I'm a professor of philosophy at Masaryk University (Brno, the Czech Republic) where I teach courses on formal (mathematical) logic, non-classical logics, philosophical logic, logic and computing/AI, informal logic (incl. critical thinking). My recent research is focussed on type theory (a higher-order logic) that deals with partial functions and quantification over computations. I also investigate applications of the type theory in philosophical logic (epistemic and semantical paradoxes, modality, existential generalisation, substitution, ...) and theory of natural language processing (hyperintensional meanings, propositional attitudes/belief sentences, ...). |
