Schopenhauer and Nietzsche about human
Suchý, Radek ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Chavalka, Jakub (referee)
Dissertation: Schopenhauer and Nietzsche about human Autor: Radek Suchý Annotation In my dissertation I endeavour to show the way how the 19th century german philosophers Schopenhauer and Nietzsche reflected various interesting issues that are significantly adherent to the human life. In so doing I try to place their respective views in such a mutual perspective so that both their characteristic uniqueness and peculiarity and their eventual affinity and contiguity would arise as clearly as possible. In the conclusion then I endeavour to show on the example of Schopenhauer what it can mean and imply if the man philosophizes about the man.

Consciousness and unconsciousness. Theoretical analysis
Skála, Pavel ; Kebza, Vladimír (advisor) ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee)
This theoretical study is looking into consciousness, unconsciousness and concepts that are associated with it. It also goes back to the historical approach to these two terms, yet it points out the terminological obstacles that are inseparably connected with them. Both constructs are being discussed from an integrated perspective therefore neither mapping of the neurobiology of consciousness nor the summary of the major approaches to the philosophical mind-body problem, is left out of consideration. The unconsciousness research methods are divided according to the predominant focus into experimental and clinical. The study also covers an analysis as well as a review of significant theoretical approaches to consciousness and unconsciousness. These theoretical concepts were classified based on distinction of relevant scientific disciplines that are used to describe the problems in question. Neurobiological, psychological and philosophical theories were later categorized according to this method. The final conclusion brings a complex overview of these topics previously dealt with in the study. It attempts to integrate the findings into a comprehensive framework and to deal with some general issues that indicate possibilities and limits of the theoretical and practical research into both phenomena....

Dialogic Personalism
CHALUPSKÁ, Martina
This work deals with positivism, which began to embed its own roots in the 18th century in philosophy of language and has started to create dramatically right after the First Word War, this positivism is known as Dialogical Personalism. This bachelor work describes Dialogical Personalism itself, its integration into philosophy and consecutive development primarily when it comes to the world´s author such as Franz Rosenzweig, Ferdinand Ebner, Martin Buber a Emmanuel Lévinas and also the Czech author scene which is represented by Karel Vrána, Jolana Poláková or Milan Machovec. In this work I am looking more deeply into the lives of these authors and I am also analysing their magnum opus in the field of philosophical dialogue. Further I am describing here the biblical proportion of this philosophical trend. This is because, Bible is the main source from which philosophers of dialogue stem from.

User interface in view of cognitive science
Šilar, Pavel ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bruckner, Tomáš (referee)
User interfaces of operating systems were often developed according to technological and marketing restrictions. Recently, more emphasis is aimed on the user who uses the operating system. User interfaces, which correspond to user's behavior and expectations, are designed. Cognitive science commits itself in the research of a human mind phenomenon. Its base was used to settle aspects of a human thinking which are related to a user interface and its functionality. It is mainly area of UI design, text elements and functions. Overall model of the user interface was established following recognized conclusions. This model was used to verify, if existing operating systems correspond to findings about the human mind. Correspondence among operating systems and cognitive science was recognized during the comparison of existing operating systems and the created model. Also some insufficiencies were identified, mainly in the area of stereometric design, using of gestalt principles, support of a user's training and involving learning methods of the artificial intelligence. Design of the user interface can be improved in these four areas to ensure better coherency with the human mind.
