Czech Film Taste in Sociological Perspective
Smoljaková, Natálie ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Balon, Jan (referee)
The aim of this work is to find specific preferences of Czech film consumers. By these specific preferences it is meant the type of stories, heroes or genres which does Czech film audience prefer. The analysis is made on the most popular films (i.e. with the biggest attendance) in last twenty years using the theory of Erving Goffman, especially his concept of frame analysis. By using the terms of frame analysis the content of the selected films is compared with the same amount of the most popular films in USA. This comparison is then used to find the differences or similarities among these two different areas, but in particular it is done to underline the specifics of Czech film audience.

British Logic in the 19th Century
Joachim, Jiří ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šebela, Karel (referee)
According to American philosopher W. W. Bartley, the transition from tradi- tional Aristotelian to Boolean logic is a revolutionary milestone in the history of logic. The work of George Boole which was followed by a developement of a mathematicaly oriented logic brings a shift of paradigm. In my thesis I follow the period in which the shift is said to have happened. I explicate the elements of syllogistic and its main conceptions as expounded in a textbook The Rudiments of Logic written by Henry Aldrich. Furthermore I demon- strate logical systems of three authors: Archbishop Richard Whately, George Boole and Lewis Carroll. I accent the connection of those systems and the practical aspect of logic. With this in mind I consider Bartley's statement and estimate the role of the rules in the systems and its possible use in three domains circumscribed in Aldriches book: simple apprehension, judgement and discourse. 1

Area of ethics in Egon Bondy's philosophy
Macháčková, Petra ; Zika, Richard (advisor) ; Holeček, Tomáš (referee)
Area of ethics in Egon Bondy's philosophy is a kind of treatise and interpretation mainly of Bondy's nonsubstance ontology apart from philosophical antropology and the ethics. In this thesis comes out that nonsubstance ontology as a presentation of reality without any transcendent principle determining the view and continuity of reality is very important for each human. Human has an opened perspective of independent behaviour and can find the real sense of own human being. According to Bondy's meaning the human makes a part of ontological reality which has spontaneously developed to the reality with present rationality. Nevertheless the human is not a wholy rational being yet but neither only a biological being. Human is in advanced stage leading to the future type of human called posthuman. Posthuman needs to live in such reality where he can self-realized and which can reflect his specifics to the others spaces. All these conditions are possible and enabled in one area, the ethics. The kind and range of the ethics area is the key aspect of this thesis.

The Concept of Tradition in the Context of the Theory of Reflexive Modernization
Kondrátová, Lucie ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Holeček, Tomáš (referee)
Diploma thesis "The Concept of Tradition in the Context of the Theory of Reflexive Modernization" deals with the phenomenon of the tradition and its influence on the construction of the social order and the construction of individual biographies in the modern era. The thesis rests on the theory of reflexive modernization which is well- known in sociological theory thanks to Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens. The present reinterpretations of their papers quite often lead to the incorrect explanation of the current reality. Then, the reality is claimed to be detraditionalized. Using the concept of relativization I reject considering the actual state as the state without tradition. The aim of the concept of relativization, which is supported by the principle of sociological imagination, is to dispute this radical statement. The postulate of relativization is demonstrated on the example of the traditional social forms, such as nuclear family. In a wider perspective the aim of the thesis is to declare the continuing tendencies in social sciences to emphasize only the selected aspects of social reality.
