During the 1980s, Catholic dissidents in Slovakia constructed divergent modes of moral reasoning. While national democratic Catholic dissidents looked to universal Catholic morality, nationalist Catholic dissidents anchored their moral reasoning in nationalized ethics. Their respective modes of moral reasoning were crucially formed in the making of national Catholic memory. If both appreciated Slovak sovereignty, the former prioritized democracy, human rights, and dialogue across religious and ethnic divides, the latter national independence over democracy. This in turn determined how and when they pursued Slovak cultural and political sovereignty across the boundary of 1989.

被逮捕的辩证法：斯洛伐克的民族历史和（后）持不同政见的天主教道德推理


在 1980 年代，斯洛伐克的天主教持不同政见者构建了不同的道德推理模式。当民族民主的天主教持不同政见者寻求普遍的天主教道德时，民族主义的天主教持不同政见者将他们的道德推理建立在民族化的道德之上。他们各自的道德推理模式在形成全国天主教记忆的过程中至关重要。如果说两者都欣赏斯洛伐克的主权，那么前者优先考虑民主、人权以及跨越宗教和种族分歧的对话，后者则优先考虑民族独立而不是民主。这反过来又决定了他们如何以及何时跨越 1989 年的边界追求斯洛伐克的文化和政治主权。
