The contribution theology Cardinal Schwarzenberg Vatican Council?
GRONES, Martin
Initial idea of this work: " The contribution theology Cardinal Schwarzenberg Vatican Council? , The de facto theological story that " started " at the September provincial council in Prague ( 1860) , and over the First Vatican Council ( 1869-1870 ) , the place - the fundamental ideas of Cardinal Schwarzenberg - up to II . Vatican Council (1962-1965). We must ask ourselves what was the theology of Cardinal Schwarzenberg exceptional and why has the range and in the decades after the First Vatican Council. These questions and many others began to form this work. Response them in three circuits . The first issue is the milieu of contemporary Czech society, which entails " Czech question" because it has the attributes of the ideas of Jan Hus, who was one of the requirements to be " God's word could freely proclaim," which Cardinal Schwarzenberg sees as one of the keys to their pastoral care to address the overall " religiously sentient inhabitants " to what is now called ecumenism, and the Cardinal called her a contemporary "family faith." So the family home environment to be introduced to the "family environment" of the Church, which "does not divide, but integrates" . The second area is the communion of the Catholic congregation, which already carries specific nature of faith , which gives information on the human , not as individuals , but persons as believers lives and moves "in communion" communion sanctorum "that accompanies the believer personally and for boundaries of the church (the Church). Therefore, even in sacred spaces Divine Liturgy promotes "Discourse in the middle of the Mass," because it helps ensure that a person liturgically activated in "upgrade of Church's thinking" (that later " aggiornamento ") in the world. The third issue is the consistency believer in education as Cardinal Schwarzenberg has a graduate character: discipline, teaching and cultivating. In this characteristic "inculcation" of a person into a "divine milieu" of humanity is in the attributes of participation in "completing the world that God created Undone", as taught by A. Günther , and one has a personal interest in "his physiognomy ." All three themes should help understanding " personal infallibility of the Pope," which is not deistic static, is based on the individual, but carries the story of spiritual formation tradition of the whole Church, in whose center is the Christological fraternity, to which the " indoctrinated " hierarchy of jurisdiction, which cannot be separated from each other, but in accepting the structure of the human being shed on the integral concept of the Catholic Church as organic. Which took place in the contemporary modification to the II. Vatican Council.

In the beginning, there was a relationship - the Western culture´s Christian paradigm forming the image of man within the process of criminal justice
TÝMOVÁ, Kateřina
The present thesis paper deals - on theoretical level - with the importance and the gradual evolution of dialogicality of man within the context of criminal justice. In Western European cultural environment the image of man as dialogical being has been inspired by the Judeo-Christian tradition, approaching "the man in relationship" as an unlimited and transcendental form of being. In practical terms, a relationship has been perceived as the fundamental precondition in the process of restoration of a man and as an opportunity to re-approach the original absolute form of humanity, which is in harmony with God´s intention. The culturally accepted dialogical image of man has been reflected in shaping the specific form of systems and institutions created by man, including also the system of criminal law and justice, the main objective of which is enforcing justice. In the spirit of that cultural tradition, emphasis is currently laid on protection of and respect for dignity and individual rights and freedoms of man, and, thus, personal participation of the criminal conflict parties in the process of justice is required. Hence, in the persons of the offender and the victim, justice is rather becoming "the justice of dialogue and negotiation" within restorative justice, and it is so within the limits of law so as the participants´ individual needs and interests can be taken care of and obligations resulting from the conflict can be secured, to the maximum possible extent.

The Most Holy Trinity as the Foundation of the Identity of Created Persons
HANKE JAROŠOVÁ, Světla
According to Scripture God created human beings "in our image, after our likeness". The likeness used to be conceived in terms of the rational nature human beings possess. Modern thought has come to conceive of the likeness rather in terms of being person, who receives her identity in relationships from others and at the same time mediates the others´ identity to them. The author presents the historical development of the concept of person as well as selected contemporary approaches, which she evaluates in light of the personal life of the Triune God as it is witnessed in Scripture and incessantly communicated in the liturgy of the church. She also presents ways of conceiving of created personhood she has attained in this light. Created persons are created in order to receive divine self-communication and to be able to participate in it, which they can in dependence on the one, who is the true revelator of God, as participation in his revelatory activity. By accepting their dependence, they become capable of acting freely through themselves and fulfill the task entrusted to them by creation.

Ethical preconditions of parental decisions in settling affairs concerning minors
TŮMOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis opens with the distinction of the concepts of a human being and a person. It then discusses two important philosophical approaches towards these concepts: exclusive and inclusive. It further deals with the relationship of a person to his or her closest surroundings and the acquisition of self-ownership, thanks to which a person can meaningfully pronounce "I". The thesis thus attempts to unfold the way of thinking that leads towards ethical decision making. In the second part of the thesis, contemporary ethical theories as utilitarianism, individualism and hedonism are discussed. A practical study of custodial files at the Authority of Social and Legal Protection of Minors (OSPOD) in a district town in South Bohemia follows, which examines - from the available judgments of the district court - how parents are able to cope with such a binding turning point in their life as divorce or separation from a partner. The thesis attempts to evaluate clearly the different behaviour of adults during processes of settling their relationships towards their minor children, as they are described in the court case studies. Synoptical graphs are used to indicate which types of behaviour occur and to what extent during actions in court. At the end of the thesis, the research and its surprising and hopefully optimistic outcome for future activities of OSPOD is summarized.

Philosophy of life quality and health in the work of Jan Sokol
SELLNEROVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis deals with philosophy of life quality and health in the work of Jan Sokol. Theoretical part is focused on defining the term life quality and health, summarizes the development in time and describes different views of special institutions, scientific branches, especially philosophy. Other chapters of this work describe life and work of Jan Sokol. In the end of the theoretical part I tried to compare works of current Czech authors who write about the quality of life and health. I compared their work with Jan Sokol. The goal of this work is to look at the philosophical aspects of power and money, focusing on the quality life and health. This was studied in the quantitative way. I used an anonymous questionnaire for gathering information. The research was realized in March and April 2009 in the region of South Bohemia. 250 questionnaires were distributed, 125 for women and 125 for men. 222 questionnaires were handed back. 3 of them were not complete so they were rejected. The final number of questionnaires was 219. Three working hypotheses were set. Hypothesis number 1 was proved: Excess of financial resources enables us to live a happy life. Hypothesis number 2 was also proved: Excess of financial resources enables us to have above standard health care. Hypothesis number 3 was not proved: Excess of financial resources does not guarantee happy life. The goal of this work was accomplished by the execution of the research. The result shows that most interviewed people, regardless of education, consider their income average in Czech standards. The same amount of informants is satisfied with their income. The same number is not satisfied. The majority of questioned people would feel happier if their income was twice as high. This fact, unfortunately, is the reflection of current consumer society which measures everything by money. The fact is proved by the thoughts and statements of Sokol, which I described in the theoretical part. This bachelor thesis could help parents, educators and pedagogues, who deal with educating and upbringing of children, to point at life values which are not related with sufficiency of financial resources. Implied results could form basis of thinking for each member of present society.
