Gerald Robert Ostdiek

Gerald Ostdiek holds a PhD in philosophy of science with a dissertation in the philosophical entailments of Darwinian Biology, a MA in philosophy of religion with a thesis in the function of myth and symbols in the generation of meaning, and a BA in theatre education. He has been teaching at Charles University in Prague for over two decades, and at various times in his previous life he travelled and worked teaching English in various nations and has also earned his living in the theatre. His research interests are focused on the radical continuity (synechism) between biological, epistemological, and psychosocial semiotics – how living things ‘make meaning’, and how we make the interpretations make us.
