"To the Relief of Those Who Are in Distress." On the Phenomenon of Pity in the Philosophy of J.-J. Rousseau Kateřina Sváčková The thesis attempts to thematise the philosophical composition of the phenomenon of pity (fr. pitié, compassion) as it was elaborated by J.-J. Rousseau, and on this basis, to present an "ornament of pity" as a phenomenon that is both integral and changeable. First of all, we compose this ornament from three groups of principles: firstly, affection, passion, emotion and the so-called moral sense; secondly, reason and reasoning; and thirdly, two forms of self-love (fr. amour de soi-même, amour propre). In the first part of the thesis, Rousseau's pity comes to be seen as combining these three sets of principles. The individual phenomenon thus constructed is to be applied in the moral, social and public spheres. In Rousseau's idealised theory, pity is generalised through the rational faculties and extended self-love, and extended to the level of cosmopolitan love of humanity (fr. amour de l'humanité) and (thus) love of justice (fr. amour de la justice). We reflect on pity as defined by Rousseau as the "source of moral virtues" or the "source of social relations", tracing the transformation of its original form and strength, of its "quantity" as well as its "quality".

The limits of autobiography in Nebe nemá dno
Svobodová, Lucie ; Češka, Jakub (advisor) ; Fulka, Josef (referee)
This thesis, The limits of autobiography in Nebe nemá dno, explores the limits of the genre of autobiography, using the novel by Hana Androniková as an example. Using selected examples, it attempts to capture the motifs and references in which this novel transcends the defined conception of the autobiographical genre and thus stands on its borderline. Theoretical concepts dealing with the limits of the autobiographical genre and its contradictions is applied to this text. In its next part, this thesis follows selected story lines and contrasts them with real events in the author's life. The records and testimonies of the author herself, as well as those of her family and close friends, are also important material for this research.

Development of overdetermination in Freud's theories
Zítko, Tomáš ; Fulka, Josef (advisor) ; Kuchař, Jakub (referee)
The thesis traces the development of the concept of overdetermination in Freud's thought. In his writings we can trace the shift from the implicitly formed idea of determinate memories, through the introduction of the concept of overdetermination, to the clear establishment of its place in relation to other concepts in his theory. The thesis thus attempts to capture the term in its full meaning in relation to the actual theories that were developing in the period and attempts to capture the term in its full, and if possible, exhaustive meaning.
