Hamlets Dialectics or The Danish Philosophy of Existence
Marek, Jakub ; Benyovszky, Ladislav (advisor) ; Zika, Richard (referee)
The thesis aims at reconstructing the basic structure of the existence complexus in the works of S. Kierkegaard. The interpretative perspective is a phenomenological one, the main focus being the elementary experience of flux and stand-still. The problem of existence in Kierkegaard is compared with the Cartesian conception of the generic, un-individual existentia of the res cogitans, so that the priority of Kierkegaard's emphasis on the sigle individual could be substantiated.

Instruments and human beings: Freedom and the limitation of Universal Darwinism
Houdek, Tomáš ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
The object of this essay is to point out the possibility and options of human freedom in relation to neo-darwinistic conception of human beings, especially in relation to the principle of universal Darwinism, which creates space for the concept of "dual human evolution" - evolution of genes and memes (corresponding with biological and cultural determinants). In this context, human is considered the "tool of replicators." The essay presents possible freedom of man as undeniable fact -evident or not, always present as possible way of acting. In connection with the work of Kant and Arendt, the author defines freedom as a concept, which coincides with the term "humanity". This provides an opportunity to present man as "twofold" being: "natural", determined by biological and cultural influences, and "human" in the context of freedom. This point of view allowes the definition of human nature. In this context, the phrase "human nature" is contradictio in adjecto. Human being is a being determined (by nature and culture) and free.

The Problem of Freedom and Creativity in Nietzsche
Kobylka, Vít ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
The Thesis aims to explore the problem of Freedom and Creativity in Nietzsche. It attempts to do so in respect to the two main concepts of his high and late writings. Concept of Superman and concept of the Eternal recurrence of the same. In this respect our text follows especially interpretations of Martin Heidegger. We begin our treatise with situating Nietzsche's concept of freedom among more traditional thought and we put emphasis on comparison of it to the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. In the next phase we reject (with Martin Heidegger and Ivan Dubský) simplifying understanding of the Eternal reccurence which understands it as dull determinism. We also analyse the topic of Creativity in Nietzsche and introduce it as fundamental anthropological theme. In the following chapters we identify certain moods that allow us to experience perspective of the Eternal reccurence and the one of Superman, which gives us chance to understand both concepts in their connection. But this connection remains enigmatic and in the last chapter we try, with help of Kierkegaard's concept of the moment, to understand both thoughts in their complementarity not only united in the concept of creativity, but also through Nietzsche's concept of the moment, understood as the original understanding of one of the aspects of...

The Phenomenon of Scouting from Philosphical Perspective
Horáčková, Nikol ; Marek, Jakub (advisor) ; Synek, Stanislav (referee)
The presented historical-philosophical diploma thesis depicts the scouting phenomenon, which demands a specific type of morality and produces specific individuality. We interpret a scout human through the following themes: the personˈs relation to nature and to God. We will demonstrate that contact with nature is closely related to the demand placed on versatile personality development in the sense of the Ancient Greek term kalokagathia. Using the writings of J. J. Rousseau, E. T. Seton and H. Thoreau, we will focus on an idealized form of the return to nature. We will further delve into scoutsˈ attitudes towards the first Scouting principle: Duty to God. Last, but not least, we will demonstrate that only mature consciences establish free and responsible action. This action is, however, conditioned by a dialogue with a higher force. A scout human is therefore defined by both; their specific attitude to nature and their acknowledgement of spiritual life. Only a life in harmony with those two constants leads scouts towards meaningful humanity.

Kinematic analysis of take-off in long jump
Marek, Jakub ; Krátký, Petr (advisor) ; Vindušková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Kinematic analysis of take - off in long jump. Purposes: Closely evaluation of angular, temporal and velocity characteristics of take-off leg during take-off in the long jump. Confrontation of characteristics by the separate jumpers and appoint technical determinants on basis of measurement. Methods: 2D kinematics analysis. Results: We evaluated take-off characteristics in long jump on basis of 2D kinematics analysis and found out relative stability of these characteristics during take-off in long jump. Key words: track and field, athletics, long jump, take-off, kinematics analysis
