Russell's analysis of Peano Arithmetic
Jankovská, Lenka ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Arazim, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is Russell's analysis of Peano arithmetic. This analysis was presented by Russell and A. N. Whitehead in the book Prin- cipia Mathematica and then in Russell's book Introduction to Mathema- tical Philosophy which provided this approach in a more accessible form. The thesis focuses on Russell's critique of original Peano axioms and his effort to use only logical definitions instead of axioms. Another goal of the thesis is Russell's theory of classes and substitution of classes by propositional functions. Furthermore, the type theory for propositional functions is introduced and explained. All is converted into present-day logical notation. Moreover, the non-standard models of Russell's Peano arithmetic are studied. Finally, there are two particular arithmetic exam- ples illustrating the purposes of the thesis. Key words Bertrand Russell, Peano Arithmetic, classes, propositional funkction

Smoljaková, Natálie ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Balon, Jan (referee)

The analysis is made on the most popular films (i.e. with the biggest attendance) in last twenty years using the theory of Erving Goffman, especially his concept of frame analysis.

British Logic in the 19th Century
Joachim, Jiří ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šebela, Karel (referee)
According to American philosopher W. W. Bartley, the transition from tradi- tional Aristotelian to Boolean logic is a revolutionary milestone in the history of logic. The work of George Boole which was followed by a developement of a mathematicaly oriented logic brings a shift of paradigm. In my thesis I follow the period in which the shift is said to have happened. I explicate the elements of syllogistic and its main conceptions as expounded in a textbook The Rudiments of Logic written by Henry Aldrich. Furthermore I demon- strate logical systems of three authors: Archbishop Richard Whately, George Boole and Lewis Carroll. I accent the connection of those systems and the practical aspect of logic. With this in mind I consider Bartley's statement and estimate the role of the rules in the systems and its possible use in three domains circumscribed in Aldriches book: simple apprehension, judgement and discourse. 1

Area of ethics in Egon Bondy's philosophy
Macháčková, Petra ; Zika, Richard (advisor) ; Holeček, Tomáš (referee)
Area of ethics in Egon Bondy's philosophy is a kind of treatise and interpretation mainly of Bondy's nonsubstance ontology apart from philosophical antropology and the ethics. In this thesis comes out that nonsubstance ontology as a presentation of reality without any transcendent principle determining the view and continuity of reality is very important for each human. Human has an opened perspective of independent behaviour and can find the real sense of own human being. According to Bondy's meaning the human makes a part of ontological reality which has spontaneously developed to the reality with present rationality. Nevertheless the human is not a wholy rational being yet but neither only a biological being. Human is in advanced stage leading to the future type of human called posthuman. Posthuman needs to live in such reality where he can self-realized and which can reflect his specifics to the others spaces. All these conditions are possible and enabled in one area, the ethics. The kind and range of the ethics area is the key aspect of this thesis.
