Conception of Dailiness
Jandová, Tereza ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Sokol, Jan (referee)
The Concept of everyday life in the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas in dialogue with Martin Heidegger By analysing everyday life with Levinas I try to reveal that the « familiar » or the « ordinary » world does not have to be considered as impersonal, as a decline or as a deficiency, but on the contrary, that such a naif situation can gain an essential status for the concept of a man as such. Confrontation between Levinas and Heidegger shows us, that the gravity of Dasein remains inside of him and for that reason the everyday life seeks to relieve, whereas what Levinas tries to do is exactly to remove from the very beginning this gravity from the subject into his dependence and responsiblity for the Other. Suprisingly, the everyday life characterised by enjoyment remains more charged with Levinas than is the case with Heidegger. Thus we do not need to search for an escape from everyday life in the depth of Dasein to discover his fundaments, but on the contrary we have to stay in a dialogue with the Other, in an ethic relation with other person and all this within the everyday life.

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.
