L. Annaeus Seneca, Naturales quaestiones. Translation and Commentary, book I.
Ctibor, Jan ; Kuťáková, Eva (advisor) ; Kalivoda, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis is the first translation of a part of the work Naturales Quaestiones by Lucius Annaeus Seneca. It is also one of the first works altogether, which deals with this tract. The Naturales Quaestiones is Seneca's only preserved scientific work and also the only work that deals with Stoic physics. From today's point of view, this piece of writing is not purely scientific: in Stoicism physics is very closely related to ethics and the investigation of nature serves Seneca as a point of departure for his ethical conclusions. In the opening chapters of this bachelor thesis brief information about the author and the contemporary context of the text is presented. The main part of the bachelor thesis is the translation and commentary of the first book of the Naturales Quaestiones. This commentary focuses on the philosophical and ethical tracts and on their connections with the scientific parts of the book. In addition to that, it also focuses on the scientific problems and phenomena the book deals with. 1
Conception of language and style by M. Cornelius Fronto (translation and commentary)
Ctibor, Jan ; Bažil, Martin (advisor) ; Mouchová, Bohumila (referee)
This thesis is one of the first works in the Czech language dealing with the personality and work of Marcus Cornelius Fronto, Roman rhetor of 2. century A. D. and teacher of Marcus Aurelius. After the palimpsest with the correspondence of Fronto was found in early 19th century, the reputation of this man suffered greatly. The man had been seen for many decades as superficial and flat archaisator, whose letters have no or only very little value for us. The aim of this tesis is to examinate the most problematical questions connected with Fronto, firstly his attitude to philosophy and the opinion, that archaism is the main and ubiquitous characteristic of his style. This theoretical treatise is accompanied with translation of several selected texts.
