Reply to sister Filotea of the Cross: conflict of the reason and the faith
Marková, Eliška ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee) ; Vydrová, Hedvika (advisor)
There are many mysterious facts and circumstances surrounding the life and work of the nun Juana Inés de la Cruz. This thesis tries to provide answers for many of these particulars. Specifically those facts associated with the emergence of Replay to Sister Filotea of the Cross. It is, however, not possible to find a definite answer or interpretation. Juana lived in difficult times for a woman with high skills. She was not allowed to decide freely in many situations due to her being female. Her life and her creations were much closer to real social life than to closed religious inner life. Nevertheless, Juana was inspired by religious themes and was influenced by medieval mysticism. This is reflected mainly in the artistic side of her artwork. Although at the end of her life she had what might be called a spiritual conversion, it had no any effect on her literary work. Even though it had not been her primary interest, Juana became active in theological disputation. Upon request of another person she submitted Vieyra's sermon to her criticism. The letter Carta athenagorica was a crucial milestone in Juana's life, just like her decision to become a nun. Due to the letters' publication, we can now read what this writer felt, who is nowadays considered as such an important part of the nascent Latin American...

Moral arguments in consideration of courts when applying law
Šimek, Jiří ; Wintr, Jan (advisor) ; Maršálek, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with relationship of law and morals from the perspective of a judge applying the law. It starts by defining morals as a normative system which determines what is good and what is bad. Bad morals are punished by social sanction. The relationship of content of morals and law can be described as an intersection. There are three possible relationships of the area of law and morals regarding their respective application: (i) area which should be regulated only by moral rules; (ii) area which should be regulated only by law; and (iii) common area for both normative systems. Morals can penetrate reasoning of a judge applying the law at least in three ways: Firstly, Legislator can order the judge to drag a moral norm into his consideration. Such an order is called boni mores (dobré mravy) in Czech legal system (used in Section 3 or Section 39 of Czech Civil Code). Secondly, the school of phenomenology hermeneutics claims that any interpretation, thus interpretation of law as well, is conditioned by existence of so called pre-structures. We cannot get rid of these structures, they create necessary interpretative frame of interpreting individual. Moral feelings or moral attitudes are parts of these pre-structures. Morals can project to the decision-making of judge knowingly or unknowingly through...

Culture and spectator violence
Kasal, Josef ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Kučírek, Jiří (referee) ; Kraus J., (referee)
Spectator violence comprises the complex system of behavior patterns and patterns of conduct. The participation in a football game originates from the longterm developed human attitude towards formation of one's living space and ideas of life. Generally, sports and sports events are the specific form of culture. In order to understand the motivation of the people involved in sports events, to understand one's relationship toward sports games, it is necessary to discern between the cultural and the social in the interpretation of spectators' main behavioral tendencies. Since the first time when the term culture was used, its definition has been developing quite problematically, during the past decades especially. This study is based on Geertz's hypothesis that the human conduct can only be interpreted. Also, its focus lays on understanding the symbolism of rowdies and hooligans' conduct, as far as the specific environment of the marginal culture is concerned. Professional literature defines the spectator violence as the violence which is planned, of repeated or manifested character, and is exercised by a relatively enclosed group of people whose unifying attribute is the sense of togetherness in relation to a certain sports club or a national team. Apart from the violence itself, the term comprises...

Doležal, Tomáš ; Březinová, Monika (advisor) ; Rak, Jiří (referee)
The main topic of this thesis is the person of the last German Emperor Wilhelm II, who was considered very controversial even during his lifetime and opinions on him varied greatly. A particular point of interest of many experts was and is especially the question of Wilhelm's II share of the blame for starting the First World War. This thesis is a historiographical analysis pursuing interpretations of Kaiser Wilhelm II in relation to the events before 1914 in selected titles by leading authors concerned with this issue. The aim of this thesis is evaluating the development of the discussion on Kaiser Wilhelm II after 1945, when a vigorous debate on the topic of Wilhelm II and his guilt on World War I gradually sparked in expert circles. The output of the thesis is a summary of main interpretation streams of the selected authors as well as the monitoring of changes in the opinions on the last German Emperor after 1945 and determining the distinctiveness of this changes. While the question of the guilt on World War I was very damped shortly after 1945, it was reopened over time and an ever more active discussion took place, though being slightly damped again in recent times.

The Eternal Boyhood of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic
Kolařík, Karel ; Vojtěch, Daniel (advisor) ; Lishaugen, Roar (referee) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The thesis attempts to describe the life and work of Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic through an analysis of his lifestyle, i.e. the way in which he organized, embellished and individualized his life. Karásek sought to shape his existence as an artwork, in accordance with the inspirational concepts of the contemporary and antecedent thinkers and artists (e.g. Oscar Wilde, Walter Pater and Maurice Maeterlinck). He accented its integrity and orientation towards beauty. In accord with his aesthetic vision (and his literary work) Karásek conditioned beauty with sadness and pain and attempted to emphasize melancholic beauty, unity in disunion. For that purpose he would accentuate particularly the disintegrative, critical elements, evoking the impression of unsuccessful, self-destructive endeavor to reach life's high ideal. This corresponded with his tragic concept of the artist immolating himself for his Art. I approach Karásek's lifestyle through the use of the terms youth and (eternal) boyhood, which Karásek himself employed as symbols of mournfully beautiful existence in his literary work. I define a youth - in accordance with the romantic and symbolist interpretation - as a person at odds with reality (contemporary truths, customs and rules), a solitary, unique being, trying to construct a new world - only...

Nietzsche and His Explication by Postmodern Philosophers
Chaloupková, Marie ; Pelcová, Naděžda (referee) ; Blažková, Miloslava (advisor)
In the first chapter three differing interpretations of Nietzschean philosophy are discussed, which show the importance of the role of the reader and the reader's life view and life experience in their interpretation. On the basis of these interpretations, the variety of Nietzschean motives is considered. Each of the motives are conceived individually and used in post-modern approaches. I have considered such themes as the critical view on the knowability of Truth, the critique of the metaphysical and dialectical, the critique of morality and of Christianity, the question of the death of God, also the concept of revaluation of values, Will to Power and the concept of Superman. In the second chapter, I characterised post-modern philosophy. I considered the way different post-modern philosophers have interpreted the questions that Nietzsche posed. I approached some of the ideas of Lyotard, Derrida, Vattimo, Deleuze and Guattari and Foucault. I succeeded in pointing out the fundamental areas of interest of these post-modern philosophers in which we can find common ground with Nietzsche. I spoke about the critical view of the language, shifting away from the school of modernist thought, Lyotard's meta-stories, Will to Power and not least about the plurality of perception and their concurrence.
