The Praxeology of Tadeusz Kotarbiński and its Contribution to the Economic Theory
Vosyková, Martina ; Vaverka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hudík, Marek (referee)
This paper focuses on the characterisation of approach of Tadeusz Kotarbiński, a Polish scientist, to the praxeological thought, which is mainly based on a study of Kotarbiński's work 'Traktat o dobrej robocie'. In this work Kotarbiński formulated the basics of praxeology as a new branch of science. This paper also aims to assess the significance of Kotarbiński's praxeology for economic theory, using a confrontation of Kotarbiński's approach to praxeology with the approach of Austrian school, which had widened the term 'praxeology' into the economic field. Because of the fact, that Kotarbińsky's not intending to contribute directly to the economics, we cannot a priori expect to find any significant contributions. However, an interesting area for this examination can be the area of the rationality of conduct and the area of planning, which is widely analysed in Kotarbiński's essay 'Ogólne pojęcie planu'.

Axiologic Aspects In Karel Englis's and Friedrich von Wieser's Writing
Melzochová, Jitka ; Vaverka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hudík, Marek (referee)
Karel Englis's economic thought is derived from theories of Austrian school representatives; let us say its founders. Theory of value, a fundamental element of economic thought, he takes over and inserts to his original conception of polylogic based on three ways of thinking. The noetic ambiguity of terms in the theory that the oldest Austrian thinkers commit and is criticised by Englis is uncovered by rigorous implementation to the teleological order of thinking which presents the unique allowable way in economic science. Friedrich von Wieser, the founder of Austrian economic school besides Böhm-Bawerk sets up his own theory of value which is compared with Englis's doctrine in this thesis. The absence of honest formalization and psychological nature of the laws of human action in Wieser's piece is unacceptable for Englis as well as the execration of opportunity cost by Englis for Wieser. The author of this thesis tries to prove the illogicality of Englis's arguments for his negative attitude forwards opportunity cost.

Srovnání konceptů Negativní důchodové daně a jejich využití pro sociální reformu v České republice
Vaverka, Tomáš ; Adamec, Václav (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
Nepříznivý demografický vývoj v první polovině tohoto století dramatickým způsobem zatíží sociální systém nejen v České republice. Mnozí odborníci již delší dobu poukazují na neschopnost moderního státu blahobytu pružně reagovat na potřeby svých chráněnců a také na cenu, kterou tito musí platit ve formě ztráty produktivity, technologického vývoje a nakonec i volného času za jistotu, která se postupně stává spíše nejistotou. Cílem mé práce bude prozkoumat koncept negativní důchodové daně jako alternativu tohoto vývoje. Postupně se bude zabývat některými interpretacemi tohoto konceptu s důrazem na vyhledání základních cílů a principů. S ohledem na kritiku z různorodých táborů se pokusí jednotlivé definované cíle a principy analyzovat. Následně se zaměří na možnosti realizace návrhu v České republice.
