Roots of Existential Phenomenology of Simone de Beauvoir
Štěpánek, Daniel ; Fulka, Josef (advisor) ; Bierhanzl, Jan (referee)
The theme of our work is concentrated on basic sources of inspiration of french thinker, Simone de Beauvoir. As we are trying to show, ways of conceptualization of human existence, that are common to works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre, are main focus stones, on which is being build individualization of existential phenomenological thought of Simone de Beauvoir. Therefore, our interpretation is aimed on making visible those themes, that are most important as ilustrations of these interpretations. To achieve this goal we are using She Came to Stay, the first novel of Beauvoir, where we are seeing first manifestations of main themes of her later works.

Jewish Condition as Image of Marginalization
Pavlíková, Kristina ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
The theme of this bachelor thesis is the life and literary work of Jacques de Lacretelle, a French literature figure of the 20th century. Its aim is to expound his extensive work which is nowadays almost forgotten. The thesis focuses mainly on Lacretelle's vision of the Jews as described in his two novels- Silbermann and The return of Silbermann. Based on the detailed analysis the thesis tries to understand the reasons of choosing the Jewish motif for Lacretelle's work and personal connotations in it. Lacretelle's life and work is studied in comparison with a Czech author called Ladislav Fuks. We shortly introduce this writer, main events of his life connected with his literary work and his unique style of writing based on the method of substitute literary themes. This approach is subsequently applied on Lacretelle's writings and gives us a new point of view of them. Also we try to compare the series about Silbermann with Fuks's short-story anthology called Mí černovlasí bratři. At the end we draw a comparison between Lacretelle and Fuks and try to discover resemblances in their lives and works. This enables to understand their motives to choose the Jews as the main characters of their writings, probably connected mainly to their feeling of non-acceptance caused by their homosexuality.

Maslakova, Zhanna ; Hlaváček, Antonín (advisor) ; Hříbková, Radka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the characteristic features of "the 3rd emigrational wave" authors' creative mentality; and to establish a model of the collective self-representation of the Russian emigrants in 1960-70s using publicistic pieces and essay collections by Pyotr Vail and Alexander Genis. The research illustrated in this thesis belongs to one of the most relevant and topical areas of literary studies. There have been made several scientific researches in order to achieve the goal. The methods used are: the analysis of socio-cultural, economic and political background which had place during "the 3rd wave" of emigration; a review of the scientific literature regarding the emigrant writers' creative methods; an investigation and classification of writers' methods peculiarities which correlate with the topic established; conclusions. As a result we get a holistic model of the collective self-representation of the Russian "3rd wave" emigrants which includes key features of their mentality, character, mood, habits, daily life etc.

The Problem of Self-consciousness in Fichte's Philosophy. Study in Pragmatic History of the Human Mind
Vrabec, Martin ; Karásek, Jindřich (advisor) ; Sobotka, Milan (referee) ; Kuneš, Jan (referee)
Submitted essay is an inquiry into J. G. Fichte's early philosophy focused particularly on Foundation of the Entire Wissenschaftslehre as a central work of his early period. Interpretation is based on assumption that its principal aim consists in manifestation of the way leading to emergence of our commonsense and ordinary understanding with reference to both world and ourselves. This approach carries Fichte's affilation with tendency inherent to transcendental philosophy of his era not only in its search for the origin of empirical knowledge, but for the origin of aprioristic structures of our experience especially. His transcendentally laden search manifests itself as so called "pragmatic history of the human mind", the principal object of our inquiry. Here we can find an attempt to reconstruct just transcendental, but not "real", temporally sequential, genesis of our mind from original state of feeling to our common representation both about independently existing things and ourselves as free cognizing subjects. Application of this philosophical method allows him to genetically derive and justify basic forms of our experience and its aprioristic components like space, time, substantiality or causality. The first part of essay introduces fundamental principles of Fichte's philosophical system and...
