Hauser studied philosophy at Charles University in Prague, and completed his dissertation, entitled Modernity and Negativity. Adorno's Perspective, in 2004. His primary fields of interest are critical theory, Western Marxism and Post-Marxism, and their relation to contemporary thought. He mostly deals with materialistic theory ofthe subject, ideas and universalism, praxis, concepts of transition and the theory of spectacular categories. He is a fellow at the Department of Contemporary Continental Philosophy, and also teaches at the Faculty of Education. Since 2005, Hauser has published several academic books. Hauser has made several translations into Czech, including The Ticklish Subject by Slavoj Žižek, and Dialectic of the Enlightenment. He published a number of articles, both academic and popular. In 2004, he founded Socialist Circle, an organization that seeks to reflect and promote contemporary leftist theory in the Czech environment and establish a common basis for interaction between philosophy, sociology, economy and art theory. The association held a number of conferences and public seminars, many of which included Hauser as a speaker, and also published translations of the works of Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière or Slavoj Žižek. Alongside the focus on European philosophy, the association also concentrates on the Czech and Slovak leftist scene. In 2006, Hauser was among the leading figures of the Jsme občané! initiative, a critical public reflection of the shortcomings of liberal democracy in the Czech Republic. His current work includes the development of a materialist theory of the subject alternative to the conceptions of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek, in the sense that it would relate the discussed issues to the tradition of Western Marxism. Hauser also finds inspiration in Czech critical thinking. He first presented his conception in the book Ways out of Postmodernism.
