He was awarded the by the Dagmar and Václav Havel Foundation and the Tom Stoppard Prize for his influential essays.

Neubauer was a prolific author of essays and books, including: Nový Areopág (1992) O přírodě a přirozenosti věcí (1998) Biomoc (2002) Do světa na zkušenou (2010) Tvary a podoby (Chapters on Eidetic Biology)

Neubauer developed a concept known as "eidetic biology" (from the Greek eidos , meaning form). This theory views biological forms not as mere mechanical outcomes, but as "archetypes" or "fields of possibilities". He argued that biology should celebrate the morphological transformations and individual singularity of life forms.
