Plato's Parmenides from a logical point of view
 Nalevajková, Nikola ; Vlasáková, Marta (advisor) ; Dostálová, Ludmila (referee)
The main subject of my thesis is the so called "Third Man Argument". It is an objection, which appeared already during Plato's life and was raised against Plato's Theory of forms. As a reaction to this argument, Plato wrote the dialogue Parmenides, to formulate it explicitly, together with other objections which attacked his forms that time as well. After study of the dialogue itself follows a part devoted to three different attitudes to the issue of Third Man Argument, namely by G. Vlastos, E. N. Zalta and F.J. Pelletier and at last by M. S. Cohen. On Last pages are mentioned attitudes, which see Forms as universals and sets.

Power, Fragility, Modesty: Dialogoval Contexts in the Charmides
 Hobza, Pavel
Author suggests to solve the problem of the compatibility of the apories in Charmides with Plato's theory of knowledge. The proposed solution consists in formal inquiry of the dialogue's structure. In the first step, Boháček compares the way of argumentation as well as dramatic structure of Charmides with "small Socratic" dialogues as Ion; Charmides proves to be completely different. The second step consists in Boháček’s own analysis of the common structure of the "transitive" dialogues represented by Lysis and Protagoras. In this group, Socrates converses with two paradigmatic partners: the weaker potential pupil and the stronger one, who stands for an authority and potential teacher of the weaker partner. Socrates defeats the rival, but doesn't offer any positive knowledge to the weaker young partner; he stands only for personal example and offers practical guidance. Charmides is identified with this common scheme and classified as a typical transitive dialogue.
