Holub, Tomáš ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (referee) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
Die ethische Diskussion uber die adequäte Reaktion auf 11. September 2001 Die Arbeit beschreibt im ersten Kapitel zuerst die geschichtliche Entwicklung der Friedensethik vor allem in Verbindung mit dem christlichen Denken beginnend mit den Bibelstellen uber die fruhkirchliche Zeit, Stellungen von Augustinus, Thomas von Aquin und Francesco de Vitoria bis zur heutigen Situation, die vor allem mit den Gedanken erthaltenen in UNO Charta und auch in der päpstlichen Enzyklika Pacem in terris geprägt ist. Im zweiten Kapitel ist die heutige Diskussion uber dieses Thema unter den christlich orientierten Ethikern vor allem in USA und Europa charakterisiert. Das dritte Kapitel versucht, die ethischen Argumente und Unklarheiten in der Polemik uber die adequäte Reaktion auf 11. September 2001 zu analysieren. Es handelt sich um die politische, juristische und ethische Diskussion. Im vierten Kapitel ist dann aufgrund der vorliegenden Analyse die Präzisierung der Prinzipien der klassischen Lehre uber den gerechten Krieg vorgeschlagen, wie es im Katechismus der katholischen Kirche enthalten ist. Die Präzisierung sollte zeigen, dass diese Lehre auch in der heutigen Situation des Kampfes gegen Terrorismus ein geltender und anwendbarer Orientierungspunkt ist, der aber eine Konkretisierung fur die neue Situation braucht.

Comparative analysis of controversial Slovak, German, Slovak-exile literature about Dr. Josef Tiso (+ 1947) from the historical-ethical perspective.
Pavol, Jozef ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (referee) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
RESUME Tematikou tejto licenciátnej práce je analýza kontroverznej osoby Dr. Jozefa Tisa - kňaza a prezidenta Slovenského štátu z historicko - etického hľadiska. Počas jeho politickej kariéry došlo k rozdeleniu Československa, zavedeniu jednej politickej strany na Slovensku, vyhláseniu vojny proti Poľsku a ZSSR a k antisemitizmu voči židom na Slovensku. Sú to udalosti, ktoré sa týkajú nielen správnej interpretácie Tisa z historického hľadiska na základe historických faktov, ale zasahujú i morálno- etickú rovinu samotného kňaza katolíckej cirkvi v hraničných etických situáciách. Jeho osobnosť rozpolťuje týmto nielen historické kruhy, ale prispieva i k polarizácii samotnej spoločnosti. Pokým nacionalistické, pravicové (Slovenská pospolitosť) a cirkevno - konzervatívne kruhy (biskup Sokol) sa ho zastávajú a stavajú na oltár mučeníkov, liberálne vidia v ňom pre zmenu diktátora a antisemitu. Ústredná otázka tejto práce teda znie: V čom spočíva a odkiaľ pramení polemizácia Tisa v historických kruhoch a ako jednal Tiso v hraničných etických situáciach (jednal podľa etických princípov morálnej teológie?)?. Prvá historická časť tejto práce sa venuje analýze 3 hlavných historických prúdov, ktoré svojimi líniami polarizujú Tisa v historických kruhoch: slovenský, slovenský - exilový a nemecký prúd. Ťažiskom analýzy...

Ethics between Reason and Revelation. Analysis of the Augustin Zippe's moral-theological concept. (1746/7-1816)
Lorman, Jaroslav ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee) ; Šrajer, Jindřich (referee)
Etika mezi zjevením a rozumem. Analýza morálně teologického konceptu Augustina Zippeho (1746/7-1816) Předložená práce představuje pokus přiblížit se jedné části morálně-teologické tradice. Práce obsahuje pět kapitol (kromě úvodu a závěru). První dvě kapitoly se zabývají otázkami metody a stavem bádání o českém církevním osvícenství. Třetí pak představuje rekonstruovanou biografii Augustina Zippeho v kontextu jeho díla a doby. Čtvrtou kapitolu tvoří vybraná témata (liturgie, tolerance, křesťanské manželství aj.) z morálně-teologických děl Augustina Zippeho, i z děl dalších josefínských morálních teologů (Ignaz von Fabiani, Franz Fritsch, Joseph Lauber a Wenzel Schanza). Hlavním cílem této kapitoly je ukázat metodickou i obsahovou otevřenost konceptu Augustina Zippeho a dalších josefínských morálních teologů vůči soudobé filosofické diskusi i rozvíjejícímu se biblickému i patristickému bádání. Pátá kapitola blíže analyzuje jádro morálně-teologické koncepce Zippeho. Za hermeneutický klíč posloužil koncept autonomní morálky v kontextu křesťanské víry, který představil ve druhé polovině 20. století Alfons Auer. Vliv Zippeho mravouky je patrný u autorů pozdějších generací (Johannes Michael Sailer, Johannes Baptist von Hirscher). Pozoruhodná a především ve srovnání s díly tehdejšího pražského arcibiskupa...

