Abstract: A philosopher and teacher, F. M. (Ladimir) Klacel (1808-1882), educated in what is now the Czech Republic, developed his own explanation for the origin and interaction of living organisms. Klácel, a member of the Augustinian Monastery in Brno, influenced his younger colleague, Friar Gregor Mendel, who went on to formulate concepts in heredity that are still recognized for their profound insight. A mutual interest in the natural sciences of these two friends provided a basis for their discussions of the relationship between religion, evolution, and society. Klacel's outspoken defense of his proposals caused him to lose favor with both the Church and the authorities, and he immigrated to America in 1869. His failing health and inability to communicate with the English-speaking populace, unfortunately, limited his influence in his new environs. In this paper we trace the roots of Klacel's philosophy and elucidate his incorporation of ideas from Hegel, Darwin, and others. An investigation of Klacel's recipe for a successful society reveals his belief in the universality of life and his optimistic hope for human achievement.
哲学家兼教师F. M.（弗拉基米尔）·克拉采尔（1808 - 1882）在如今的捷克共和国接受教育，他对生物的起源与相互作用提出了自己的解释。克拉采尔是布尔诺奥古斯丁修道院的成员，他影响了年轻的同事修士格雷戈尔·孟德尔，孟德尔后来提出的遗传概念至今仍因其深刻见解而被认可。这两位朋友对自然科学的共同兴趣为他们探讨宗教、进化与社会之间的关系提供了基础。克拉采尔对自己提议的直言不讳的辩护使他在教会和当局都失宠，1869年他移民到了美国。不幸的是，他日益衰弱的健康状况以及无法与说英语的民众交流，限制了他在新环境中的影响力。在本文中，我们追溯克拉采尔哲学的根源，并阐明他对黑格尔、达尔文等人思想的融合。对克拉采尔关于成功社会的构想的研究揭示了他对生命普遍性的信仰以及对人类成就的乐观期望。
