The Selected Writings of Jan Patočka
Jan Patocka’s contribution to phenomenology and the philosophy of history mean that he is considered one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Yet, his writing is not widely available in English and the Anglophone world remains rather unfamiliar with his work.

The Natural World as a Philosophical Problem

Joining Vaclav Havel and Jiri Hajek as a spokesman for the Cha…
Body, community, language, world
Patocka, like few others before or since, combined what was best in Husserl and Heidegger, but at the same time found for himself a distinct, original philosophical voice.

This volume is an excellent introduction to …

On the Principle of Scientific Conscience
Opinions concerning the essence of science, its significance, and its value vary profoundly with one's philosophical orientation. These questions have to do with those deep, eternal, and probably unanswerable questions about what we know about the meaning of truth; questions which reappear as man in the course of history takes account of himself, of the ways of his facticity, and of the possibilities for his freedom. Fortunately though, if we are…
