The living body as the source of freedom (a philosophical study on the origins of the freedom of will as a fact and as a concept)
Brinzanik, Dušan ; Čapek, Jakub (referee) ; Petříček, Miroslav (advisor)
This thesis aims to focus on two different ways of how people think about freedom; the author is convinced they have from the very beginning involved the reasons why they are unable to cope with the possibility of the freedom of will in the world, and to plausibly explain what free will is. One way of thinking is based in such a view of the world that cannot guarantee the possibility of freedom in the world as it is unable to grasp anything like free will with the means it has; the other approach collapses due to the obscure and internally incongruous concept of Self. This leads to expectation of free will, which is unreachable by principle although initially freedom was associated with man and the only aim is to explain how freedom is restricted and how it can be cultivated. What both these approaches have in common is a misleading connection of free will and moral responsibility, which makes it even more difficult for them to form and adequate concept of freedom.

"The real masculinity" from woman's point of view
Čižinská, Anna ; Vinopal, Jiří (referee) ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma work aims at the woman's view of desirable masculinity and its social background and context. The work especially focuses on established stereotype s in disposal of man' s and woman' s roles in partner relationships and the manifestation of these stereotypes. The ground for the work is a qualitative research which means twelve depth interviews with women in age range from 20 to 63 years. A part of respondents are women who experienced a physical and mental violence in their intimate relationship and their ex-partners thus represent an extreme type of masculinity in its established conception. The research has shown that women expect and demand strong, active and in some way dominant man, because if they want to respect him and live with him in a partner relationship, the man should be in some way superior to them. These demands correspond to traditional configuration of aur society, but they hinder women and men from constructing really equal partner relationships. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Conception of Dailiness
Jandová, Tereza ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Sokol, Jan (referee)
The Concept of everyday life in the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas in dialogue with Martin Heidegger By analysing everyday life with Levinas I try to reveal that the « familiar » or the « ordinary » world does not have to be considered as impersonal, as a decline or as a deficiency, but on the contrary, that such a naif situation can gain an essential status for the concept of a man as such. Confrontation between Levinas and Heidegger shows us, that the gravity of Dasein remains inside of him and for that reason the everyday life seeks to relieve, whereas what Levinas tries to do is exactly to remove from the very beginning this gravity from the subject into his dependence and responsiblity for the Other. Suprisingly, the everyday life characterised by enjoyment remains more charged with Levinas than is the case with Heidegger. Thus we do not need to search for an escape from everyday life in the depth of Dasein to discover his fundaments, but on the contrary we have to stay in a dialogue with the Other, in an ethic relation with other person and all this within the everyday life.

