Hlavnička, Miroslav ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Mašek, Vojtěch (referee)
This thesis deals with the interpretation of the text of the Beatitudes in the Gospel of Matthew. It is an attempt to evaluate the reference text in terms of Christian ethics. It poses the question of the presence of morally relevant content, ethical implications, in Jesus' Beatitudes. In an effort to understand the text it first discusses the proper handling of the Biblical text and hermeneutics as an effort to understand the text. With the standardized explanatory commentary the exegesis of the reference text Mt 5,3-12 is made. Based on the evaluation of the interpretations the thesis is determined. But the work does not finish with the exegesis of the text, but attempts to move towards the theological ethics. It identifies the Beatitudes as particularly emphasized attitudes. Christological interpretation of the Beatitudes as a portrait of Jesus is attached in the last chapter.

Theological Aspects of Coaching
Macek, Karel ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Mašek, Vojtěch (referee)
Coaching is a modern tool for personal development with many advantages and successful applications. However, some concerns arise from the religious and ethical perspectives. Links to esoterics and New Age have been proclaimed by leaders of coaching schools that operate in the Czech Republic. Moreover, a survey has indicated that ethical limits of Czech coaches are more liberal than the official position of the Catholic Church. Thus, for a Catholic Christian, the coaching is promising as well as questionable. Biblical texts, as well as the facts from the subsequent history of Church, indicate many similarities: Christianity has exhibited marks of coaching since the very beginnings. On the other hand, most of the coaching schools deny God, absolute truth, or the concept of sin. An appropriate approach how to address this tension is a reflection of anthropological fundaments. Analyzing sincerely one of the coaching schools (Neuroleadership), we can conclude that all of them have clear counterparts in the Christian doctrine. In spite to this positive conclusion, it is necessary to be cautious when facing practical ethical dilemmas. A wise application of the coaching approach can be helpful also in the spiritual direction. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Role of State from moral theology perspectives
Štolle, Petr ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Mašek, Vojtěch (referee)
The role of state is questioned using the theological point of view. Therefore this is not work of sociology, political or historical science. The theological thinking is based on the words of the Bible that is followed by other church documents. Basic sources for this work are documents of International theological commission and texts of professor C.V. Pospíšil. The aim of this work is not pointing on specific cases but looking for moral theology principles and rules. The starting point is that state can never a be direct object of theological studies because that can only be an individual person. The main rule for searching the answers is the fact, that state should only be one of tools for delivering the common good. Also the common good should never be considered the target itself, because the common good only embraces the sum of conditions whereby man can attain its perfection. The results of analyses made are tested against Pope Francis' text Evangelii Gaudium, founding many similarities.

Javorská, Michala ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Mašek, Vojtěch (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis called "Ethics of the Garden" is to introduce the ecological-ethical issue and the closely related question about the role of a mankind in the world. First of all, the main aim is to introduce the ecological-ethical concept of the American author Michael Pollan. In this concept, a garden is viewed as a source of elementary ethical principals that are applicable in the relationship of mankind to nature. That is why it is called "Ethics of the Garden". The practical part of the thesis is dedicated to the individual principles of this concept. It introduces its characteristics and it also gives specific examples of the practical application of the principles of the "Ethics of the garden" within the context of central Europe.
