Karel Kosík
June 26, 1926 – February 21, 2003
A critic of modern society and a neomarxist philosopher, in his most famous work, Dialectics of the Concrete, he presented an original synthesis of Martin Heidegger's phenomenology and the ideas of Young Marx. His later essays offer a sharp critique of contemporary society from a left-conservative position. He uniquely connected philosophical traditions and applied them to the analysis of the modern world.
