The Role of Play in Peirce's Semiotics
Borč, Marek ; Švantner, Martin (advisor) ; Gvoždiak, Vít (referee)
This thesis focuses on the basic delimiting of the issue of play within the framework C. S. Peirce's semiotics. Its objective is to expound and explicate the role of the phenomena of play in Peirce's philosophy using selected Peirce's texts and secondary literature, whereas our main starting-point is Peirce's identification of play with the inferential form of abduction. As such play is connected to Peirce's theories of sign and inference, as well as to the concepts of synechism, evolutionary cosmology and pragmatism. This finding sets Peirce's theory of inference within critical logic as one of the key themes of the thesis. In relation to this finding we give a basic explanation of Peirce's phaneroscopy and speculative grammar which in dependency on Peirce's classification of sciences set the ground for our analysis of play as a process of inference as well as a significant function. Within the framework of critical logic we focus primarily on abduction, especially on the question of the validity of abduction as a form of logical reasoning as well as on Peirce's transition from understanding different forms of inference as separate processes to understanding them as a continuous and interdependent whole of the scientific method. We develop Peirce's brief conception of play through an excursion...

Importance of Game in Upbringing and Education
Nekolová, Iveta ; Pelcová, Naděžda (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee)
The work will consist of two parts. The first will be theoretical and will reflect the elementary concepts - game, education, education process, the world and culture. The theoretical reflection will comprise a historical overview, philosophical analysis and comparison of various game conceptions. It will be the definition of historical, philosophical, sociological and anthropological perspective. The second part will be oriented practically. We will focus on using games in education as a teaching method. A mini-research executed among schoolmates, soon-to-be teachers, will be included. Using questionnaires we will try to find out the extent of using games in educational process.