Popová, Ludmila ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Matějek, Jaromír (referee)
POPOVÁ, L. Suicide, Assisted Suicide, Physicians' Responsibility. Prague 2009. Thesis. Charles University in Prague. Catholic Theological Faculty. Department of Theological Ethics and Theology of Spirituality. Supervisor PhDr. Keywords: suicide, assisted suicide, responsibility, physician, patient The thesis first defines the basic terms and then describes suicide from the ethical perspective as a choice between life and death. It also shows the Christian ethics point of view. Then it focuses on the assisted suicide, which ethically relates to the topic, being a choice between life and death - but also contains suffering and pain in peoples' lives, concerning mainly ill people and dying people. Here, Christian ethics point of view is described, as well. Due to the wide scope of the topic, the following chapter specifies the relation physician-patient, looking closely at the amount of their responsibility during the treatment and at the end of the patient's life, comparing the past and present situation. Then there is a chapter on palliative care, which is, in my opinion, the right approach to the physician-patient relation in the contemporary medicine, and also a kind of a solution when discussing euthanasia or assisted suicide issues. On the basis of interviews, the last chapter takes a look at...

Musilová, Lenka ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Lorman, Jaroslav (referee)
Ethics of advertising - Position in terms of theological ethics Advertising is a subject of a lot of controversial debates because it derives the benefit from unethical practics. For example, advertising misleads customers when it conceals essential information, abuses women and children, improperly uses a sense of fear. These aspects of advertising have a negative impact on society. The goal of this thesis was to find out how experts in the advertising industry perceive adverting and its ethics. The first one is a marketing specialist and the other is a director of an advertising agency. I introduce advertising at the beginning of the first part. The main themes of the theological ethics come later and then I explain the relationship of ethics and advertising. There is a separate chapter dealing with attitude of The Catholic church towards advertising's ethics. The next chapter describes regulation of advertising in The Czech Republic. The second part includes a qualitative research about expert's perception of advertising and its ethics. I found out their opinions using non-standardized interviews. In the conclusion I introduce results of the research. Keywords: Ethics / theological ethics Advertising Catholic Church and advertising Regulation of advertising

The possibilities of justifying ethical principles for dealing with a conceived human life
Coufal, Jiří ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Matějek, Jaromír (referee)
English Abstract Possibilities of Justifying Ethical Principles for Dealing with Conceived Human Life This thesis proposes the spectrum of ethical questions connected with interventions into the conceived human life and suggests ways, how to answer these questions. Following up the limited expressions of the Scripture about life of man before nativity, it reminds the history of a conceived human life in the church tradition and its teaching. It refers to the dignity of man as a person from the philosophical and theological point of view and proposes reasons making the meaning, that the human embryo is a person already from the conception, well-founded. It considers the opinion opposition of its meaning, which comes out from empirical positions, from the reasons of its unity and its inability to propose proofs, as a mere doubt, which cannot cut out an existence of a human person from the moment of conception. Further this work deals with the real and ethical aspect of the individual interventions into the human life. Namely deals for example with the interruption, contraceptive methods, assisted reproductive technology, problems of embryonic stem cells, cloning and gene therapies. It mentions public end professional discussion, international conventions and the Czech national legislation in that field. The...

The theological reasons for the Church's charity
Daly, Jana ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
The theological reasons for The Church's charity The Roman Catholic Church has three major missions - liturgy, evangelization and deacony. Charity had been given an organised structure in the first century A.D when the apostels chose seven men, the deacons, and so established it indefinitely in church life. The goal of this thesis was to find the origins of the third church mission, charity. The first written part describes charity from its historical point of view. It also introduces several saints who had dedicated their lives to charity, while it focuses on their motivation. To demonstrate the importance of charity work The Orthodox Church is discussed, which is famous for its low ambition in the field of organised help. The second part of the theses interprets the biblical and theological origins of charity. Before closing up with a final chapter, it discusses themes that are connected with this subject. It describes the meaning of love, brotherhood, responsibility and the value of human life. The final chapter arrives at the main point of the subject - the main and only source of neighbourly love - Holy Trinity, God's justice and Image of God in man. KEYWORDS: charity, love, Trinity, Catholic, Orthodox.
