Just one step to the man: The Relationship to the "non-human" life on the base of the works of A.Schweitzer and H. Jonas
Bernardová, Marie ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
The central theme of this thesis is the action towards "non-human life", i.e. towards the life of "people", who aren't called people in certain circumstances. The author asks, if our responsibility is limited to human beings. The definition of human being is deliberatery avoided, as it always depends on the context of its creation. The problem is looked upon from the opposite standpoint of approach to life as such. Some possible answers to the question why we should be responsible for "non-human" life as well are presented. The author analyses ethical concepts of A. Schweitzer and H. Jonas who consider life in itself, demand on our conscious and responsible actions towards life, and the existence of debt adherent to all our actions as central. The two concepts are applied to a particular field - the problem of unborn life - and they are compared to positions resulting from the definition of human being. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Anglická anotace / English annotation The identity of the confessor in the documents of the II. Vatican council and the post-conciliar Magisterium." The main theme of this thesis is the confessor, primarily from the point of view of his theological identity and its application in the sacrament of reconciliation. The thesis is conceived theologically, ethically and pastoral. The framework consists of conciliar and post-conciliar documents and fundamental contributions concerning the current identity of the confessor.

The comparison of the highest moral criterion in christianity and in marxism-leninism
Seifert, David ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Křížek, Petr (referee)
Anglická anotace (English annotation) Name of Thesis: The comparism of highest moral Criterion in Christianity and in Marxism-Leninism Based on research of the relationship between an objective moral code and personal conscience of human beings is my thesis to compare the concept of highest moral criterion in Christianity to that of Marxism-Leninism. In view of the whole history of Christian Theology, starting with early biblical concepts through those of modern Catholic Theologists and also the writings of Marxistic philosophy (from Karl Marx to later textboooks of Marxistic morality) my thesis will show the deep differences (for example transcendent reasoning of Christian conscience) and also an interesting consensus, above all the importance of the connection between the freedom of human beings and understanding of truth. This is the reason, why my thesis emphasises the danger of false comprehension or disuse of Christian requirements on human beings (person) in terms of totalitarian ideology, but also stimuli which makes possible dialogue, not only with the Marxistic philosophy, but also with contemporary people, who are very conscious of their freedom of conscience and revolt against any form of totality. Key words: Conscience, Objective Moral Code, Christianity, Totality, Marxism-Leninism.

The Church and the Cinema
Jirsa, František ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (referee)
František Jirsa: Církev a film, diplomová práce na KTF UK, Praha 2007 - resumé. V první části práce je popsán vztah církve k filmu ve světle církevních dokumentů. Církev se zabývá filmem od jeho vzniku až do současnosti. Film jako obrazové médium je velice působivý a na některé skupiny ve společnosti může mít velký kladný nebo záporný vliv. Sám o sobě není ani dobrý ani špatný, je nástrojem v rukou producentů, režisérů, herců a dalších profesí podílejících se na výrobě filmu. V první polovině dvacátého století byl film nejmasovějším druhem zábavy, proto je mu věnována v církevních dokumentech značná pozornost. Od padesátých let 20. století nastává celosvětový rozvoj televize a film je tak částečně odsunut do pozadí. Zatímco v první polovině dvacátého století církevní dokumenty především varují před špatným vlivem filmu a přinášejí konkrétní doporučení, jak se před tímto vlivem bránit, po Druhém vatikánském koncilu se začíná klást větší důraz na možnosti využití filmu k pastoraci a evangelizaci. Církevní dokumenty nás vyzývají, abychom filmy vnímali v kritickém duchu, abychom přemýšleli a snažili se porozumět tomu, co vidíme a slyšíme, a naučili se filmové umění správně hodnotit. Ve druhé části práce je na základě kriterií z církevních dokumentů hodnocen obraz církve v českém hraném filmu. Od počátku vzniku...
