The contributors to this volume shed light on the unique value of Patocka’s asubjective phenomenology in the context of his entire oeuvre. Each original contribution highlights the importance of Patocka’s historical engagement with phenomenology and modern thinking. Patocka’s significance to phenomenology has largely gone unrecognised in the English- speaking world, a lacuna that this volume redresses.
