Life[edit]

Stanislav Komárek was born on 6 August 1958 in Jindřichův Hradec, but he comes from Kardašova Řečice. He attended the Gymnasium in Jindřichův Hradec, where he graduated in 1977. He continued his studies at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Charles University in Prague, where he received the degree of RNDr.[2] He was a candidate at the Institute of Parasitology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.

In 1983, he immigrated to Austria, where he worked at the Natural History Museum in Vienna, at the Ministry of Agriculture and at the Zoological Institute of the University of Vienna. During his stay in Vienna, he also worked together with the so-called Altenber circle for the philosophy and history of natural sciences. At the same time, he devoted himself to the intensive study of the German autonomist school in biology and similar topics  in ethology and anthropology (especially the study of the works of Adolf Portmann, Konrad Lorenz, Jakob Uexküll and others). As part of this study, he was an assistant at the Department of Theoretical Biology of the Zoological Institute in the University of Vienna and the Konrad Lorenz Institute in Altenberg.[3]
