Author Biography
Jan Werner
Jan Werner born in 1987, he graduated from the bachelor’s level inter-faculty study
programme in Political Science and Philosophy (2013) of the Faculty of
Social Studies and the Philosophical Faculty of Masaryk University. Then at
the same university, he earned master’s degrees in Political Science (2014)
and Philosophy (2015). In his master’s theses he dealt with the question of
the legitimacy of the polis, citizenship and justice in ancient political
philosophy (the diploma thesis for Political Science), and with criticism of
religion in the work of the American neuroscientist and philosopher Sam
Harris (the diploma thesis for Philosophy). Now he is an internal Ph.D.
student at the Department of Political Science of FSS MU and the
Department of Philosophy of FF MU. He deals primarily with political
philosophy with special regard for antiquity, and also with the issue of
political and social tolerance. At the Department of Philosophy, he focuses
mainly on the philosophical reflection of modern and contemporary
atheism and agnosticism, as well as on mapping of the philosophical
criticism of religion from antiquity to the present.
