The number π and continued fractions
Švejdová, Aneta ; Halas, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Slavík, Antonín (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with one of the well-known mathematical constants, the number π. The form is understandable to higher-year students of secondary schools interested in mathematics. At first, it presents the best known ways people in history tried to approximate the number π. It includes the methods of Egyptians, the people of ancient Mesopotamia and the method of Archimedes. It also presents expressing π in the form of infinite product according to F. Viète and J. Wallis. The second part of the thesis focuses on expressing the number π by continued fractions, which are at first generally defined. We introduce essential relations among them. Then the thesis presents expressing the number π in the form of continued fractions according to J. H. Lambert, L. Euler and W. Brouncker. Finally, proofs of the irrationality of π using continued fractions are presented together with a simple proof of its transcendence. The aim of the thesis is to extend information about π stated in popular books, to explain and clarify basic ideas leading to these claims.

The concept of existence by Karl Jaspers
Šulcová, Irena ; Zika, Richard (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
EN: Jaspers came to philosophy from medicine and psychology. Unique personal situation, authentic life experience, unrepeatable faithful self-respect turned psychopathologist Jaspers from psychiatric physiology of soul to the thesis of ciphers of transcendence, borderline, edge and horizon. He constituted his own pattern of the thinker not only as an explaining teacher, but also as co-creator of original ethics, based on deep comprehension of the other, importance of encompassing communication between man and man. First section of my work deals with the concept of Border. Our attitudes and picture of the universe and its evaluation are limited by borders. The holistic complex being remains behind the horizon The second part is dedicated to border-line situation as an phenomenon of possibility, as seen from the point of view of Jaspers own existence, as presented in his Philosophy, including commentary based on new translations by Vaclav Nemec Closing part deals with existential communication and holistic transition from possible to new horizons of transcendence. My interpretation of chosen excerpts comes mostly from "Psychologie der Weltanschauungen." Quotations appear in my own translation.

Philosophical faith in Karl Jaspers
Dostál, Václav ; Němec, Václav (advisor) ; Matějčková, Tereza (referee)
Karl Jaspers is a thinker who tries in his philosophy to formulate a non-religious concept of faith. The thesis wants to clarify this "philosophical faith", which constitutes for Jaspers an answer to the question, "by what and toward what shall we live". Jaspers characterizes his philosophical faith as a "faith of a thinking man", which lay in grounds of philosophizing itself. On the one hand, philosophical faith (and philosophy itself) is different from the knowledge and science, because it cannot be reduced to a mere content; on the other hand, it is different from the religious faith and religion itself, mainly because it cannot accept the traditional Christian revelation. Finally, philo- sophical faith can be characterized as a communicative manner of life, which wants to reach the maximum possible level of understanding by all people. Keywords Karl Jaspers, philosophical faith, transcendence, existence, religion, revelation, communication

Theological reflection: Relationship between Christian religion and phenomenons of alternative spirituality
Mužíková, Radka ; Bouma, David (advisor) ; Červenková, Denisa (referee)
The main purpose of the work is to theologically reflect a relationship between christianity and the selected phenomenons of alternative spirituality. Partial goal of this dissertation paper is a theological reflection of this relationship. Human being and its theological- anthropological base is a fundamental connection to this relationship. A uniting component is human dignity which structures an essential princip arising from revelation. The thesis reflects roots of human dignity and its relationship with Trinitarian God and christianity - and life without this bindings. For this purpose an interdisciplinary overlap to communication psychology is used - due to fact, that this model can be applied to revelation. Thanks to this communication model a proces of creating self-approach of person can be outlined and it opens a way to understand empirical perspective of alternativly spiritual followers. Using the model is good to understand the structure and its formation between christianity and alternative spirituality as well. This perspective can be helpful to gain a better view of inner structure of relationship of these phenomenons and its opportunities.
