I am an assistant professor in philosophy at the University of Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic. 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 2022 I published a monograph, The Single-Minded Animal: Shared Intentionality, Normativity, and the Foundations of Discursive Cognition.

Over the last few years, I've been constructing a set of categories through which to frame an understanding of two extended events as part of a single process: the natural evolution of the nervous system in its sensory, central, and motor moments, and the socio-historical development of the ideas of the Beautiful, the True, and the Good.
As I read our discipline’s history, philosophers have been (perhaps without knowing it) working at this project for generations – at least since Kant thought to ask “what can I know, what ought I do, and what may I hope?”. An effort in categorial critique and revision of this sort opens up a view on which philosophy – conceived as the study of Peirce’s “normative sciences” of aesthetics, logic, and ethics – is the self-conscious motor for the socio-historical side of this natural-cum-social development.
