Probe into the soul of a table tennis player
NEUMAN, Jiří
The thesis aims to awaken the reader's curiosity about the study of leisure. Through qualitative research, there is an attempt to outline the experience of leisure through the eyes of professional table tennis players who were interviewed to gain insight into their lives. Furthermore, through an interpretative phenomenological analysis of the data, an evaluation of the research has taken place. The emergent themes related to leisure were further explored through other literature that related directly or indirectly to the themes. The whole thesis is a subjective view of leisure through the perspective of the author who is also an active table tennis player. The thesis is indirectly divided into three parts, from the author's theoretical considerations, to the methodology, to the evaluation of the research results. The thesis should serve to encourage in-depth exploration of leisure through people's individual experiences.

Cíl lidského života a jeho vliv na koncepci ctností
KILBERGR, Pavel
The goal of human life is the subject of virtue ethics and answers the question about the nature of beatitude, which is the ultimate end of human action. It is the subject of both ancient philosophy and medieval scholasticism, in which Thomas's conception of the virtues has a fundamental place. It is currently being explored in the fields of both philosophy and theology. This thesis addresses the problem of the nature of the last end through an exposition of the basic positions in Aristotelian and Thomistic virtue ethics. Through the elaboration of the basic positions, a clear distinction is made between natural and supernatural virtue ethics, which, however, within the framework of Thomas's conception, form a coherent and interconnected system that is faithful to the Aristotelian model. Thomas's virtue ethics is a model example of a conception of virtue that captures the fullness of the immanent dimension of man through philosophical cognition along with a transcendent overlay.

Human being by Ibn Rushd and Maimonides
Kopecká, Pavlína ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee)
This thesis interprets the concept of human being in the work of Maimonides and ibn Rushd, two representatives of major Arab and Jewish medieval philosophy. It combines the ancient Greek philosophical tradition, especially Aristotle, with a religious context. When Maimonides and Ibn Rushd tried to harmonize these two traditions, they had to deal with many opposite views, that stemmed from the difference between religious and ancient world. Behind this intellectual ground have they created the original thesis and approaches to grasping reality, the world and the human being in it. The issue of human being is analyzed in three levels. The first level consists of the relationship between human being and creation, which addresses the question about origin of the world the human soul and the resurrection. The second level, i.e. the man and the world, is devoted to describing a scheme of the world, human knowledge and the theory of prophecy. Ethical and political views are analyzed on the third level, which represents the position of human being in relation to the polis. Keywords Ibn Rushd, Maimonides, Aristotle, Plato, neoplatonism, philosophy, religion, The Koran, Torah, human being, world, creation, eternity, soul, resurrection, emanation, knowledge, illumination, active intellect, prophecy, politics,...

Pyrrho's, academic and methodical skepticism - comparison
Brabníková, Petra ; Blažková, Miloslava (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee)
The main objective of my dissertation is to research and to introduce hellenistic skepticism of postclassical Greece and methodical skepticism of modern times thinker Rene Descartes. There are differences between the ancient Pyrrhonism and the younger skepticism of Academy, which I would like to clear up. I have in view Descartes' skepticism too, which create a methodological technique of cognition in new way. Rene Descartes, contrary to hellenistic skeptics, doesn't accept the "epoche", which means a certain bliss, but he moves on in his research, when he believes in a possibility of truthful cognition. Purpose of my thesis is to critically take account of historical and philosophical context, from which both of skepticisms have been created, to put a question, what kind of meaning they had in history of philosophy and also to think about fundamental question of connection between hellenistic and Descartes doubt. I try to accent common characteristics and differences of both concepts. key words - skepticism, methodical skepticism, truthful cognition, probability, phenomena, senses, intellect, bliss

Šenk Kopecká, Pavlína ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Semrádová, Ilona (referee) ; Kalábová, Helena (referee)
Medieval philosophy in the Arabic world has sought to harmonize the Greek philosophic tradition with the Islamic religion. Many rulers, scholars and theologians were against this intellectual approach and defend the Islam from the philosophers. The position of philosophy and its followers in the Arabic realm was therefore uneasy. Many scholars had to hide their opinions between the lines and avoid to doing philosophy publicly. Alongside the unfriendly environment, the position of philosophy in the Arabic society was also determined by common notion of scholars, that the revealing of the philosophical thoughts can be harmful for uneducated citizen, as well as influenced by mysticism. The aim of this thesis is to summarize the main philosophical approaches responding to the problematic position of philosophy in the Arabic world. Crucial will be the philosophy of solitary by Ibn Bajja, where the author seeks to bond tight the philosopher's life with the city and thus present a new role of philosopher in the Arabic society. Keywords Ibn Bajja, Rule of the Solitary, Al-Farabi, Political Regime, Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Plato, The Republic, political philosophy, mysticism, ethics, philosopher, virtue, city, weeds, knowledge, governance, happiness
