Who I am / What I do
I am a researcher at the Department of Analytical Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. I work mainly in philosophy of language and philosophy of art. I also focus on the history of philosophy. Mostly Kant.
In the philosophy of language and art, I used to work in the theory of meaning and the theory of interpretation. Now I focus on topics where these two disciplines overlap with ethics, such as hate speech, controversial artworks, censorship and free speech.
My main publications include the French monograph La conscience interne de la langue (Limoges: Lambert-Lucas, 2021). The preface was written by Professor Claude Imbert from the École normale supérieure in Paris. Starting with this book, I began to explore ethical issues related to language. I focused my research on questions such as: How can speech hurt?...
How to understand linguistic aggression at all? What are its many forms?
My other publication is The Aesthetic Illusion in Literature and the Arts (Oxford – New York: Bloomsbury, 2017), which I edited and to which I contributed an introduction. The book discusses the phenomenon of immersion in literary and artistic works. In another text, Ethical Flaws in Artworks (JAAC 80, 2022, Oxford University Press), I discuss ethical issues related to controversial art.
I have been three times a visiting scholar at research centres at the École normale supérieure and the CNRS in Paris. Once at the Institut Jean-Nicod, twice at the Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes. At the École normale supérieure in Paris, I was also once an invited professor at the Centre Cavaillès. In addition, I have held study fellowships at the University of Washington in Seattle and St Mary’s University College in London.
I organize international philosophical conferences on art and language in English and French. I was also the main coordinator of a conference on hate speech in the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic.
Since 2020, I have been Deputy Head of the Department of Analytic Philosophy.
