This article analyzes and interprets the Slovak philosopher Ján Bodnár’s contributions to the research regarding the history of both global and Slovak philosophy. Bodnár’s published works in this area are divided into three distinct periods, presented, and evaluated. The methodology of the research of philosophical thinking in Slovakia within the context of the social and political development after the Second World War is emphasized. The article highlights the fact that Bodnár always endeavored to avoid “black and white” methodology which was typical for his time. Special attention is given to the issue of so-called “immanent determination” philosophy and the issue of period indoctrination. The article applies the “ad fontes” principle and approach. The conclusion observes that Ján Bodnár’s life’s work is deserving of complex historical-philosophical research.
