PETR PRÁŠEK

 Dr. Petr Prášek is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Contemporary Continental Philosophy of the CAS. He received his Ph.D. in 2019 from Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne and Charles University in Prague (supervisors: prof. R. Barbaras, prof. M. Petříček). His thesis, Le devenir-autre de l'existence. Essai sur la phénoménologie contemporaine, was awarded the Bolzano Prize by the president of Charles University in 2020. A revised version was published by Hermann in 2023.

His other publications include, in particular, a monograph on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (Human in the Mad Becoming of the World: Gilles Deleuze’s Philosophy, 2018) and a number of articles on contemporary French phenomenology. All these texts deal with the analysis of the becoming-other of human existence. In his current project, P. Prášek extends his research and focuses on the ethical implications of dynamic descriptions of existence: he attempts to apply the results of research of contemporary phenomenology in France to current issues such as ecological questions.
