![]() Jan Patočka, Liberté, existence et monde commun, Nathalie Frogneux (ed.), Paris, Le Cercle Herméneutique, « Collection Phéno », 2012. 306 p. ISBN: 978-2-917957-17-2 http://www.vrin.fr/html/main.htm?action=loadbook&isbn=291795717 This volume (in French) opens with an original text by Jan Patočka (1907-1977), "On the philosophical problem of translation" (1968), translated into French by Erika Abrams. The other contributions all attempt to think human existence and the lifeworld through the extraordinary work of Czech philosopher Jan Patočka. Specialists in phenomenology, philosophy and social policy, anthropology, and aesthetics unfold Patočka's thought here in all its richness and fertility through four central issues: the common world, the critical movement of freedom, the movement of human existence, and history.
