Comparartion of L. Feuerbach and D. Durkheim in Relation to Religion
Kašpar, Oldřich ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Horák, Vít (referee)

Initially, both authors are analyzed separately, and later they are brought together in the converging section. The main issues discussed in the converging part are the approach to the origins of god and faith, the approach to soul, and the approach to the interconnection of religion and society. This comparison shows that through completely different arguments the authors are able to come to an agreement about the influence of religion on an individual or a social group.

Feuerbach argues that the redirection of faith from man to god can lead to alienation, yet still he agrees with Durkheim that it is an important social phenomenon that bounds together individuals and society. Feuerbach represents philosophical investigation, while Durkheim's approach is more sociological, resembling partly...

Žaloudková, Veronika ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
The content of this Bachelor's thesis called The symbol and the importance of animals in the Latin-American fable with regard to pre-hispanic tradition is focused on the definition of the concept of fable as a literary genre, its form, function, scale and language by which it is characterized. It's further defined and compared with other genres it could be confused with and whose development it had an influence on. The probable origin and presence in ancient Greek and Roman literature is also mentioned. This part of the work is focused on the most important ancient authors like Aesop, Phaedrus and Babrios. The European tradition continues with fables of La Fontaine and as with the previous authors, the work evaluates his style and also focuses on the life story of the writer. As a rarity the mini fable by Karel Čapek is mentioned. The specifics of fables in the Latin-American region are described further. This thesis defines these as an individual literary genre and provides description of the formation of fable in this region. Among other things this work stresses the importance of typing, which is very important for the Latin-American fable, becuse the authors intended to shape their stories into unique local style, therefore it was necessary to replace the European names of the animals with local...
