Metaphysical essentials of Ladislav Klíma's philosophy
Kratochvíl, Jan ; Hogenová, Anna (referee) ; Rybák, David (referee)
This work focuses on the analysi s of methaphysical philosophy of a Czech writer and philosopher Ladislav Klíma. It studies his discourse with older philosophical tradition and his own sources of inspiration and demonstrates essential contradictions of the resulting philosophy - egosolism. The main focus of this work is in analysis of the transition of a certain methaphysical view on the world to ethical challenge and criticism of Christian faith as Klíma understood it. It is rather emotional than rational as Klíma's literary works show. They are also used to demonstrate his adherence to traditional methaphysical points of view. The final part of this work sums up Klíma's philosophical ideas from which inevitably stem these contradictions. A way of reading Klíma's body of work is offered which is indifferent to incoherences of Klíma's intelectual construct.

Problem of Grace in St. Augustin
Spiegelová, Veronika ; Rybák, David (advisor) ; Hauser, Michael (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with St. Augustine and his theology of grace. It briefly introduces the context of Augustine's philosophy, explains the basic terms, and mainly focuses on the interpretation of Augustine's study of grace. It first analyses the thoughts and ideas of Saint Paul, the Apostle, which are relevant to the subject. Then it moves on to explaining the continuous development of Augustine's study of grace: how it is portrayed in his early works, the way in which it developed in his argument with Pelagius, and finally it introduces Augustine's most radical idea - the concept of predestination from his work To Simplician. The last part of the thesis covers the corresponding topic of love, specifically the love of neighbour, as it is discussed by Hannah Arendth in her work Love and Saint Augustine.

Emmanuel Levinas on human freedom and relation to the other
Hreško, Ján ; Pelcová, Naděžda (advisor) ; Sokol, Jan (referee) ; Vogel, Jiří (referee)
Emmanuel Levinas on human freedom and relation to the other Ján Hreško ABSTRACT This dissertation deals with the philosophical problem of human freedom from an intersubjective and ethical point of view. It interprets and elaborates Emmanuel Levinas' understanding of freedom and shows that he paid considerable attention to this issue in his works. The thesis is based primarily on the formulation of this problem in his main post-war works but makes its thematic elaboration. It shows what role freedom plays within his ethics and its key ideas. The research follows the constitution of freedom of the corporal and economic being. It explains the criticism of freedom, the argument of justifying freedom and finally its investiture. Separately it focuses on the question of human position in history. Finally, it clarifies Levinas' main claim that responsibility precedes freedom. At the same time, it asks: In what sense did Levinas understand the ambiguous concept of freedom? Are there more notions of freedom? What is the relationship between my freedom and the freedom of the other? What does it mean that acceptance of ethical demand does not depend on my will or choice? And what is the positive significance of responsibility for the other? The main thesis of this work can be expressed as follows: according to...

Statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings
Zethner, Aleš ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
Statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings Abstract This thesis deals with the possible statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings or, as the case may be, identification of the conditions under which such statute of limitations is possible, since this becomes a current issue in a situation when there is an increase in the number of drawn up wills and length of inheritance proceedings. The thesis describes related legal institutions, including an analysis of related case law, and is applied to a specific case, whereas the author concludes that the statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings is possible, when the limitation period commences on the day that a disinherited descendant provably learned of the existence of a will and not the drawing up of a will or death of the testate. The author's conclusion, to a considerable extent, contradicts the very latest judgement of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic which is also analysed in the thesis. From the author's point of view, this judgement is a strongly law-making decision which is not entirely consistent with the previous decision-making of the Supreme Court of the Czech...
