Philosophical interpretation of biblical concept of creation in Genesis 1,1-2,3
Hanyš, Milan ; Sokol, Jan (advisor) ; Kružík, Josef (referee)
The thesis deals with the concept of creation in Genesis 1:1-2:4a, which is seen as a fundamental text of the European culture. The first part concludes the exegesis of the key motives of the text in its historical in literary context. The attention is particularly given to the motives that are often exposed and interpretated in European intellectual history (creatio ex nihilo, imago dei, creation by word, goodness of the world). In the second part the attention is confined to philosophical, social and political implications and consequences of the biblical concept of creation. The text is seen as a fundamental point from which springs the European concepts of equality and human rights, positive liberty, inclusive type of monotheism and the autonomy of the world. Two contemporary philosophical conceptualizations of the creation concept (of Jan Sokol and Hans Jonas) are introduced and discussed at the end of the thesis.

Special attention is paid to one of Hartshorne's specifics - his defense and interpretation of the ontological argument for the existence of God. I then deal with Hartshorne's attempts to engage some classical theistic concepts, namely that of Thomas Aquinas, and of the luminaries of Protestant theology, Paul Tillich and Karl Barth, into a kind of dialogue. Then I introduce briefly "process theology" and some significant examples of applying Hartshorne's ideas in theology, Christology, and moral theory. I survey some polemical reactions to process thought and to Hartshorne by German Protestant theologians and I consider the possibility of a certain kinship between Hartshorne's view of the God-world relation and the theology of nonviolence. In the conclusion I survey the outcomes of...
