J.M. (RNDr in maths, Charles University, Prague; PhD Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague) teaches philosophy at Purkynje University in Usti nad Labem (Czech Republic) and has a research position at Charles University, Prague. His interests are divided between ancient philosophy (Socrates, Plato, scepticism), modern philosophy (Descartes, Hume, Kant, reception of scepticism), phenomenology (late Husserl, early Heidegger, Patocka) and contemporary stuff inspired mainly by John Searle (theory of institutions, philosophy of mind) and Ernst Tugendhat. He co-authored a book on modern philosophy (in Czech) and translated into Czech works by Hume, Kant, Husserl, Tugendhat and Searle. Before Berkeley, he was a visiting lecturer at King’s College, London.
