Constructing the continuity of rational and moral dimensions of value in expert institutions
 Hanzlík, Kryštof ; Čada, Karel (advisor) ; Numerato, Dino (referee)
In this theoretically focused thesis I make use of the example of vaccination against infectious diseases to show how expert institutions define value of its products through constructing a continuity of its rational and moral dimensions. This continuity allows rational and moral arguments to naturally complement themselves in a coherent discoursive and procedural frame which I call an institutional regime of the value of vaccination. Regarding general public, its crucial products are sanctions in the form of imputing decisional competence to those who vaccinate and decisional incompetence to those who do not. This competence is understood as both sign of optimal rationality and morally responsible behaviour which takes into account the common good. But besides external imputation, a decisional competence is also acquired through individual activity, which takes on a special importance for those who reject vaccination. They manage the imputations of incompetence through constituting alternative definitions of the value of health care in which they stress the importance of natural treatment and individual responsibility. These definitions of value manifest both on the level of narrowly focused rational discussion of expert recommendations and the level of more general ideas about legitimate ways to...

Opposing compulsory vaccination as an expression of elementary classification of effective substances
 Hanzlík, Kryštof ; Čada, Karel (advisor) ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee)
My thesis is concerned with a public resistance to compulsory vaccination, which has only recently become a problem to watch in Czech Republic. It aims to demonstrate different ways of interaction between the expert medical discourse, which advocates and sanctions vaccination, and the discourse of a particular group of vaccination objectors. They include different conceptualizations of expert knowledge, evaluating a legitimacy of the expert institutions and a conflict between experts' claim to take care of a public health and a demand to put the responsibility for one's health in the hands of each citizen. These motives also take places in two general conceptualisations of health and disease. The conceptualisation which is typical for vaccination objectors stresses the importance of a natural and holistic treatment but it also shares some similarities with the expert conceptualisation. These differences and similarities have been systemically examined in a qualitative analysis of 18 interviews with parents refusing to vaccinate their children. It proposes an elementary classification of effective substances along with the criteria of their harmfulness which include rational calculations of particular risks but also the synthetic nature of the substance, its manufacturing and distribution by...
