<p>Patočka’s phenomenology engages in the exploration of the truth of the world and concrete human existence. While acknowledging the merits of their thoughts, Patočka also critiques the absolute subjectivity and consciousness of Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology and the incompleteness and negativity of Heidegger’s existentialism. Drawing from their influence, Patočka introduces the concept of the natural world, emphasizing the world’s concreteness and practicality. At the core of Patočka’s philosophy lies the belief that human existence is profoundly rooted in our embodiment, moods, and the dynamic interplay of home-world and alien-world. These elements signify both our inherent limitations and our capacity for transcendence. He argues that embodiment is fundamental to the two dimensions of human existence: the intricate interaction between freedom and necessity within the world. In relation to Husserl and Heidegger, Patočka’s phenomenological approach is characterized by a creative interpretation that upholds the problematic nature of their philosophies while striving to transcend them conceptually, remaining faithful to their core ideas.</p>
