Abstract
This discussion study addresses the ontological and ethical questions that can be found in Myšlení a tvorba Egona Bondyho (The Thought and Creative Work of Egon Bondy), edited by Petr Kužel. This is the first monograph dedicated to the work of this original thinker.
In the introductory part, I deal with the reasons that led to Bondy's work being neglected up to this point in time by those who interpret philosophy. In the second part, I summarize the axiological and logical arguments put forward by the authors of the section of the book concerned with ontology, which should show that Bondy's abandonment of the category of substance was justified.
Then I explore two possible objections to the axiological justification of a non-substantial ontology and an objection to its logical justification. Nonetheless, in all parts of the study I show that Bondy anticipated a number of the principal themes of contemporary ontology and the theory of artificial intelligence, which have figured, for example, in the work of Slavoj Žižek or Nick Bostrom.
In the closing part, I formulate some topics that, I believe, further research on Bondy should focus on.
