Euroskepticism and it's manifistation on the exaple of ČSSD and ODS
Pirogova, Miroslava ; Štefek, Martin (advisor) ; Znoj, Milan (referee)
In this bachelor paper author tried not only to explain the term "euroscepticism", to describe various theories and concepts of euroscepticism and to choose the most suitable concept for the analysis of euroscepticism but also to examine the manifestations of euroscepticism in two Czech political parties - ČSSD and ODS - from 2006 to 2018. The theoretical part is devoted to defining the term "euroscepticism", its origin and contemporary concept. I tried to explain the definition of term "euroscepticism" by means of the basic literature on the given topic, such as the work of Taggart, Kopecky and Mudd, Flood etc. Using the theoretical part, I tried to put chosen political parties into one of the euroscepticism typologies. In my research of manifestations of euroscepticism, I have been using party program documents and information from the ODS and ČSSD websites. In addition, I used Czech-language literature on this topic (Euroscepticism in the Czech Republic), data from the sociological surveys of STEM and CVVM, records of voting in the Parliament of the Czech Republic and speeches of selected members from both political parties. I chose those parties because I suppose that both are substantial competing parties that deserves attention when examining the problem of euroscepticism in the Czech...

Bentham's Utilitarianism and Individual Rights
Venclík, Jan ; Znoj, Milan (advisor) ; Bíba, Jan (referee)
The aim of this B. A. thesis is to clarify the status of individual rights within Bentham's philosophy. The exposition is divided into two main parts. Bentham's critique of natural rights is discussed in the first part. Especially, his critique of declarations of natural rights issued during the French revolution is carefully analysed and assessed. Bentham uncompromisingly rejected these declaration on the ground that they were false and dangerous. Subsequently is shown to what extent there can be justification of the primacy of individual rights in relation to interference of political authority in the whole context of Bentham's philosophical system, which is based on the principle of utility. The key concept here is that of expectation and secondary security-providing principle is particularly important. There are two contending conceptions. On the one hand we see liberal conception of individual pursuing her own happiness, on the other hand there is racionalistic idea of legislator who manipulate the whole society according to the dictate of utility. The gap could be filled if we did not understand the principle of utility as moral arithmetic capable of solving every problem. We can conclude that basic logic of Bentham's utilitarinism is limited by significant truths about human condition and...

Philosophical Revisionism in Czechoslovakia between 1956 and 1968
Chramosta, Jaroslav ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Znoj, Milan (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with Marxist philosophy in Czechoslovakia between 1956 and 1968, it focuses especially on Marxist humanism. The XX. Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956 and the Khrushchev's critique of Stalinism gave opportunity for critical approach in Marxist philosophy. Marxist humanism came with the turn to questions of man and his world and it refused the dehumanizing system of Stalinism. The campaign against revisionism was led in regimes of the Eastern Block between 1956 and 1960 as a reaction to critical efforts in Marxist theory and practice. The campaign against revisionism was led in Czechoslovakia against efforts of separation philosophy from ideology or emphasis to Hegelian origins of Marxism. Areas where was evolving critical thinking and original approach to Marxism were arising in the 1950s and especially in 1960s in Czechoslovakia. Examples of this areas were the Institute of Philosophy of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and the dialogue between Marxists and Christians. In this thesis I examine thinking of Karel Kosík, Robert Kalivoda and Milan Machovec on questions of history and man. Through these themes I show different approaches to Marxist humanism in Czechoslovakia between the 1950s and 1960s. Marxist humanism is often seen as an unitary...
