Professor Martin Muránsky is independent researcher at the Institute of Philosophy
Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. His research interests include contemporary anthropology and practical philosophy. Submitted by monograph is an overview analysis of of the very interesting philosophical development of the world-famous philosopher, born in Brno, whose voluminous work is almost an example of the remarkable development of a thinker who begins thinking on the ontological premise phenomenological and slowly transitions to a completely opposite ontology, i.e. to the new positivist roots. His last works are anthropological in nature, where Ernst Tugendhat starts from a scientific position, which phenomenology criticizes.
