The animate body. The veneration for the body as one of aspects of the ecological life
Dvořáková, Tereza ; Opletalová, Lenka (referee) ; Ortová, Jitka (advisor)
This project deals with sphere of the human ecology. The author considers connections between human relation to the body and relation to nature. She proposes that an ecological opinion is influenced by human position to the body. She asserts the body is a part of human society as well as nature. In the first part, the author sketches metamorphoses of science's paradigm in last centuries. She focuses mainly on the contrast between a mechanistic look of modern period and a dynamic outlook of previous pre - modern periods. The next part of this project tries to map different aspects of ecological approach to the body. Firstly, the author brings various historical approaches to the body, especially them which are connected with our contemporary relation to the body. Further, she considers relations between the human body and human society, between the body and the home (as oikos). She also compares the wilderness of the human body with the landscape. Next topics are related to connection between the body, language and the world of the dreaming, symbols and archetyps. In one part is paid attention to a topic: the body as a border. The conclusion of this project is intended as a list of various ways of ecological work with the body. The author alludes for example holistic perception, techniques of imagination,...

Kaiser, Tomáš ; Souček, Martin (advisor) ; Smetáček, Vladimír (referee)
The first part of this paper refers to main streams in defining the term information for the purpose of information science and states its own definition flowing from the aspect of informativness. Information is understood in its relationship to meaning, as something which points or refer to something else. Also the terms data and meaning are discussed. The second part of this paper presents the philosophical view of society and world based on the terms defined above.

Myth: Socialist Realism
Brederová, Tatiana ; Vinař, Josef (advisor) ; Boková, Marie (referee)
In my work Ifocus on the socialistic realism drama in Czechoslovakia, which was formed during the period 1948-1956 (playwrights such as Vojtěch Cach, Václav Káňa, Peter Karvaš, Štefan Králik, Ján Skalka...). The aim of my work is to define the unified signs of dramatic works, declared by Andrei Zhdanov, and to analyze the means of mass manipulation in these works.
The main part of my work is the analysis of mythological conception of the socialistic realism drama. I do so by comparing the socialistic society and culture with those of Ancient world and Christian society. For this analysis I use the work of Carl Gustav Jung and Karl Kerényi Science of Mythology, as well as the modern interpretation of mythology today in the work Mythologies written by Roland Barthes.
In the chapter Socialistic Mythology I look for concrete analogies with Ancient and Christian mythology. For example, I specify the principal signs of mythologies, such as the psychological origins of myths, the myth of the original chaos, icons and rituals in mythologies, morals and the social stratification. By investigating these signs I assume to find analogies with socialistic perception and interpretation of the world.
Third chapter is dedicates to the analysis of ?ideolanguage? and ?ideologics?, terms defined by Mikhail Epstein. I analyze the specific vocabulary of communist era drama and the semantic structure.
In the last chapter I analyze the concrete dramatic works as a result of further investigation of myth as such. I apply terms of Roland Barthes, such as naturalization and inflexion. These terms are according to Barthes typical for myths and I consider them also relevant for my study of socialistic realism. This way I try to characterize the intention of socialistic garniture to ?engineer human souls?.

NCMPL 2011 Abstracts
Cintula, Petr ; Ju, S. ; Víta, Martin
This volume contains (extended) abstracts of all 6 invited and 25 contributed talks presented at the conference Non-Classical Modal and Predicate Logics which took place in Guangzhou, December 5-9, 2011. Modalities and predicates have since ancient time been central notions in logic. In the 20th century, various systems of non-classical logics have emerged, with applications in many disciplines like Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. This gave rise to the questions of non-classical treatment of quantification and modalities and their accommodation in these non-classical settings. In response, various modal and predicate variants of non-classical logics have been introduced and studied in the past decades. Although there are many good conferences on (mainly propositional) non-classical logics, this conference was solely dedicated to modal and predicate non-classical logics. Its aim was to bring together esearchers from various branches of non-classical logics, not only to present recent advances in their particular fields, but also to identify common problems and methods and foster the exchange of ideas between researchers from separate fields.

Joseph Soloveitchik's philosophy of religion
Lyčka, Milan ; Sobotka, Milan (advisor) ; Karásek, Jindřich (referee) ; Sláma, Petr (referee)
Joseph Soloveitchik (1903 - 1993), rabbi and philosopher, one of the most important representatives of modern Jewish Orthodoxy, has made an attempt to translate traditional Jewish religious concepts in the language of modern science and philosophy. As a philosopher, he was versed in the Neo-Kantian philosophy of the Marburg School, as a rabbi he was under the influence of the so-called Analytical School, founded in Eastern Europe by members of his family. From the philosophical heritage of Neo-Kantianism he adopted the emphasis on the pureness of thought, understood as mathematical and scientific, and from the direct Kant's inheritance he endorsed particularly his a priori concept of pure forms of sensible intuition and cognitive categories. The Analytic School affected him through their emphasis on a non-historical analysis of religious concepts, leading to their deeper knowledge, and in the same time establishing a new relation to the Transcendent. In this way, Soloveitchik has rehabilitated religion as a noesis and aimed at its philosophical reflection. The central notion of his religious philosophy is halakhah, traditionally conceived as a set of norms and commandments ruling the life of a practising Jew. In Soloveitchik's view the halakhah has become a philosophical concept, a hermeneutic key to the...

Expression and meaning. Towards the problem of language in E. Husserl's philosophy 1900-1914
Urban, Petr ; Petříček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Polívka, Jiří (referee) ; Novotný, Karel (referee)
The present thesis deals with Husserl's philosophy of language in the period of 1900 - 1914. It aims to present a complex interpretation of its main features, transformations and inner tensions. We use the method of immanent interpretation, i.e. we do not put Husserl's thought into a broad historical context, but interpret it exclusively against background of his own philosophy as a whole. The text is divided in two main parts. The first one is devoted to the Logical Investigations (1900-01) and presents its basic analysis of the meaningful use of lingual expressions. In particular, we focus on the concept of lingual expression as a meaningmediated intentional relationship to an object and we explain it against the background of Husserl's project of the phenomenological elucidation of fundamentals of an a priori and objective theory of science, namely the pure logic. The second part deals with lectures and research manuscripts dating from 1901 to 1914. First, we explain the important breakthrough of the noematic concept of meaning in reference to the Lectures on the Doctrine of Meaning 1908 and related research manuscripts. In the next step, we explore the Manuscripts for the Revision of the Sixth Logical Investigation 1913-14. In these texts Husserl reaches his most mature approach to the phenomenon of...
