Czech Literary Anarchism in the Context of Socialism and the Women's Movement (1890-1914) Abstract The thesis focuses on Czech pre-WWI anarchism. It analyses it as a modernist movement comprising various activities spanning political propaganda, proposals of social organisation and thinking about moral values as well views on the arts and literary production. The aim is to present literary texts written by anarchists against a backdrop of other types of expression. At the same time, the thesis assesses anarchism in the historical context of other political, social, artistic and philosophical movements. We study the interweaving of ideological and aesthetic schemes of Czech anarchism, especially with socialism and feminism, but also concerning decadence, Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and writings of the German Friedrichshagen poets' and anarchists' circle. The thesis focuses on how anarchism understands human beings and their relationship to the world and society. Given the anarchists' focus on the free individual, we present strategies of emancipation from traditional conventions and institutions such as marriage, family and the state. We also concentrate on reforms concerning morals and similarities with the feminist turn to one's own bodily and psychical experiences as starting points for setting...

Nietzsche and today
Hlídková, Veronika ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Jirásková, Věra (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with Friedrich Nietzsche philosophy, especially his two works - The Birth of Tragedy and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The first work, The Birth of Tragedy, was chosen, because it is author's first work and it built the basis for writing of his work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The second work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, was chosen, because it is the most important work from the philosophical point of view. The goal of the thesis is to examine both of these works and focus on Nietzsche's most important thoughts. The first work, The Birth of Tragedy, connects four important influences - the first is cultural interest that manifests itself on the artistic level through encounter of two elements - Apollonian and Dionysian, the second influence is the attempt to grasp the Greek antiquity in a new way in contrast to classicist insisting on the Greek harmony, the third is Shopenhauer philosophy and the last one is almost divine respectability to Richard Wagner, who was Nietzsche's loyal friend. The second work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, shows in itself in the form of aphorisms, legends and myths the basis thoughts of Nietzsche's philosophy - death of God, nihilism, the will to power, the creation of "Übermensch", eternal return and the critique of mass culture. The work is not a collection of...

Nietzche and the Present Day
Koláček, Václav ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Blažková, Miloslava (referee)
The first part of this thesis makes the task to illuminate Nietzsche 's basic concepts, as is "The Will of Power", "Superman" and The Eternal Return" to be understood as the most directly substance of his basic filosophic views. This understanding is a necessary assumption for the second part. Its intention is refer the connection of Nietzsche with this age. It opens question for ethos. The author talks about ontologic diference and its connection in relation to a man of today in the third part. The ethos at thinker do not find it finally, and so it forges to fourth part to only possible relevant step forward. Though it is finding etics in source of every man as background from postmodern 's nihilism. The aim of the thesis is to show not only that Niezzsche destroyed ethical values. These values were inculcated by institutions of power for a long time. By this destroying, he created the bridge to finding himself. It is task and postmodern still does not mature to it, but environment has already been ready here.

Fodorová, Aneta ; Rybák, David (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
This thesis observes chosen Greek motives through the eyes of a very special German philosopher of the nineteenth century Friedrich Nietzsche. The main aim, more specifically speaking, is to introduce Nietzsche's understanding of the Greek culture and thinking and to follow Nietzsche in his inpiration and intergration of Greek ideas into his own philosophy. There is an emphasis put on the revelation of Nietzsche's problematic understanding and grabbing of Greek thoughts, which happen to be very frequent. What is crucial for this paper is a thorough interpretation of individual motives and their position in Nietszche's philosophy. The focal thoughts are the following: apollinian and dionysian art, relationship between Socrates and Plato as well as of Nietzsche and Herakleitos, and the concept of overman. The impact of Nietzsche's understanding the Greeks in today's society is also taken into consideration. Key words Art, Apollon, Dionysos, Socrates, life, Zarathustra, the eternal recurrance of the same, game, fire, child, overman, agon

The Problem of Freedom and Creativity in Nietzsche
Kobylka, Vít ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
The Thesis aims to explore the problem of Freedom and Creativity in Nietzsche. It attempts to do so in respect to the two main concepts of his high and late writings. Concept of Superman and concept of the Eternal recurrence of the same. In this respect our text follows especially interpretations of Martin Heidegger. We begin our treatise with situating Nietzsche's concept of freedom among more traditional thought and we put emphasis on comparison of it to the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. In the next phase we reject (with Martin Heidegger and Ivan Dubský) simplifying understanding of the Eternal reccurence which understands it as dull determinism. We also analyse the topic of Creativity in Nietzsche and introduce it as fundamental anthropological theme. In the following chapters we identify certain moods that allow us to experience perspective of the Eternal reccurence and the one of Superman, which gives us chance to understand both concepts in their connection. But this connection remains enigmatic and in the last chapter we try, with help of Kierkegaard's concept of the moment, to understand both thoughts in their complementarity not only united in the concept of creativity, but also through Nietzsche's concept of the moment, understood as the original understanding of one of the aspects of...

Nietzsche and Dostojevsky. Idea of superman
Hrybkova, Katsiaryna ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
Present thesis aims at revealing both touching points and different points of departure in Nietzsche's and Dostoevsky's concept of superman by using so called philosophical- anthropological approach to the questions matter. It takes into account not only complete context of oeuvre of both authors but also wider cultural and historical context of their time. Basic point of departure of this thesis is expectation of crucial position of man in the oeuvre of Nietzsche and Dostoevsky as well, both understanding man as essentially defined as free to choice. Analysis of characteristics defining essence of man leads after to elaboration of idea of superman - conclusion of final judgement of human beings' essential characteristics and visions of future principle of man. Having closely analysed particular landmarks on the way from man to superman in the form of particular types of relations to each person's being and freedom - last man, upper man and superman (or common and exceptional man) - we are arriving to systematic comparison of motif of superman in the thinking of both authors, to associated concepts (negative and positive freedom, suppression of nihilism and so on) and finally to its general meaning. KEY WORDS F. Nietzsche, F. M. Dostoevsky, superman, freedom, nihilism, upper man, last man, will to...
