Whereas for the wider public Jan Patocka is known mainly as a
defender of human rights and one of the first spokespersons of
Charter 77, who died in Prague several days after long
interrogations by secret police of the Communist regime, the
international philosophical community sees in him an important and
inspiring thinker, who in an original way elaborated the great
impulses of European thought - mainly Husserl's phenomenology and
Heidegger's philosophy of existence. Patocka also reflected on
history and the future of humanity in a globalized world and laid
the foundations of an original philosophy of history. His work is a
subject of lively philosophical discussion especially in French and
German-speaking countries, and recently also in Spanish-speaking,
in U.S.A., and in the Far East.
Scholars from around the world who are interested in the
philosophy of Jan Patocka gathered in Prague to commemorate his
centenary and the thirtieth anniversary of his death. The
conference explored the significance of his work and its continuing
influence on contemporary philosophy.
The volume presents selected papers from the conference in
English language.
