cze Společenství Cesty Síly: Jediismus v České republice Článek se zabývá novým náboženským hnutím označovaným jako jediismus v České republice. Teoretická část je postavena na konceptu spirituality, jak jej vyložili P. Heelas a L. Woodhead v knize The Spiritual Revolution (Oxford, Blackwell 2005). Po úvodu a teoretické části následuje pasáž o zdrojích inspirace samotných jediů v jejich religiozitě. Popis soudobé situace v České republice je předmětem další části článku. Následuje analýza výsledků terénního výzkumu, který se zabýval otázkou, zda jediové považují jediismus za náboženství. Ti jej za náboženství nepovažují, protože jej mají spojené s dogmaty a nesvobodou. Poslední část článku se zabývá konceptem Síly a dává jej do širšího kontextu v rámci soudobé české spirituality/religiozity.

eng Fellowship of the Way of Force: Jediism in the Czech Republic This article deals with Fellowship of the Way of Force, which is the only representative of jediism in the Czech Republic. It has been founded in the year 2012 and has 19 members presently. Their members consider jediism as their ?life belief?. Jediism represented by Fellowship of the Way of Force is a typical representative of contemporary postmodern religiousness, often calls as spirituality. Spirituality in this theoretical framework is understood as L. Woodhead and P. Heelas have defined it in their book The Spiritual Revolution (Oxford, Blackwell 2005). This theoretical introduction is followed by a part dealing with two aspects of jediism. One is the inspiration resulting from Star Wars movies and the second is jediism spirituality. There is also open an issue of mythology and its influence on the jediism generally. Afterwards there is a part dealing with the contemporary situation in The Czech Republic, describing the most important influences and movements. Next one is an analysis of the researched question whether the jedis consider jediism as a religion. They do not consider since they are rejecting its institutionalized form and strictly rooted doctrine. There is also the negative opinion of the majority Czech society towards religion in general. Jedis put emphasis on individualistic approach. Jediism as such and also its every follower is taking inspiration from various religions, traditions or techniques. What one likes then include to ?his own jediism?. The last part of this treatise introduces the concept of Force in jediism and put it in the wider connections with recent spirituality in the Czech Republic.
