Design of Irrigation System for Home
Němec, Václav ; Hůlka, Tomáš (referee) ; Šoustek, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to design and implement an Arduino-based home irrigation system with the ability to view and control the system through a graphical user interface. Individual components, communication were selected and control programs were created. The design was adjusted to a particular object. The solution was developed using the Arduino IDE development environment, where controlling programs for individual modules were created. A web server was created to view, control and collect data using the Flask framework in the Python programming language with the PostgreSQL database. This system was tested on a test system and demonstrated the desired and correct behavior.

What does it mean to interpret a text? The notions of understanding and interpretation in Heidegger's hermeneutics of facticity
Větrovský, Jaroslav ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
(in English): The bachelor thesis aims to explore the concept and possibilities of text interpretation in the light of Heidegger's hermeneutics of facticity. The guiding question is simple in its structure: what does it mean to interpret a text? What does the act of such interpretation consist in, and what do we do when we interpret? The locus in which questions related to the interpretation of a text have traditionally been raised is hermeneutics. Heidegger's hermeneutics of facticity differs from traditional hermeneutics in that, roughly speaking, the central notion of interpretation is not understood as a relation of an interpreting subject to another subject (author) or object (text), but as a relation of such a subject to its own possibilities. Accordingly, interpretation is always interpretation of one's own existence (Dasein), one's way of being, regardless of a particular being to which it is oriented. It follows that the interpretation of a text is, in terms of the hermeneutics of facticity, only one of many instances of interpretation in general. Heidegger therefore deals with this question only sporadically, even though the hermeneutics of facticity radically transforms its traditional form. This thesis is an attempt to reflect such a transformation and to project it back into the notion...

To Close One's Eyes Forever: Husserl, Sartre, and Death
Kvapil, Ondřej ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Blecha, Ivan (referee) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
In the present thesis, I examine the concept of death in Husserl, whose analyses of death have stayed aside of philosophical debates for decades, and in Sartre, whose analyses of death have slowly ended up on the periphery of these debates. Against the backdrop of the thematic chapters, I will focus on the ancient thesis of the unthinkability of death, put it in question and finally, articulate an even more ancient relationship between death and thought. In my first chapter, I do not seek to provide a historical analysis of the genesis of the concept of death in Husserl's phenomenology, nor a systematic study of the place death occupies in his transcendental idealism. On the basis of the often fragmentary manuscripts, I strive to reconstruct Husserl's notion of death in its plasticity, attempt to think it through to its consequence, and then formulate its implicit presuppositions. In the second chapter, I confront the mainstream reading of Sartre on death, according to which Sartre represents an Epicurean among the phenomenologists, and show that this reading turns, in fact, the meaning of his analyses upside down. Before doing so, however, I will revise the context in which Sartre has been read so far, freeing him from the schematic comparison with Heidegger and arguing that regarding death he is...

To step out repeatedly in search of knowledge - epistemology of Nicholas of Cusa
Nemec, Šimon ; Žemla, Martin (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to examine of the consistency gnoseological thought of Nicholas of Cusa in De docta ignorantia. On the basis of a contemporary critique by Johannes Wenck of Herrenberg, we will open up some seeming shortcomings of the text, which we shall answer with the help of Nicholas' texts from the first period of his work. We will show the relation of the method of scientific ignorance to the possibility of knowing and will reconstruct the hierarchy of cognitive capacities that serve us in our search for knowledge. Using such a reconstruction, we will elaborate the polemic between Wenck and Nicholas, showing the consistency or inconsistency of Nicholas gnoseological thinking.

Is populism a threat to democracy?
Ratajová, Alexandra ; Jirsa, Jakub (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
Táto práca sa zaoberá vzťahom medzi demokraciou a populizmom, a jej cieľom je ukázať, či je populizmus pre demokraciu hrozbou. Práca pozostáva zo štyroch častí a má teoretický charakter. Prvá časť je zameraná na objasnenie pojmu demokracie, aké sú jej charakteristické rysy, aké znaky by mala mať demokratická spoločnosť, a s akými problémami sa musí vyrovnať. V tejto časti práce sú načrtnuté tri kľúčové problémy demokracie, ktoré sú spojené s populizmom. Druhá časť práce pojednáva o populizme a cieľom tejto časti je tento fenomén presnejšie definovať na základe sumarizácie spoločných čŕt rôznych definícií populizmu. Táto časť práce sa taktiež sústredí na to, ako populizmus reaguje na nedostatky demokracie, a aké riešenia prináša na tri kľúčové problémy, ktoré v demokracii prirodzene nastávajú, predstavené v prvej časti práce, a či sú tieto populistické riešenia skutočne efektívne. Cieľom tretej časti je bližšie ukázať, ako je populizmus s demokraciou prepletený, ako vplýva na demokraciu, a či je vôbec populizmus demokratický. Napokon, záver práce obsahuje môj názor na túto problematiku, ku ktorému som dospela počas písania tejto práce, ako aj odpoveď na otázku, či je populizmus hrozbou demokracie. Kľúčové slová: demokracia, populizmus, ľud, spoločnosť, hrozba demokracie

