Philosophical interpretation of biblical concept of creation in Genesis 1,1-2,3
Hanyš, Milan ; Sokol, Jan (advisor) ; Kružík, Josef (referee)
The thesis deals with the concept of creation in Genesis 1:1-2:4a, which is seen as a fundamental text of the European culture. The first part concludes the exegesis of the key motives of the text in its historical in literary context. The attention is particularly given to the motives that are often exposed and interpretated in European intellectual history (creatio ex nihilo, imago dei, creation by word, goodness of the world). In the second part the attention is confined to philosophical, social and political implications and consequences of the biblical concept of creation. The text is seen as a fundamental point from which springs the European concepts of equality and human rights, positive liberty, inclusive type of monotheism and the autonomy of the world. Two contemporary philosophical conceptualizations of the creation concept (of Jan Sokol and Hans Jonas) are introduced and discussed at the end of the thesis.
