The aim of this thesis is to discover and clarify the manifestations of magical thinking in child's conception of the world, particularly in the concept of life and consciousness. The analytical part of the thesis is based on my own empirilal material.

Mlázovská, Barbora ; Presslerová, Pavla (advisor) ; Křížová, Ivana (referee)

My diploma thesis will serve as a pilot study on the upcoming research...
