Belief in Capital
Sirotek, Jan ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Blažková, Miloslava (referee)
The work describes phenomenons and thoughts which led and oftentimes still lead to a birth, a forming and a stabilization of market capitalism as a main philosophy of present world in the course of history as well as nowadays. The Analysis focuses on phenomenons of both material and spiritual characters. It exposes a spirit which accompanies man from everlasting. Through guise of God, man, the rabble, a state, a nation and a work is it being transformated into capital as self purpose. The science and its methodology caused this certainty seeking turnabout from transcendent thoughts to rational classification of matter. Due to its own discovery that matter is only a kind of energy confesses the science to its religious substance. A pursuit of profit resulting as well in life in affluence becomes then the main point of entire efforts of saturation.

Ideas of hedonism and stoicism implemented in today's world of economy
Djikanovic, Ivana ; Janotík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Eckertová, Eva (referee)
The main motivation for this work was to show that economy cannot be explained just by economy. Many other sciences are essential for understanding economic processes and models of behavior. This paper presents the proven relations between the philosophy, economics and psychology. The study of different economic concepts requires development of an extensive network of connections between humans on the one side, and their social needs and behavior on the other side. The starting point is the return in the time of Ancient Greeks, with whose theoretical approaches can be explained the majority of person's actions. This paper uses theoretical analyses to assess the impact of the "passions and interests", hedonic happiness and stoic self-interest on the economic policy and individuals. Through the gently presented forms of hedonism, this work deals with different theories such as theory of modern consumerism, marginal utilitarianism, preference theory, theory of rational allocation. The data gathered in the form of publication analysis, little psychological experiments and real life examples serve to test the hypothesis of the direct relationship between hedonistic impacts on economic theory. The two research questions are dealing with mastery of passions and interest in the economic behavior as well as with the...

VOLEK, Jan
The thesis analyzes and compares the approaches of two authors dealing with phenomena in contemporary society. It focuses mainly on issues of lifestyle and values. The thesis asks questions related to socialization and individualization of society. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first part is about definition of the basic terms (postmodernism, lifestyle, values). The second part is devoted to the concept of Gilles Lipovetsky. The third part focuses on the concept of Michel Maffesoli. In the fourth section, there is a comparison of these two concepts, where we are primarily focused on tracing argumentation clashes and controversies. In the final part, there is the presentation of the main questions and ideas, that come out on the basis of this comparison.

Ethical preconditions of parental decisions in settling affairs concerning minors
TŮMOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis opens with the distinction of the concepts of a human being and a person. It then discusses two important philosophical approaches towards these concepts: exclusive and inclusive. It further deals with the relationship of a person to his or her closest surroundings and the acquisition of self-ownership, thanks to which a person can meaningfully pronounce "I". The thesis thus attempts to unfold the way of thinking that leads towards ethical decision making. In the second part of the thesis, contemporary ethical theories as utilitarianism, individualism and hedonism are discussed. A practical study of custodial files at the Authority of Social and Legal Protection of Minors (OSPOD) in a district town in South Bohemia follows, which examines - from the available judgments of the district court - how parents are able to cope with such a binding turning point in their life as divorce or separation from a partner. The thesis attempts to evaluate clearly the different behaviour of adults during processes of settling their relationships towards their minor children, as they are described in the court case studies. Synoptical graphs are used to indicate which types of behaviour occur and to what extent during actions in court. At the end of the thesis, the research and its surprising and hopefully optimistic outcome for future activities of OSPOD is summarized.
