Who is Katarina Majerhold?

Katarina Majerhold is a Slovenian philosopher with a particular interest in philosophy of emotions, especially in philosophy of love and happiness in connection to immune system, philosophy of clowning, philosophical counseling and ethics.

Majerhold is currently an independent researcher and lecturer of philosophy of emotions. She previously worked at the Slovenian Educational Research Institute where she held the rank of a young researcher/assistant and worked on higher education for many years. In that time she wrote and edited three important books on Slovenian higher education.

In her early career as a philosopher of love she mostly worked on learning of the western concepts of love and which prevailing concept of love each period in history offered. However, this does not mean that each representative concept of the period speaks of a totally new or innovative concept of love, many of them are interdependent and/or modification of the other. However, in the last few years she has started developing her own concept of love as an art work, imagining love as innovative, individual and common process at the same time.
