Sommario/riassunto

This book further qualifies the postcolonial thesis and shows its limits. To reach these goals, it links text analysis and political history on a global comparative scale. Focusing on imperial agents, their narratives of progress, and their political aims and strategies, it asks whether Enlightenment gave birth to a new colonialism between 1760 and 1820. Has Enlightenment provided the cultural and intellectual origins of modern colonialism? For decades, historians of political thought, philosophy, and literature have debated this question. On one side, many postcolonial authors believe that enlightened rationalism helped delegitimize non-European cultures. On the other side, some historians of ideas and literature are willing to defend at least some eighteenth-century philosophers whom they consider to have been "anti-colonialists". Surprisingly enough, both sides have focused on literary and philosophical texts, but have rarely taken political and social practice into account.

This book of proceedings is about the health promotion and health protection in the Czech Republic and abroad. It summarises the findings from more than forty authors´ research who participated at the interdisciplinary conference Life in Health 2021, which took place on 9 and 10 September 2021 at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. The conference was held by the Department of Physical Education and Health Education of the Faculty. The conference focused on health promotion and health protection research, projects and progammes in this area and related educational aspects. In terms of content, the conference was relatively broad and provided space for topics relating to holistic health promotion and protection and health education. This included research-based and theoretical knowledge of educational, healthcare, medical, psychological and social disciplines, thus combining the perspectives of various specialists in the area. The papers published in this book of proceedings represent both general and specific approaches to the promotion of public health, and can be adequately used in the education of children as well as the general population.
