The Church as a Non-familial Solidary Political Community
Kušnieriková, Michaela ; Noble, Ivana (advisor) ; Štěch, František (referee) ; Hušek, Vít (referee)
This thesis explores why the metaphor of the church as a family is insufficient, when we focus on the relation of the church to the world and primarily on a holistic concept of Christian acting. In this attempt, Arendt's theory of political action, Bonhoeffer's ecclesiology and political theology and Stăniloae's theology of the world and acting are brought into a conversation. The roots of the different views of Arendt and Bonhoeffer on the family symbolism are traced to their distinct notions of acting. Therefore, including also Stăniloae's voice, this becomes the central theme of the debate focusing on the inter-action of actors and acting's place in the world. Christian calling is unfolded not only as acting for others, but also with others in a response to the words and deeds of God existing as three Persons in communion. As human beings are drawn into this space of unique relations, they are empowered to communal and common acting of equals participating in worldly and public-political issues. Since a familial symbolism conveys only a limited notion of acting, omitting its common aspect, this study complements this symbolism with a metaphor of the church as a solidary political community.

The Rediscovery of Symbol in Louis-Marie Chauvet
Bauerová, Kateřina ; Noble, Ivana (advisor) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee) ; Hušek, Vít (referee)
The main aim of my dissertation is to introduce, analyse, and critically evaluate the notion of symbol of a contemporary French sacramental theologian Louis-Marie Chauvet. He has significantly influenced the Western, especially Roman Catholic scene, but he is almost unknown in the Czech milieu. Chauvet's rehabilitation of a symbolic view of reality brings a possibility to speak about God's presence in a non- ideological way. He also brings a positive evaluation of body and corporality back into theology. In the first part of my work I map out the resources from which Chauvet draws in his notion of symbol. In particular I deal with Heidegger's early philosophy but also with Chauvet's use of psychoanalysis and his critical evaluation of older Thomist sacramental theology. The second part of my work is devoted to Chauvet's own notion of symbol. On the basis of his central works I analyse three topics linked with his approach to symbol: being, language and corporality. In the last part I critically appraise Chauvet's notion especially with respect to his use of Lacan's psychoanalytical theory. For some open questions that come out of this I look for alternatives in three French contemporary female authors. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Theology of Creation according to Julian of Aeclanum and its Sources
Outrata, Filip ; Karfíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Hušek, Vít (referee) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
The thesis focuses on the theology of Julian of Aeclanum, the most persistent adversary of Augustine of Hippo in the so-called Pelagian controversy. The aim is to present Julian's theology as a whole and trace its sources, especially in the anti-manichaean works of a group of authors of the Christian East (Titus of Bostra, Serapion of Thmuis, Basil of Kaisareia, Eusebios of Emesa) as well as authors of baptismal catecheses of Antiochian tradition, notably John Chrysostom and Theodore of Mopsuestia. In the first chapter, the personality and oeuvre of Julian of Aeclanum, characteristic traces of his polemic, connections with his important predecessors and his philosophical and exegetical profile are sketched. The core of the work, overview of Julian's theology, concentrates successively on sin and free will, polemic against the notion of inherited (natural) sin and the positive concept of baptismal grace, justice and law in its twofold form, natural as well as written Mosaic law, natural character of physical mortality, christology and soteriology stressing the human nature of Christ and his role of example, and finally, ascensive concept of grace beginning on the level of creation and rising to the redemptive work of Christ. The comparison of Julian's theological concepts with its eastern sources and...
