A student of Husserl and Heidegger, he had been arrested, along with young playwright Václav Havel, for publicly opposing the hypocrisy of the Czechoslovak Communist regime. Pato?ka had dedicated himself as a philosopher to laying the groundwork of what he termed a "life in truth."This book analyzes Pato?ka's philosophy and political thought and illuminates the synthesis in his work of Socratic philosophy and its injunction to "care for the soul." In bridging the gap, not only between Husserl and Heidegger, but also between postmodern and ancient philosophy, Pato?ka presents a model of democratic politics that is ethical without being metaphysical, and transcendental without being foundational. 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 676 $a199/.437 700 $aFindlay$b Edward F.$f1965-$01804913 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963465303321 996 $aCaring for the soul in a postmodern age$94353215 997 $aUNINA