Anima forma corporis: The Nature of the Human Soul and Its Relation to the Body in the Works of Thomas Aquinas
Oliva, Anna ; Tropia, Anna (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
Anima forma corporis: This motto, which was formulated in the 14th century in the Council of Vienne, resumes the doctrine of the soul as the form of the human body. One of the most important proponents of this belief was Thomas Aquinas, who reformulated the question of the soul and the body in a revolutionary way. Along with Aquinas, our work will present the nature of the human soul and its paradoxical relationship to the human body: on the one hand, Aquinas speaks of the soul as an immortal substance that has an existence independent of the body, but on the other hand, in the wake of Aristotelian hylomorphism, he presents the human soul as the form of the human body that forms a natural unity with the corruptible body. How are we to relate to this dualism of perspectives that Aquinas introduces into medieval thought? The aim of our paper will be to discuss how Aquinas addresses the soul, which is considered to be the defining part of the human being, while also drawing attention to the tension that undoubtedly arises within the relationship between soul and body - how can the necessary unity of soul and body be valid if the soul is imperishable? Is this an aporia and a mere inconsistency on the part of the author, or can the soul really form the body and yet retain the status of substance...

Thomas Aquinas on Hope
Bezoušková, Alena ; Tropia, Anna (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
(in English) This thesis examines hope and its relation to action in Thomas Aquinas' Summa theologica. In the human soul, there are two types of hope, according to Aquinas. First, there is hope, which belongs to a sensitive soul, and by means of which we aim at sensory objects (hope-passion). Second, there is hope, which belongs to an intellective soul, enabling us to aim at objects grasped with abstract concepts (Aquinas writes specifically about hope-virtue aiming at beatitude). Having hope-passion means setting realistic goals and figuring out how to reach them. On that account, Aquinas says that hope facilitates action. Those who have hope-virtue are oriented towards salvation and rely on God to help them achieve it. Hope-virtue may seem passive. But in fact, it leads a Christian to attach to God and work on his relationship with Him. Hope-virtue, therefore, manifests as an internal spiritual activity, which leads to developing charity. In the text, Aquinas' understanding of hope is occasionally compared with the concepts of hope of Aristotle and Paul of Tarsus. Aquinas was inspired by these thinkers. Also, comparing enables us to see specifics of Aquinas' account.

Natural law
Bulušek, Martin ; Petříček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the problems which result from the division of law into positive law and natural law. These problems can be summarized by a question whether there is a standard by which one could evaluate the rightness of the positive law or whether there is only boundless legal licence. The thesis sees a possible solution to this dilemma in the work of Friedrich Nietzsche and his ontological reinterpretation of the concepts of subject, morality, power and justice. The result is an insight that by rejecting metaphysically conceived natural law, we do not throw off the possibility of evaluating the law as such. Justice, conceived not as a static factum, but as a constantly found and lost quality of a legal system, should become the instrument of this new criticism. Legal system itself is conceived as an outcome of the struggle of diverse perspectives, which leads to continuous revaluation (interpretation) of its elements and so it constantly leads to new forms of justice from which none can be just "per se", because that would lead to the elimination of the tension which founds the legal system as such.

The Christian theodicy as a paradox of philosophy
Jirousová, Františka ; Karfíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the christian theodicy - an attempt to explain why God permits evil. This work shows from the historical point of view that the christian theodicy was originated as an alternative to the gnostic dualism. The logical outcome is that the christian theodicy seems to be an attempt to put together three statements. 1.God is good. 2.God is almighty. 3.The evil exists in the world. In real example ( Augustin, "The theodicy after Osvetimy", Paul Ricoeur) is shown that it is only partly in function and the price for this is weakening or even denying the statement concerning God's good as the Almighty. The author tries on the base of Teilhard de Chardin's detailed understanding of evil to identify future of the contemporary theodicy, its benefits could bring a new philosophical way of thinking for features of evil in the world, knowing that the evil must always remain mystery of God as it is understood in christianity. The main conclusion of this thesis is a view that full rationalization of evil in the world leads to totalitarian of thinking and to a dishonored view of christians towards God. The inability to rationalize evil and the explanation of what reasons God permits evil is in this work understood as the biggest positive example of the christian theodicy and as a guarantee against...
