The Friendship of Teresa of Jesus with Jerome Gratian Against the Background of the Reform of the Carmelite Order
Poříz, Jan ; Červenková, Denisa (referee)
The rigorous work "The Friendship of Teresa of Jesus with Jerome Gratian Against the Background of the Reform of the Carmelite Order" first briefly outlines various perspectives on the importance of friendship and interpersonal relationships in the spiritual tradition (Chapter 1). It then presents Teresa's most important friendships and illustrates the type of internal development she went through in this area of life (Chapter 2). Her deepest relationship was her friendship with Father Jerome Gratian, the first Provincial of the Discalced Carmelites. It lasted the last eight years of her life (1575 - 1582). It had a naturally human dimension, but also a spiritual and practical one. Teresa and Gratian supported each other with spiritual advice, considered the reform of the Carmelite order together, and implemented that reform. The individual levels of friendship and their development are analysed year by year (Chapter 3). Teresa tried to pass on her experience of friendship with God and with people, in the form of a doctrine mainly to her "spiritual daughters," the Discalced Carmelites nuns (Chapter 4). As well as contributing to a deeper understanding of the natural and human dimension of the personality of Teresa of Jesus and how it is incorporated in her relationship with God, the work also presents...

Crime and Punishment in the Eyes of Cesare Beccaria: An Analysis of an Enlightenment Penal Law Reform
Bojar, Tomáš ; Sokol, Jan (advisor) ; Wintr, Jan (referee) ; Tinková, Daniela (referee)
Crime and Punishment in the Eyes of Cesare Beccaria An Analysis of an Enlightenment Penal Law Reform The Ph.D. dissertation is centred around a relatively concise, but extremely influential book: Cesare Beccaria's treatise On Crimes and Punishments (Dei delitti e delle pene). This work, first published in 1764, sums up in a clear, yet intellectually penetrating way all the main Enlightenment principles of a complex penal law reform. In its time, the book was not only of great philosophical importance and it not only changed the way western societies perceived crime and punishment, but it also served as a concrete guideline for various penal law reformers. It is therefore by no means an overstatement to say that it caused a true paradigm shift in both legal and moral philosophy. The main aim of the thesis is to give a legal-philosophical account of Beccaria's thoughts on crime and punishment, to examine their historical as well as moral background and show the actual impact they had on the legislation of many different, mainly European states. The first chapters of the dissertation are focused on Beccaria's life, his intellectual background and his formative influences (particularly the French, English and Scottish Enlightenment, the social contract theory, utilitarianism, Montesquieu's thoughts on penal...

Reforming Legal education in the Czech Republic
Blažek, Zdeněk ; Urban, Michal (advisor) ; Friedel, Tomáš (referee)
Reforming legal education in the Czech Republic Abstract Under the influence of globalisation, European integration and digitalisation, knowledge and skills required for performance of legal professions change dramatically. In order to remain relevant Czech law schools have to adapt to this new environment. Presented thesis is comparing legal studies at the Charles University Faculty of Law (CUFL) and University of Utrecht. The aim is to identify state-of-the-art features of the Dutch educational model which could be implemented at CUFL. Comparison concerns main components of educational process (admission, teaching, examination) but also structure of the programs and curriculum. Findings are presented in wider societal context. Although there are notable differences at the level of educational system (admission, university governance) or national educational policy (funding), a number of findings could be applied in the Czech Republic. Compared to the Dutch study program, CUFL is lacking deeper connection between individual educational elements. Specific educational goals have to be set. These goals should be derived from three main components of legal education - knowledge, skills, and values. General educational goals then have to be represented in goals set for particular courses. In order to improve...
