Daniel D. Novotný, Ph.D.
I am a lecturer in philosophy at St. John's Colleage in
Svatý Jan p. Skalou near Prague and in methodology of sciences and anthropology
at the Czech University of Life Sciences in
Prague. Since March 2010 I am involved in the project “Nature, Landscape, and People Together”
that focuses on environmental and multicultural education in Czech
high-schools. I am also working as a guide in the Mountain Synagogue Hartmanice.
I have earned my PhD in Philosophy at SUNY Buffalo in 2008.
The primary
focus of my research is scholastic metaphysics of the Baroque era but I have
also been involved in various other areas, such as analytical metaphysics,
epistemology, education, philosophical practice, interpretations of Laozi, etc.
Profile: A Bohemian Aristotelophile.
