Abstract: [eng] [cze]
The Bachelor thesis presented here is concerned with the political philosophy of British historian Lord Acton and its influence on the political thought of 20th century. The aim of the thesis was to present Actons political thought in the environment of 19th century Britain and to show its influence on the political thought of 20th century. Actons political philosophy was concerned with many problems of Victorian age and his philosophy deals with many contemporary and historical issues. Because of this, I had to put emphasis only on some aspects of Actons political thought. Mainly on the theoretical fusion of Catholicism and Liberalism. The thesis is divided into three parts: In the first part I present Actons conception of liberty. Through the term of liberty I try to show the basis of his liberal philosophy. Every attempt to systematize Actons philosophy must start mainly with this term of liberty, because it was central in his thinking. Also his understanding of the word liberty is one of the things that distinguishes Acton from other thinkers, because it implicitly contains main premises of ethical teachings of the church. The second part talks mainly about Actons evaluation of the French revolution. I find this historical event very interesting and indespensable in the way that it presents to us how... Bakalárska diplomová práca sa zaoberá politickou filozofiou britského historika Lorda Actona a jej vplyvom na politické myslenie 20. storočia. Cieľom práce bolo predstaviť politické myslenie v kontexte doby a ukázať jeho vplyv na 20. storočie. Acton sa vyjadroval k mnohým problémom vtedajšej doby a jeho filozofia ako taká sa dotýka veľkého spektra problémov. Z tohto dôvodu bolo nutné mierne abstrahovať a sústrediť prácu najmä na Actonov pokus o teoretickú fúziu katolicizmu a liberalizmu. Práca je rozdelená do troch častí: V prvej predstavujem Actonovo pojatie slobody a skrze toto pojatie Actonov liberalizmus v teórii. Každý pokus o systematizáciu Actonovej filozofie musí prebiehať práve skrze predstavenie pojmu slobody, ktoré bolo v politickom myslení Actona kľúčové. Práve tento pojem slobody v sebe implicitne zahŕňa aj základne prvky etickej náuky katolíckej cirkvi, čo robí jeho poňatie liberalizmu omnoho jednoduchšie zlúčiteľné s katolicizmom. V druhej časti sa venujem Actonovmu hodnoteniu Francúzskej revolúcie. Na tomto príklade je totiž možné dostatočne ilustrovať zmenu Actonovho politického myslenia počas jeho života. Jedná sa najmä o prechod od konzervativizmu k liberalizmu. Túto zmenu môžeme sledovať v Actonových prednáškach a esejách. V tretej časti predstavujem kritiku Actonovej filozofie v 20....
