anti-capitalist Catholic social order pushed him institutionally, as well as discursively, to the verges of the Catholic intellectual milieu. At the same time, his determined anti-modernist and anti-democratic attitude facilitated bridge building with Austria’s Marxist and Socialist ideologues. This article prompts and encourages the assumption of new perspectives regarding Orel’s biography, on the basis of biographical-historical resources and research. In this way it becomes clear how Orel, in spite of his political and academic marginalisation, attracted admirers by means of his orthopraxy in his way of life and, thus, had a significant effect on others.
