Karl Heinrich Heydenreich and His Prospect of "Kantian" Aesthetics before Critique of Judgement
 Policar, Antonín ; Hlobil, Tomáš (advisor) ; Karásek, Jindřich (referee) ; Zátka, Vlastimil (referee)
Karl Heinrich Heydenreich a his Prospect of "Kantian" Aesthetics before the Critique of Judgment Dissertation Mgr. Antonín Policar Abstract The aim of my thesis is to provide an insight into the aesthetic thought of the German Enlightenment philosopher and professor at the Leipzig University Karl Heinrich Heydenreich (1764-1801). I will analyze his various attempts during the 1780s to adapt the German tradition of philosophical aesthetics to the newly emerging transcendental paradigm introduced to philosophy by Immanuel Kant. The main focus will be on the question if Heydenreich's aesthetic writings prior to 1790 can be justifiably considered (as it has been repeatedly, but without convincing arguments pointed out by historians of aesthetics) a predecessor, or even a parallel to Kant's Critique of Judgement.

Metaphor as a Tool for Communication and Creative Thought
 Policar, Antonín ; Kulka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Stejskal, Jakub (referee)
This work is concerned with the role of metaphor in language, discourse and thought. The first section presents a brief historical survey of the origins and development of theorizing about the metaphor as a legitimate cognitive tool and not just a rhetorically or poetically effective but otherwise uninformative sort of expression. The aim of the second section is to outline several different accounts of metaphor given by contemporary researchers in the fields of the philosophy of language, congnitive psychology and linguistics as well as to hint at some possible ways they could be interconnected. Especially those theories are concerned which in some way diverge from the traditional view on metaphor as a fringe phenomenon of language and discourse and which on the contrary stress its central role in the meaning- making activity of the human mind. Although the work does not focus primarly on the metaphor in art, its relevance for aesthetics lies nevertheless in its highlighting certain aesthetic or poetic aspects of human reasoning and everyday communication.
