Petr cek is one of our most beloved intellectuals. He is, in a sense, a popular philosopher, someone who is not afraid to translate himself and his ideas for the public arena. This, however, does not mean that he trivializes philosophical issues; instead, he realizes that it is important to shift his perspective, so he can speak about them a bit differently. --Petr Fischer Pr vo The author's masterful erudition across the broadest of spectrums is clear from the book's initial juxtaposition, and the unified interpretation that follows, of Doctor Fu Manchu and Edmund Husserl's Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology. . . . I cannot question the success of his investigation. --Karel Thein, student of Jacques Derrida and professor in the Department of Philosophy in Religion at Charles University, Prague
