The Zeis Family in Tábor Public Life
DĚDIČOVÁ, Pavla
The bachelor work "The Zeis Family in Tábor Public Life" records the history of the town of Tábor in the second half of 19th century. It describes town gradual urbanization and industrialization and at the same time the work tries to refer to the influence of the elite Tábor family. The Zeis family belonged indisputably to the most noticeable Tábor families. Its most important members were Jakub and Emanuel Zeis, father and son, who were involved in Tábor public life since the beginning of the second half of 19th century. Jakub was the first self-governing Mayor of the town in 1850 {--} 1870 and Emanuel was the third Mayor in 1883 {--} 1889. Subsequently he was made the head of the district and worked as the district Mayor until he died. In the course of more then fifty years Tábor developed essentially: there has been established Tábor secondary education system, the town became an important South-Bohemian transport junction and industry grew too. During these days the town formed as an exclusively Czech self-governing centre. New societies were being founded, the famous Hussite history was remembered and there has been built a number of monuments to commemorate national heroes. The turning point period around year 1918 concludes the bachelor work. Not only because Emanuel Zeis died in this year but also because of the fact, that year 1918 closes one phase of the national history. The last Chapter describes the town and Zeis family from point of view of an outstanding native of Tábor Emanuel Chalupný. This part of the bachelor work contrasts with the rest of the work as attitude of Emanuel Chalupný to the Zeis Family is really impossibly to be assessed as positive.

"Principle of my philosophical outlook." Romantic Naturphilosophie of Georg Franz Buquoy
MORAWETZ, Michal
The bachelor thesis is focused on a reconstruction of fundamental ideas in the philosophy of Georg Franz Buquoy. It is based on the analysis of his tract Kern meiner philosophischen Grundansicht (around 1825), which only exists as a manuscript, and is deposited in Buquoy's Family Archives in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň. The discussion of this subject is based on methods of intellectual history. I proceed from the current debate on the relationship between natural science and humanities at the time of late enlightenment and romanticism. I endeavour to reintegrate Buquoy's oeuvre into the historical scientific and social context, and interpret his ideas about the world order and about the role of nature, man, and God in this world. The introductory chapter surveys the development of the historical research and analyzes the historical works I have used. Apart from that, I reconstruct Buquoy´s image in the historiography and explain which archival sources I have used. The 2nd chapter introduces the philosophical way of thinking in the Austrian Vormärz and explains the main ideas of German and Austrian Naturphilosophie. The following chapter focuses on education, learning and the interests of Georg Franz Buquoy. The fourth chapter analyses the philosophical tract under discussion.

The Short Prosaic Form of the Czech Literary Decadence
SOUKUP, Jiří
The goal of the work advanced is to examine the problems of the Czech literary decadence, the term itself and the possible limits of its use. As a basic material we investigate a corpus of texts belonging mainly to the short story genre, also paying attention to the model of a decadent novel and being interested in the most significant decadent features. The problems of literary decadence do not belong to profoundly explored topics in the history of the Czech literature, incidentally conditioned by the preference of the symbolist and decadent poetry. That is why this work was to present some texts themselves, potentially representative for the model of a decadent short story genre and of certain artistic value. The text of this work consists of three main parts. The first presents the possibilities of progressive insight into the topic, its cultural and philosophical context, showing two model novels (Huysmans{\crq} A Rebours and Wilde{\crq}s The Picture of Dorian Gray) as different but relevant types of the decadent living scheme, the specific conception of life and the role of art in it. The second part applies several theoretical questions onto the topic, constructing the form. In the final part more than two tens of original Czech short stories are concerned and the thematic composition analysed, that at least some questions asked in the previous parts could be answered and certain theses postulated proved.
