Empathy in the Context of Edith Stein´s Philosophy
ŠTORKÁNOVÁ, Radka
The aim of the thesis is to dive deeper into the early philosophical work of Edith Stein, especially with regard to her dissertation thesis On the Problem of Empathy. She defended it in 1916 before Edmund Husserl and its main contribution is to open the question of the possibility of mediating the knowledge of the world among subjects. In her first work, Stein focuses on the act of empathy itself, on the constitution of a psychophysical individual, and she asks about their conditions and possibilities of empathy and our own self-concept. This thesis will follow the line of her thinking in detail and it will try to grasp her contribution (comprehensively and in context) to topics such as intersubjectivity and constitution of our self and experience, on the border of the phenomenological method. The affiliated issues, including those related to empathy, will not be left aside either.
Performance and performance philosophy
MARTINEK, Filip Gorazd
This diploma thesis aims to acquaints the kind reader with the issue of performance. However, the approach to performance in this work is rather philosophical. Methodologically, we find ourselves between performance and philosophy. The reader is first acquainted with the narrative of a specific performance, performative turn and performance studies. A definition of performance is provided with an application to history, in which there are also completely new insights into what we can consider a real performance. Moreover, history itself is addressed through philosophy. A large part of the work deals with the explanation of the philosophical work of Tomas Ruller. The final part of the thesis introduces the reader the possibility of establishing philosophical anthropology in the work of Edita Stein, which is the opposite of the contemporary trend of anti-essentialism.
