The Higher Man in F. Nietzsche's Philosophy
Jánošová, Simona ; Marek, Jakub (advisor) ; Chavalka, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to define the character of higher man, the conditions and the process of his development and also his relationship with the lower man and his significance in the whole of Nietzsche's philosophy. I present an interpretation which envisions the main character traits of the higher man in his strength, will, creativity, relation to suffering and need of overcoming resistance. The thesis presents the process of becoming a higher man (so called flourishing) as a process of self-creation in the sense of forming himself in harmony with his own substance and realization of his dormant potential. Manifestation of already flourished higher man consists of self-expression and a constant attempt to overcome oneself which allows the higher man to increase his will to power. The thesis interprets the importance of the higher man in Nietzsche's philosophy as a critical element of balance in society and the development of that society toward greatness. In the conclusion, the thesis sees Nietzsche's philosophy as primarily pro-human and striving for realization of its authenticity, where the higher man is the only authentic human. Keywords: higher man, greatness, lower man, flourishing, self-creation, morality

Truth vs ordo amoris in the history of mankind and individual moral development
Tóth, Štefan ; Pavlík, Ján (advisor)
The goal of this study is to supply arguments for the existence of objective moral order. In my research, I consider ordo amoris theory, developed by Scheler, in which emotionally valued stances have an important role in discovering objective moral order. Philosophical elaboration of the ordo amoris theory follows historical excursion in which I build on ideological roots of the ordo amoris. Furthermore, I analyse basic terms of the theory with an emphasis on the term individual moral development. A Significant characteristic in the individual moral development is being freed from outer factors, which rule over man and lead to the creation of free individuality. In the second chapter, I elaborate on and specify an observation of emotions by using the examples of love, repentance, shame and sympathy. These emotions play an important role in individual moral development. In the third part of my work I demonstrate that the historical development of a society is subject to patterns that are similar to the development of the individual. A breach of the objective moral order ends up in decline.

On the other hand, morality is a subject of a discipline called ethics. This subject represents a system which provides and protects distinctive values which have different normative quality. This system is formed by high amount of appropriate rules of behavior and its way to realize this behavior. In the past, the connection between these two systems was very important, it was a noticeable fact that these two systems cooperate and communicate. Even though nowadays these systems are more and more divided, they still interact. In the law of Czech Republic the connection between morality and law can be observed especially in the good manners. Good manners are intentions which are projected throughout the whole law system. The main goal of good manners and morality is to fill the gaps in the law. Another important goal is also to straighten the perception of justice in the...
