Biography

I am an assistant professor in philosophy at the University of Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic. I am also an adjunct instructor at Montana State University, Park University, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I work in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, and metaphysics, informed by a reading of German and American philosophy in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition, I am an education researcher with Studium Consulting, and I designed, pitched, and ran a course on Aristotelian virtue, Kantian autonomy, and cognitive behavioral therapy at the Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh in 2016-17. I have since done the same for courses in philosophy with middle school and high school students in Pennsylvania, Montana, and the Czech Republic.

This essay contextualizes the contributions to the volume by 1) considering them against the background of recent developments in philosophy and the sciences focused on understanding the social foundations of human cognition, and 2) situating this work within a line of intellectual development in the history of philosophy centered on understanding human beings as norm-governed rational animals.
