Philosophical Institute

Philosophical Institute

The Philosophical Institute, Olomouc was a college associated with the University of Olomouc (now reestablished as Palacký University).

It offered a two-year programme of studies for students who had finished "Gymnasium" and wished to attend university. Its teachers were mainly members of the Augustinian order. Apart from pure philosophy, its curriculum included theology, Latin literature, and fundamentals of mathematics and physics.

Gregor Mendel attended there for a term in 1840, taking a year off through illness, then continuing his studies until 1843, when he began his training as a priest.
