Abstract
This article analyses Czech textbooks and synthetic texts on the history of political thought in political science education. Using qualitative content and genre analysis, it distinguishes five models in the Czech textbook landscape: the chronological-canonical model, political science-didactic course notes, ideological-theoretical synthesis, philosophical-historical compendium and expansive-cataloguing textbook. The central diagnostic case is the new textbook by Valeš, Květina and Sekerák, which significantly broadens the Czech canon by including non-European traditions, feminism, African political thought, biopolitics, environmentalism and artificial intelligence. The article argues, however, that the expansion of content does not automatically solve the didactic and disciplinary problem. In the modern and contemporary section, the new textbook at times produces a catalogue of authors and themes rather than an interpretative architecture of political problems. The article concludes that Czech political science has moved from a problem of scarcity to a problem of structure.
