J. L. Fischer in 1945–1948

The article is a contribution to the theme of „Czech Philosophers in 1945–1948“. It concerns the work in which J. L. Fischer further developed his system of hierarchical philosophy as well as his (at the time dominant) pedagogical, lecturing and organiza­tional activities: he was the dean of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University between 1945–1946 and the rector of the new Palacký University in Olomouc between 1946–1949. The article also discusses Fischer´s attempts to influence the contemporary debate on the reform of Czech educational system.
