Congratulations to David Rozen, who successfully defended his PhD thesis "Clarifying Nature Protection: The Role of Attitudes Towards Nature in Shaping its Forms" on September 30th. David's opponents included Ivo Wallimann-Helmer (uni. of Lausanne) and Olli Lagerspetz (Åbo Akademi University) and he was supported by his supervisor, Ondřej Beran. Their conversation was lively, touching on such topics as Wittgenstein's concept of a form of life and whether the clarification of attitudes might contribute to the resolution of deep disagreements in nature protection.
We are happy to continue having David among us at the University of Pardubice as a member of the philosophy teaching staff and look forward to seeing future developments in his research.
