The aim of my thesis is to find out, discover, explain and prove, whether and to what measure is it justified to use animals in favor of a human. I would like to try to describe most important aspects of this topic in my thesis. I'd try to answer to this aimed goal through collected information from worldwide and local authors. My thesis will be structured in three main parts.

Peltanová, Anna ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Keřkovský, Pavel (referee)
My thesis focuses on the interpretation of the Ten Commandments. Mainly with the shift, which occurred between the interpretation of Martin Luther and one by Jan Milíč Lochman. The compared works are Luther's Treatise on Good Works and Lochman's Signposts to Freedom. To make the picture complete, I added quotations from other interpretations of the Ten Commandments. Each chapter deals with one commandment. At the beginning of a chapter there is a survey of Luther's ideas, followed by Lochman's ideas and a summary of the differences between the two interpretations. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the shift that occurred in protestant interpretations of the Ten Commandments in the past half millennium is large, or how big it is.

The first part summarizes the influences, which shaped his theological thinking and it presents his concept of political theology. The next part asks a question about the relationship between the ideas of redemption and emancipation in Metz's theology. This is based on the interpretation of a chapter from his book, Glaube in Geschichte und Gesellschaft, which concerns the topic. But before the interpretation of Metz's text, the problems of relationship between the two terms and of their origin are described. The extent of the field of meaning of the term "emancipation" is illustrated by the examples of the thinking of Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx and Jürgen Habermas. A large part is dedicated to the figures of the Frankfurt school, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, and their specific approach to the idea of emancipation and the Enlightenment tradition. The final thesis rejects the opinion, that the ideas of emancipation and redemption in Metz's theology coincide too much and it puts stress on the importance of the term "history of suffering" for solving this problem of Metz's theology. Keywords political theology, J. B. Metz, emancipation,...
