Vědění a neznalost v Platónově dialogu Theaitétos
Chvatík, Ivan
The paper examines what is the message of Plato's dialogue Theaitetus. It interprets the Socrates' midwifery as an allegory of Platonic dialectic; explains the hermeneutic character of the dialogue; depicts the structure of the genesis of knowledge; argues that the refutation of Protagoras' thesis "homo – mensura" turns out to be its endorsement; and shows that knowledge proper is possible only in mathematics.

Static and Dynamic Model of Education in Clasical Times
Boháček, Kryštof
The article confronts two competitive educational models of ancient Greece: the sophistic and platonic one. Both educational and tuitional model has been continuously modified in many different ways through the european history, it is also possible to see them in present approach. Plato´s dynamic model, focused particularly on tuition and future potential, proves even today its generally valid acceptance, while sophist´s static model is forced to adaptate increasingly with difficulties to changeable reality in the era of globalization.

Philosophy between University and Universality
Boháček, Kryštof
The article deals with the question of the future of Europe in the era of globalization. The starting points are university as the last common respected classical european institution, and the topical problem of increasing differentiation of faculties and specialisation, which leads to loss of the unique humanist ethos of european knowledge. Without any unifying philosophical idea university will be transformed either to some training center or a research institute.
