ETIC IMPLICATIONS OF COMMANDMENT OF LOVE ACCORDING TO VERITATIS SPLENDOR AND DEUS CARITAS EST Comparation of interpretations of universal etic norm by John Paul II and Benedict XVI in quoted encyclicals The purpose of my thesis is to analyse and compare Veritatis splendor and Deus caritas est in order to defend the basic statement that the commandment of love is the only one norm of the christian etics and every other norm is based on it. A complex of questions comes out from the interpretation of the commandment of love and it can be divided into two branches 'why' and 'how'. There are three main reasons why to live under the commandment: love is aim of liberty, love fulfils the law, love has its origin in the truth. The love according to these three columns leads to salvation. The answer how to live under commandment of love is in the following of the example of Jesus Christ. The analytic and the synthetic part of my thesis are framed into seven themes: 1) Love, 2) Neighbour, 3) Commandment of love, 4) Law, 5) Liberty, 6) Truth, 7) Following. Several quotations of Holy Script are chosen by the analysis of encyclicals: Love - 1 John 4, 1 Cor 13, Neighbour - Luke 10,30-37; Mat 25, 31-46, Commandment of love - Dt 6, 4-5; Lv 19,18; Mark 12, 29-31; Mat 22, 34-40, Law - Rom 8,2; Rom 13,10, Liberty - John 8,32,...

Personal freedom and bonum commune analysis of work theory of justice John Rawls christian ethics from the perspective
Novitzky, Peter ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee) ; Sokol, Jan (referee)
This work tries to present the importance of the theory of justice of John Rawls from the point of view of Christian ethics, pointing out selected aspect of this theory. The basis for this reflection gives the fact, that the theory of justice of John Rawls is repeatedly cited in the presentations of the principles of Catholic social teaching. In some points they show similarities, in others are in opposition. Furthermore, John Rawls formulates his formal theory in a way to make it acceptable for every rational human being. In this group are also included persons with religious and moral ideas, or how John Rawls call them himself: people with comprehensive doctrines. The rationale to examine the theory of justice is justified also by the fact that Rawls ascribes not ignorable function in the aforementioned theory to religious ideas. Thirdly, in the case of John Rawls is possible to see one of the advocates and fore-representative of the liberal tradition. Liberalism is, because of its ambiguous definition but simultanously real presence in the society and thinking of people, not ignorable challenge for the Church and religious ideas, with which she already tries for two hundred years to tackle. In this work therefore will be presented the life and works of John Rawls, together with the basic theses of...

Autonomy of Man and the Narrative Understanding of Bioethics
Šípová, Karolína ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Lorman, Jaroslav (referee)
My work is a critical view of a modern principle of personal autonomy and an idea of autonomous man, which stems from philosophy of liberalism. The practice of personal autonomy in bioetics, which takes over the features of this political concept and does not comprise a metaphysical question about a man seems to empty a concept of humanity. My work tries to turn attentation to this problem and show the difficulties of personal autonomy when presented from the secular point of view. I want to offer then the concept of narrative ethics as a vision of supplementing the concept of modern principal bioetics.

Puková, Hana ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
Dead is a part of our human life. Even in the old days human was asking questions about himself: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go?" And last but not least understood his mortality. Dying is a part of life. It is a period for a human, when everything finishes. When is he really dead though? Is it really the moment when his heart beat and blood circulation stops and he stops breathing? Or is he dead for the others in the moment of his hard illness.The aim of the thesis is to point out an adequate behaviour to a dying human being.

The collaboration of the Catholic Church and priests with the socialist regime of the GDR in theological and ethical reflection
Buss, Gregor ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee) ; Šrajer, Jindřich (referee)
The doctoral thesis tries to reflect the collaboration of Catholic priests with the Ministry for State Security (= Ministerium für Staatssicherheit; MfS or Stasi) in the former GDR from a theological perspective. This is done in two steps. The first part of the thesis illustrates the historical background. This includes an introduction into the history, ideology and working methods of the Stasi. The main goal, however, is to give an overview of the amount and charakter of the collaboration of Catholic priests. The first part ends with a typology of the different motives and reasons for cooperating with the Stasi. In the second part the problem of collaboration is reflected from an ethical perspective. It is not intended to evaluate individual cases, but to elaborate criteria for the evaluation of individual cases. The guiding assumption is that the cooperation with state security ether arose from a lack of willing, a lack of ability, or a lack of cognition. The priests were therefore either limited in their moral motivation, their freedom or their cognitive competence. To what extent these limitations were caused by the priests themselves or by the surrounding circumstances, can be regarded as a key question when it comes to evaluating cases of collaboration.
