Can we just decide or is the nation "rooted in everyone"?
Školoutová, Lucie ; Horský, Jan (advisor) ; Halbich, Marek (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on the issues concerning the identity formation of the contemporary minority group members, in particular Central European ones. It is concerned with studying to what degree their identity is determined and affected by their ethnicity. It is based on "empirical" research of the high school students born from 1988 to 1991 who were attending the bilingual gymnasiums either in Vienna or in Těšín.

The role of metaphoric representation in the relation of man to transcendence
Stehlíková, Hana ; Horský, Jan (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of a relation of the human being to transcendence through the concept of metaphor and metaphorical representation. It begins with the comparison of two philosophical systems, namely the ones of Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche, whose conceptions are in thesis connected through the question of the limits of human understanding and the relation between the process of thinking and language. The thesis deals with those questions from the point of view of the philosophical concept of the metaphor. This concept, its history and implications are the main topics for the last two chapters. The conclusion will offer two opposite positions, symbolism and idealism. We can find those positions retrospectively in the mentioned works of Kant and Nietzsche thanks to the theory of Jacques Derrida in the final part of the thesis, but we also come to the assumption that their opposition will remain undecided.
