Selected aspects of Nicholas of Cusa's cosmology and anthropology
Miencil, Petr ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Dolista, Josef (referee)
Selected aspects of Nicholas of Cusa's cosmology and anthropology This thesis targets selected topics of theology of creation and of man, that is, theological cosmology and anthropology in the work of a Renaissance philosopher, theologian, mathematician and scientist Nicholas of Cusa. I shall first introduce Cusanus' curriculum vitae, it's historical context and basic characteristics of theological anthropology in the work of Cusanus. After this, I shall present in greater detail selected topics of his mathematical theology, including historical context of this specific discourse on God, world and man using language of mathematics. This includes mathematical description of both created world and of theological reality, e.g. God's transcendence and immanence, the place of man in the universe, or the role of universe which has a mediating role between God and man in the works of Cusanus. Mathematical language used by Cusanus is part of a wide stream of Neoplatonist philosophical and theological tradition. Cusanus is inspired not only by pre-Christian philosophical traditions (Pythagorean school, Plotinus' concept of One), but also by Greek patristic writers like Gregory of Nyssa, Maximus the Confessor, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. In his concept of "great conjecture" Cusanus presents a model of...

Human Being as Pert of Creation in the Theology of Dumitru Stăniloae
Miencil, Petr ; Noble, Ivana (advisor) ; Bauerová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis targets selected topics of theology of creation and of man, that is, theological cosmology and anthropology in the work of Romanian orthodox theologian Dumitru Stăniloae. I will first introduce his curriculum vitae, corpus of his work and its historical context. After this, I will present selected topics of his cosmology and anthropology; i.e. attributes of created world and of man, for example rationality of the world, it's transparency towards God, theological meaning of time, space, malleability and finality of creation. Part of my thesis deals with topic of theosis of man and of world in Dumitru Stăniloae's theology. His work presents interesting coherence with modern concept of natural philosophy: the anthropic principle. Cosmology and anthropology of Dumitru Stăniloae draws strong inspiration in patristic literature, namely in work of Maximus Confessor. Dumitru Stăniloae's work accentuates unity of man and creation; represented by man before God. Creation reaches self-conscientious, rational status in humans, and in this sense human beings are part of Maximus' concept of logoi-Logos, which is further developed by Dumitru Stăniloae and presented by him in current theological discourse regarding created world.