Interreligious dialogue and bioethics
RODKOVÁ, Iveta
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of interreligious dialogue and bioethics. The thesis analyses ethical context of specific biomedical issues, namely euthanasia, abortion, assisted reproduction and embryonic stem cells research viewed through the eyes of three world monotheistic religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam). Sacred books, published documents and further available sources are used to explain the approach of those religions to the bioethical issues (answering the questions of why and how these religions approach the issues). The aim of the theoretical piece of work is to show observed differences and similarities. At the beginning of the thesis there is a general description of the religions in the context of medical ethics. It briefly characterizes religious beliefs and shows documents which these ethical beliefs are based on. The work shows differences but also common features of monotheistic religions. After the religions are discussed in general there is a chapter focused exclusively on interreligious dialogue. The thesis stresses out the importance of an open discussion between religions which leads to unity and reconciliation. Interreligious dialogue represents openness to unknown and willingness to a discussion. It is not possible not to mention a project called Global Ethic by a Swiss professor of theology Hans Küng, who is thoroughly interested in an interreligious dialogue mentioned above. Further chapters of the diploma thesis deal with specific bioethical questions and with the approach of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to these questions. Firstly, the thesis focuses on the issue of euthanasia followed by abortions, assisted reproduction and finally by embryonic stem cells research. The knowledge gained by studying the available sources shows that out of the listed bioethical issues world religions are mostly uniform in the opinion on euthanasia. All the monotheistic religions refer to untouchability and sanctity of human life from its beginning to natural death. It is only God who is a creator and possessor of all creation. That is why euthanasia and assisted suicide is seen negatively and at a distance as an act which does not belong to the hands of man. In 2005 the representatives of the three monotheistic religions in the Czech Republic signed a document in which they express their common negative attitude to the issue of euthanasia. Contrary to the opinion expressing agreement on the end of human life, which is seen by all the religions as the moment of natural death, there is a non-uniform opinion on its beginning. The differences in opinions of Christians, Jews and Muslims on the beginning of human life shape their attitude to abortions, assisted reproductions and also to embryonic stem cells research. In Christianity human life begins at the moment of conception and therefore from ethical point of view it has the most controversial attitude to such medical techniques. The life of the mother is valued in the same way as the life of the fetus. In Judaism an embryo has got lower status than an unborn child, therefore this religion has a slightly more benevolent attitude than Christianity. However, certain boundaries which are discussed below must be followed. In Islam the point crucial for the questions of abortion, assisted reproduction and embryonic cell stems research is when a soul is breathed into a fetus. It is only after this moment when embryo gains the status of a human person and therefore becomes untouchable. Islam and Judaism have a less strict attitude to the bioethical issues (except for euthanasia) than Christianity. The diploma thesis presents a review of opinions and values of certain monotheistic religions on bioethics issues with the concentration on interreligious dialogue. It brings an overview of similarities and differences in ethical opinions.

Alternative lifestyle option as being satisfied
BENDOVÁ, Kateřina
The topic of this diploma thesis is Alternative lifestyle as a form of content human existence. This thesis is focused on specification of subculture and I defined the subculture of homeless people, which as I assumed and also as my own research data showed, can demonstrate the content form of human existence. The theoretical part of this thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter constitutes a theoretical scope of this thesis where I put emphasis on social norms and theory of social deviation, which are crucial for homeless people who are demonstrating alternative lifestyle which is significantly different from the lifestyle of mainstream conformist society. Second chapter describes characteristics of homelessness. The third chapter includes procedure of help to homeless people in their life situation. There are also stated social services for homeless people. The last chapter is focused on the alternative lifestyle. I also deal with the topic of voluntary homelessness. The aim of this diploma thesis is description of aspects of lifestyle of the observed subculture of homeless people. The target group consists of 20 homeless people in age from 18 to 70 years. A method of qualitative approach was applied and a method of analysis of case studies was used for data collection. The main technique of data collection was an interview with directions which I used with 10 homeless people who were in asylum house and with 10 homeless people who were present directly at the public areas. In the context of this thesis five research questions were determined. The primary data was coded/indexed and then processed with the framework analysis according to Ritchie and Spencer. The outcomes of the research showed that the most frequent reason for the origin of homelessness is alcohol addiction. Most frequently it is related to single or divorced man and women. The daily regime of homeless people is from a greater half regular. Among the most frequent daily activities in the asylum house can be mentioned watching television, cleaning common areas of the asylum house, fixed activities and drinking coffee. The outdoor activities mostly constitute of collection of metal, cooking, shopping for food and searching the garbage bins. They usually spend winter nights in facilities of social services (doss house, asylum house), in a tent, in makeshift shanties, or in a squat. Most people spend their days with their friends or partners. People who live in public areas are more willing to make some extra money. There was three times higher experience with begging of the people who live in public areas than people who live in asylum houses. People in asylum houses usually pay for day board meals. People who live outside in public areas procure their food in supermarkets, day centres and doss houses and in garbage bins. For homeless people nicotine addiction is more frequent than alcohol addiction. They perform their personal hygiene in the facilities of social services (day centre, doss house, asylum house). They usually get their clothes from social or asylum clothes supplies. They do not live in relationships with partners however people who live in the public areas have more sexual contacts. More than half of respondents do not think about their future. People who live in asylum houses are more satisfied with their life situation, nevertheless more than half of respondents would like to change their life situation. On basis of the results of this research theoretical concepts were induced.
