Jan Patocka (1907–1977), born in then Czechoslovakia, was one of the last students of both Husserl and Heidegger. He was barred from teaching by the Czech government from 1951 to 1968 and then again from 1972 until his death. He lectured at the so-called Underground University, but was for the most part unable to publish, although he did circulate typescripts of his writings. Some of his major works have been translated into English, including The Natural World as a Philosophical Problem (2016), An Introduction to Husserl’s Phenomenology (1996), Plato and Europe (2002), and Heretical Essays in the Philosophy of History (1996).
