Les Salons: Denis Diderot's art criticism
Kavalová, Eva ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
This work focuses on analysis of Denis Diderot's Salons, the comparison of their individual parts and their development. These writings are still very important for understanding the art of the 18th century. Moreover, they are also examples of a distinctive contribution of Diderot as critic combining aesthetic, ethical and philosophical scales. The work pays attention to the conditions of genesis of Salons, but mainly deals with literary criticism as a genre that the philosopher created and continually improved over the years. An important part is the analysis of author's way of discourse about individual painters (specifically Greuze, Chardin and Fragonard) and how it is often changing over time.

Ethical concept in Nick Cave's literary world
EDL, Tomáš
The bachelor thesis is a philosophical reflection of ethical aspects of Nick Cave's literary world. Particularly from the theological point of view, the author of thesis considers a possibility of a coherent ethical concept formation of the Cave's literary world, which is not in a contradiction with behaviour of Cave's characters regarding the moments of moral decision-making. As a key argument for the uneasiness to form any coherent ethical concept, is considered to be Cave's preference of morality and refusing morals in the concept which is being presented. The author suggests the hypothesis of the unitary nature of conscience of Cave's characters as a possible ethical concept of the Cave's literary world.

The ethic in works of T.G.Masaryk
DUŠKOVÁ, Helena
Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk was an influential person of the modern history. Today, people know him more as a president of the Czechoslovak Republic. However, T. G. Masaryk was not only a politician, but also a philosopher with strong moral principles. The aim of my work was to bring some of T. G. Masaryk?s books back to life, and focus on the ethical principles that are included in his work. I consider T. G. Masaryk?s intellectual heritage to be still valid. I focused on particular essays that T. G. Masaryk wrote and choose his most important ethical thoughts within there texts through a precise analysis. I choose his books ?Ideály humanitní?, ?Sebevražda hromadným jevem společenské osvěty?, ?O škole a vzdělání? and the lecture ?O ženě? as the basis of my work. In the practical part of my work, I examined the knowledge of the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice through a survey. I set three hypotheses for this inquiry. The results of my research show that students know biographical facts about T. G. Masaryk well, they make mistakes in the identification of his books, have only partial knowledge of his life philosophy and that none of the students has ever read any of his books.

AIDS - a Disease or God´s Punishment?
VOBORNÍKOVÁ, Daniela
Present work deals with the solution of the strain between Jewish-Christian picture of good and loving God and a tragic reality of AIDS phenomenon. The work looks for answers to questions such as: Is a human being able to influence their health by an ethical way of life? To what extend are we responsible for our diseases and difficulties? Is a disease God´s punishment?{\crqq} What is (can be) the sense of a disease? How can we explain the suffering of the innocent? The work looks for the connections between a disease and a sin, between AIDS and an immoral life. The work presents the HIV/AIDS issue as a phenomenon concerning all people without a difference. It solves if it is possible to perceive AIDS as a kind of God punishment for sinful and immoral behaviour of people, as a consequence of structural maleficence or a personal carelessness of a human person. It points out the methods of primary prevention and reminds the task of a Christian to bring Christian values into a human society. The way out is found in the change of thinking and behaviour of people: in the appreciation and acquirement of ethical demands and opening to God blessing for the assumption of belief.

Comparative study of legislation and impact of social economic factors in prostitution problems of The Czech Republic and Austria.
HÝSEK, Václav
Abstract The theoretical framework of this thesis aims to analyze in a deeper way the matter of prostitution, pointing out to the present situation of this social matter in the Czech Republic as well as the connected or closely related criminality. Within the context of prostitution, general terms are specified along with the forms of prostitution, including the new so called ``laufhäuser{\crqq} (through house), present legal regulations and the impact of prostitution on the Czech economy. Furthermore, the health aspects of prostitution are also marginally dealt with. The subject of the thesis is ``Comparative Study of the Legislation and Impact of the Social and Economic Factors in the Matter of Prostitution in the Czech Republic and Austria{\crqq}. The main objective of the thesis research was to answer the research question - whether the present legislation concerning the legal regulations of prostitution is more favourable in Austria. Directed interviews were chosen as the research method, carried out with the members of the Czech Republic{\crq}s Police, who deal with the issue of prostitution on a daily basis within their job responsibilities and are aware of the problems connected with prostitution in the Czech Republic as well as the neighbouring states, Austria - Upper Austria in particular. The selected sample of police employees unambiguously confirmed that adopting a prostitution act similar to the present one in Austria would be of a benefit not only for the police, but for society itself. Should we relate to the present state of prostitution in the Czech Republic and problems connected, it can only be stated that the only effective and system solution for the future is to adopt an individual prostitution act. Prostitution cannot be wiped out in society, as long as the demand for and supply of these services exist; however it can be successfully rectified. Prostitution has never been and is not an accidental and sporadic phenomenon; it is and will be exercised in any political system, often even in spite of severe repression.

Christian Education as an Education toward Values
HEROUT, Jiří
This bachelor's thesis deals with the question of Christian education and of a gradual acceptance of values. Free will and reason appear to be the principal determinants of this acceptance. In the thesis, the view of the Pope and pedagogue John Paul II is outlined which emphasizes human person because of the dignity which was given to a man by God. A value is presented here as a gift of mutual appurtenance when people are dependent upon mutual help, not for a material lust but for the fulfilment of their Christian vocation. In the thesis, this approach is presented by the Christian thinker and philosopher Immanuel Kant.
