The focus on the world and nature in phenomenology has come to the center of attention in investigations and represents one of the most promising fields in contemporary research, a convenient to engage in a fruitful dialogue with other – natural or human – sciences. Facu Humanities currently realizes an international research project on cosmology and phenomeno “Fink and French Phenomenology”, directed by Hans Rainer Sepp at the FHS UK and Alexander Bergische University Wuppertal, supported by the Czech Science Foundation, Nr. 21-23337J, Forschungsgmeinschaft, 2021-2023). This project is also personally connected to the resear the Czech Academy of Sciences “Face of Nature in the French Phenomenology”, supported by t Foundation, Nr. 21-22224S, 2021-2024, directed by Karel Novotný who recently published a b Leib in this field of research. One of the most recent advancements of contemporary phenom theories of the world is the development of a systematic eco- or more precisely oikologica that is elaborated by Hans Rainer Sepp at the Faculty of Humanities. He is editor of the f contributions to this field of research: Natur und Kosmos, Nordhausen 2020, Phänomenologie Würzburg 2020, Wohnen als Weltverhältnis. Eugen Fink über den Menschen und die Physis, Fre ecological approach in phenomenology stresses the importance of our bodily installation in finding a home in the world and deploying a bodily environment that is living space of dwe the world as the place of our dwelling is not only a horizon, but reveals our interconnect other living beings and the finite materiality of the environment we dwell in. The oikolog could thus be brought into a fruitful discussion with other ecological advances in contemp human sciences. The latest research in this field calls for new ecological approaches of o world (eg. Bruno Latour on Face ? Ga?a 2015, O? atterir? 2018; Timothy Morton on Dark Ecol phenomenology has to offer conceptual and heuristical resources in order for new developme light. More precisely, the proposed research project aims at developing a phenomenological concep elemental and describing the elemental nature of appearing. By the elemental nature of app refer to an inherent phenomenological materiality that makes up the very fabric of appeari sense, the elemental is at the same time a characteristic of the world and the environment material and consubstantial embeddedness of the self in nature. In this project we will st historical occurrences of the notion of the elemental in order to dig out the field of pro notion makes visible. The historical research will then serve for an original contribution of the elemental nature of appearing. We will focus on an eco-logical and an aesthetic app inherent phenomenological materiality that we understand as a concrete materiality and we it from an abstract concept of materiality implied by natural sciences, the mathematizatio thinking in functions and prospects. Aims: Development of a phenomenological notion of the elemental as concrete materiality of the a world and the embodied self. Engaging in a dialogue with contemporary ecological approache the phenomenological significance of an aesthetic approach to nature.

C theories attempt to explain how sexual interests and dyadic (normophilic as well as unusua clinically relevant) behavioral patterns develop. They usually propose a framework based o of both biological factors, such as genetic predispositions or brain alterations, and lear life events, or epigenetic activations (Bailey et al., 2016; Pfaus, 2012). Neurodevelopmen sexuality describe a gradual course of development from innate preferences and behavioural the formation of specific preferences and aversions to sexual partners, objects and intima various learning processes occurring both during general social activities and sexual expe in this area is, however, weak, with many knowledge gaps. The implementation of evolutiona models such as the adaptive calibration model (del Giudice et al. 2011) might help to dete kinds of early life formative experiences as well as the neural and endocrine mechanisms t underlie this process. Moreover, one of the underexplored topics is the development of the connect sexuality and the process of dyad formation, which is a matter of normal early chi pubertal development. Three levels of childhood experience with social and dyadic behavior are relevant for the development of this ability and functional, non-disrupted dyadic inti in adulthood:1) behaviour of closed others towards children, 2) social networks and relati children, and 3) social behaviour, social learning and social skills of the children. We currently offer a Postdoc position where the candidate would focus on the role of child in the development of sexual interests, adult intimate behaviour and relationship function mapping the factors influencing adult intimate relationship functioning using Czech nation questionnaire data focused on early life sexual and romantic experiences; b) exploring ass between age-typical social behavioural patterns, dyadic relationships and social skills in 7, 10 and 13 years using recordings of children´s social interactions (including video and recordings); c) testing the associations between childhood experiences, and later sexual i behaviors and brain/hormonal responses in intimate contexts in a sample of individuals wit sexual interests and dyadic intimate behaviours. The researcher will work with the data previously obtained by Faculty of Humanities in coo National Institute of Mental Health. He or she is also expected to suggest and organise fu studies. Specific requirements set by the Department of Psychology and Life Sciences FHS UK: We expect that our new colleague will be able to work independently and will bring new exp to our team. She or he should have a reasonable experience with the advanced techniques of and qualitative methods of psychology-related data obtained from longitudinal questionnair psychophysiology measurements and behavioral observations.

Anthropological Studies program (formerly known as the Department of General Anthropology) anthropology is understood as a philosophical investigation of paradigms of humanity in th intellectual tradition. Special attention is dedicated to a certain turn in the way man wa launching an „era of anthropology“, with its insistence on a better understanding of who w beings. A significant part of this new paradigm was a transformation of first philosophy, as under tradition. Instead of cosmology, theology or general ontology, the focus now shifted towar – not as a study of the soul, but an investigation of embodied subjectivity. On the one ha for the conditions of possibility of our being-in-the world was supposed to find the golde scepticism and dogmatism, and on the other hand, to avert the danger of a radical refusal philosophical grounding brought about by empiricism and materialism. The project announced by the Anthropological Studies program is thus focused on the philos Nietzsche. The aim of the project does not cover the full complexity of Nietzsche’s notori concepts (Übermensch, the Eternal Return, etc.), however, its significance in the context anthropology is beyond doubt. What are the reasons behind and the consequences of Nietzsch three traditional candidates for first philosophy (cosmology, theology and ontology)? What of this situation on the value of a philosophical life (how the philosopher appears to non himself and to other philosophers)? To what extent is Nietzsche’s turn to psychology based of Descartes, especially on the Cartesian conception of thought itself as immediate consci What is the relationship between Nietzsche’s definition of the will to power and the light analogy in On the Genealogy of Morals? Nietzsche’s treatment of the noble and the base or or Nietzsche’s treatment of pleasure and pain as “epiphenomena” is yet another problem rel topic. The goals of the project correspond to the research interests of the Anthropological Studi However, there is also a clear connection between the project and the Philosophy in the Co Humanities study program, too. The project might also be of great help to several disserta which are currently being supervised. Texts published as part of this project can also be Individualism in Czechoslovak Philosophy 1918-1948 GAČR project.
