Wilhelm Schmidt's theory of Urmonotheismus, Pettazzoni's criticism and Pettazzoni's theory of the origin of the supreme beings
Dostál, Dominik ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor) ; Philippová, Lenka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with two theories of the origin of religious figure of the Supreme Being, from which these theories derive the origin of all religions. The first part describes Wilhelm Schmidt's theory of Urmonotheismu, which is in this work affiliated to a wider context of Schmidt ethnological research, based on cultural, historical and ethnological method. The second part introduces the Pettazzoni's theory of the origin of the Supreme Being. Firstly, the thesis is becoming familiar with his unveiling scholarly pre-understanding in relation to religion and subsequently with Pettazzoni's conception of the divine attribute of omniscience. Last section presents Pettazzoni's concept of phenomenology of religion, which is subsequently criticized. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Kárová, Lydie ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Philippová, Lenka (referee)
Spiritualita při léčbě závislosti Spirituality in the Addiction Treatment Lydie Kárová In my work, Spirituality in the Addiction Treatment, I focus on spirituality as a component of personality, which is involved in its formation and development. The work falls into three parts, in the first one I place spirituality into the Czech environment and present its definition, in the second part I look for the role of spirituality in the conception and treatment of addiction and in the third one I present four specific spiritual methods applied in the treatment of addiction. In all parts I work with a spirituality model by Zdeněk Vojtíšek. Seven levels of this model together form a complex component, which is spirituality. The starting concept of the spirituality model is that the individual levels transmit each other, they do not function separately, they can be variously represented and their source can be anything. This confirms an example of addiction that operates on all these levels. I define addiction as a dependent relationship that does not distinguish between forms of addiction, but emphasizes their common features. Spirituality and addiction are complex components of an individual that relate to his/her whole person. In order to change the personality, a safe and stimulating environment is...

Bruce Lincoln and his Concept of Myth
Oberstein, Jan ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor) ; Philippová, Lenka (referee)
Thesis "Bruce Lincoln and his Concept of Myth" tries to perceive ongoing transformations of Lincoln's understanding of myth. It pursues the development of Lincoln's inquiry starting with Indo-European studies all the way to questioning the scholarly discourse itself. The main flow of this thesis centers around the issues of power and ideology. Lincoln deals both with ideological aspect of myth (myth is defined as an instrument for legitimizing power in the society) and with ideological aspect of scholarship on myth (scholarship that camouflages certain ideological or political intents is defined as theorizing myth). Finally, the thesis presents Lincoln's concept of new critical inquiry based on reflexivity.

The Modification of Secularization Thesis During the Last Third of the 20th Century- A Comparison of P. L. Berger and R. Stark
Hron, David ; Philippová, Lenka (referee) ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma work discusses the long-term effort of two major sociologists of our time. My thesis is a comparison taking place on the background of introducing the general trend in the sociology of religion. A trend, which comes from the long-term valid ideas, which claim that the present time is stigmatised by a new social phenomenon. The theory of modernity was the result of the development of social (and other) sciences, which has given it a normative and self-evident status of undeniable social fact, which is not to be questioned. The revision of the theses of modernity as well as secularity started as a consequence of these social changes, whose causes are summarized by a general and empty term "postmodernity". The argument, which has been going on in the sociologic discussion for a long time, has reached the necessity of modification of the old secularization theses.
