Liberally-oriented Štefan Launer intervened in the complicated Slovak national-identification process of the 1840s, who defined himself in relation to the Štúr´s group by his radical rejection of ...their language reform. He considered that refor a gross distortion of the State (Historic-Hungarian) and the national (Czechslovak) integration. Launer made use of the difficult situation of looking for the most suitable solution of language issues of Slovaks in Historic Hungary to expose his own expertise, his intellectual difts, and his conflicting nature. He developed his own ethno-emancipation theory, through which he not only wanted to attract the representatives of the Lutheran Church in Historic Hungary, but mainly the historic Hungarian political suzerain. The exxence of his concept was that he defined the streamlining of cultural and political modernity in Europe from its western part to its eastern part, while having "entrusted" the global history-forming initiative to four of Western European nations (the Italian, the French, the English, and the German ones), which by virtue of their scholarship and spirit were to revive the Slavic world.
