Philosophy and Depression
Vodička, Marek ; De Santis, Daniele (advisor) ; Švec, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to present the effect of depression on experience and its transformation during a depressed state. To achieve this goal, I will look at the structure of experience as we experience it in a normal state. Husserl will give us the answer to the basic structure of experience through his concept of horizon and at the same time through his phenomenological reduction, which prompts us to reflect on this structure. Once the foundation of this structure is laid, I will introduce concept of existential feelings bases on the work of Matthew Ratcliffe, thanks to which we will be able to focus on the very transformation of experience during a depressed state. When we understand how the structure of the experience changes, we will be able to also focus on certain symptoms that are a part of the experience of depression and show what has changed from the original experience. This thesis is divided into four parts. The first chapter aims to introduce depression itself and the reason why it is desirable to use a phenomenological approach, and why can be very helpful for current approaches to depression. At the same time, I will put forward phenomenological reduction and the phenomenological stance derived from it, which will show us the way, where and how to proceed. In the second part, we...

The thesis aims to explore what the motives decadence and health mean in the context of late Nietzsche's thinking, what role they play in his grand philosophical project of the revaluation of all values, and how they interplay with each other. A consistent motive is applied throughout the thesis, that of decadence and health being opposites in terms of "amount" or "direction" of will to power manifesting itself through them - decadence, or bodily decay, is taken to represent a descending line of life characterized by a lack of will to power, and suffering from "a lack of life", while health is taken to represent an ascending line of life which is characterized as overflowing with life and suffering from it as well. The concepts of decadence and health are thus interpreted as physiological manifestations of these two directions, or, roughly said, "vectors" of will to power. The first chapter of the thesis...
