"Discussing the War in a Paris Café" (1846-1896), Illustrated London News. Wikicommons/Frederick Barnard. Some rights reserved. The Czech philosopher Jan Patočka, whose work serves as a kind of pivot for the post-Europe project, turns philosophy into a way of life. By describing life as a movement that originates in the instinctual dimensions of human being and extends to the most abstract moments of metaphysical speculation, he presents an ethics based on responsibility and action.
