Jan Hus Educational Foundation
The Jan Hus Educational Foundation was founded in May 1980 by a group of British philosophers at the University of Oxford. The group operated an underground education network in the former Czechoslovakia, at the time under Communist Party rule, running seminars on philosophy, smuggling in books, and arranging for Western academics to give lectures. It was deemed a "Centre of Ideological Subversion" by the Czech police, and some of the visiting philosophers were arrested or placed on the "Index of Undesirable Persons."〔Barbara Day, ''The Velvet Philosophers'', The Claridge Press, 1999, p. 5.〕
==Background==
The foundation was created after Czech dissident philosopher Julius Tomin, unable at that time to hold a job in a university because of his anti-communist views, wrote in 1978 to four Western universities asking them to support philosophy seminars he was holding in his apartment in Prague; the seminars were known as ''bytové seminảři'' (home seminars). Tomin called his discussion group Jan Patocka University, after the Czech philosopher who died after being interrogated by police in 1977.〔("Prisoners that Moscow tries to hide" ), Associated Press, October 11, 1979.〕
The letter was sent during a period when correspondence from the Eastern bloc was slow and uncertain (one commentator compared it to sending a message in a bottle), and only one letter is known to have arrived at its intended destination, the philosophy sub-faculty at the University of Oxford, one year after it was sent.〔 It was read out to the faculty by William Newton-Smith of Balliol during a meeting in January 1979. Those present voted to send two philosophers to address the seminars, and to offer financial support.〔
