The origins of the theory of pure nature
Cavigioli, Jean-François ; Frývaldský, Pavel (advisor) ; Mohelník, Tomáš (referee)
This master's thesis, entitled "The origins of the theory of pure nature", seeks to understand how, in the 16th century, commentators on St Thomas Aquinas came to conceive of human nature as having a purely natural end rather than a supernatural one. This is known as the theory of pure nature. The aim of our work is to study, on the basis of the work of Father de Lubac, the ways in which they were led to develop such a theory. Our first part is devoted to Cajetan and his application to human nature of the principle of Aristotelian origin. Our second part concerns the heresy of Baius and the use of the potentia Dei absoluta. Our third part is devoted to the limbo theory and the question of natural beatitude.

Probe into the soul of a table tennis player
NEUMAN, Jiří
The thesis aims to awaken the reader's curiosity about the study of leisure. Through qualitative research, there is an attempt to outline the experience of leisure through the eyes of professional table tennis players who were interviewed to gain insight into their lives. Furthermore, through an interpretative phenomenological analysis of the data, an evaluation of the research has taken place. The emergent themes related to leisure were further explored through other literature that related directly or indirectly to the themes. The whole thesis is a subjective view of leisure through the perspective of the author who is also an active table tennis player. The thesis is indirectly divided into three parts, from the author's theoretical considerations, to the methodology, to the evaluation of the research results. The thesis should serve to encourage in-depth exploration of leisure through people's individual experiences.

Memories
Prokop, Tomáš ; Veselý, Petr (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
The topic of death and closely associated fragments through which I presented my opinion in this work had a long development. During my life I came across very often with parting my close persons. It is not reaction to present situation. It is a long time process which resulted in solving this problem in my mind. Consideration of the situation in this way helped me to put up with reality and to accept death as the natural phase of living organism. This exhibition was concipated as the memory for people who were a part of my life but now they exist only in my memories. Although this topic may produce a gloomy or controverse impression, my aim was not provocation or agressivity. I want my work to be a gesture of respect for people who are not among us and we should never forget them. The instalation is strongly dependent on space, it goes out of it. I tis necessary to perceive the exhibition completely which is one of the most principal things. A very important thing is a change of space and its cleaning. In this way I tried to achieve the communication between the space and the work of art. The space itself produces a monumental, almost sacral impression which is perfect for my topic. I didn’t want to overfill the space, that is why I chose a minimalistic composition including number of works of art. On purpose I let the space influence in it’s spiritual emptiness and gave it a chance to breath. The intervention in it must be perceived as a support of its expression. My work of art is based on cleanliness and stylisation of symbol.

Čábelková Nahorniaková, Marcela ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Budkeová, Branislava (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (referee) ; Menšíková, Naděžda (advisor)
Organic architecture is often used term especially in connection with the daring and experimental form. The exact definition or division is still missing. The founder of modern organic architecture is to be generally considered as Frank Loyd Wright. He was the man who created organic architecture and also made first definition in the early twentieth century, when formulating new architectural styles. Dissertation deals with insufficiently described problem of organic architecture. The main focus is on contemporary production of residential organic architecture in Central Europe. Especially on the particular realizations in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Germany and Poland. Beside detail description of European realizations, the dissertation deals also with foundations of organic architecture in U.S.A. and important realizations here. Modern organic architecture primarily originated in the United States of America. The work presents most important contemporary realizations and architects creating resident living organic architecture in other countries around the world in order to complete the overview. The objective of dissertation was describing newest trends in designing buildings for living. Find position of organic architecture and give reasons for it´s increasing popularity, spread and necessity for new development in architecture according to the new trends. Organic architecture is an alternative way of contemporary residential living. It´s popularity is growing in last years in response to the development of modern technologies and materials, the need to protect our natural resources and also to the increasing negatives of globalization and to denial of local traditions and regional specificities. Aspects of organic forms were divided into three main groups according to their main characteristics: form, harmony and sustainable development. Another objective was find location of contemporary organic residential architecture in Czech Republic and abroad. It is rather spread all over the world than concentrated on certain places. Therefore I selected countries that are richer than the others on the occurrence of organic buildings. The objective was also to address architects, specialists, public and especially university teachers of architecture and students themselves. Communication with them was mainly connected with grant project in 2010. The theme of grant project was contemporary organic architecture in residential living. There were lectures about contemporary organic architecture and exhibition on the theme: Contemporary living organic architecture. The publication of the catalog was published under the title: Contemporary organic houses - Europe. I had the opportunity to visit a number of organic family houses abroad. Specifically houses in Slovakia, Hungary and Germany. Results of survey, which was realized by questions to owners and authors of chosen buildings, are included in dissertation. The mail results of dissertation are - make a detail review of organic architecture in residential living - define trends in contemporary organic architecture and residential living - obtain and process answers from owners and authors of chosen buildings within survey - analysis of organic house ( houses) in city planning and landscape - publication of catalogue focused on organic contemporary European houses - article about contemporary organic architecture and residential living will be published in 2012 on archiweb page

Provisional Constellation 2015
Kadlčák, Šimon ; Vítková,, Lenka (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The book Boční pohled na zatmění Slunce (Side View on Solar Eclipse) is an artistic attempt to articulate own creative methodology. Simple verbal declamations, quotations from books and conceptual sketches may be understood as a headword complement to my work of past few years. If the reader is, by any reason, unacquainted to that work, the book should work as an autonomous poetical unit.

Technical human and human technique - about a relation between human and technique
Geisler, Felix ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Benyovszky, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis studies the topic of the relationship between man and technique through the lens of reflection on this relationship by selected thinkers of the last century who discussed this topic in some of their works (O. Spengler, J. Ortega y Gasset, A. Gehlen). One line of enquiry will trace the nuances of whether and how man constitutes technique, or whether and how technique shapes man. This work will not resolve this interdependence of man and technique once and for all, but it will outline perspectives from which this almost self-evident relationship can be problematized and brought into the questioning even for today. Technique has in fact been considered one of man's essential definitions since modern times. Man is conceived as a practical, acting and, above all, creative being - he transforms nature, that is, he creates a new, humanized second-order nature, which is technique. The second line of inquiry will highlight how technique appears as something that not only makes man human to some extent, but as that which threatens man's being as such. The two lines converge in the question of how much we are threatened by that what shapes us, or how much we are shaped by that what threatens us.
