Selected Problems of Ancient Economic Thought
ŠPLÍCHALOVÁ, Hana
he diploma thesis, entitled: Selected Problems of Economic Thinkers of Antiquity, is focused on the intellectual contribution left to us by ancient philosophers: Xenophobia, Plato, Aristotle. Before I begin to discuss my observations regarding the economics of the above-mentioned personalities, it was necessary to outline a period in which you will "move" for several dozen pages. The very time of ancient Greece lasted several centuries, so I hope to forgive me for devoting "only" a few pages to it throughout my dissertation. After reading the brief version of ancient Greece, you will get to the main parts of the whole work. Each of the personalities is structured in almost the same way. I focus first on the life and work of the philosopher, his view of the state, and finally his economic ideas; they have this in common. In the case of Plato and Aristotle, one more point is the content of the treatise on how their statements are seen in the eyes of, for example, Karl Marx and other personalities of philosophy and economics. Since it is known that Aristotle was a disciple of Plato, I tried to place the two next to each other and compare their mutual influence ... Last but not least, I must not forget to draw attention to the appendix, which cites some important passages for me (from the works of authors, about which this dissertation is on), on which a significant part of my work stands.

The Reign of Marcus Aurelius: Stoicism in Political Decisions
Vošček, Lukáš ; Halamka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the philosophy and government of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. The thesis aims to find out how Stoic philosophy influenced Marcus Aurelius and his political decisions. Although he is generally regarded as a representative of Stoicism, the first section of the thesis examines to what extent, or whether at all, he truly was a Stoic. This part begins with a description of Stoicism in general, followed by an introduction of two representatives of the Late Stoa, Seneca and Epictetus, whose thoughts the thesis draws on in the following sections. Their Stoic ideas are compared with the philosophical reflections of Marcus Aurelius, which are contained in his only philosophical book - Meditations. The thesis analyses the thoughts of the book in detail using qualitative content analysis. Based on this section dealing solely with philosophy, the first research question can be answered, i.e., to what extent Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic. In the second section, the thesis traces the important and controversial political decisions that Marcus Aurelius made during his reign. The insights gained from historical literature are enriched with the author's interpretation of the interconnectedness with Stoicism, which forms the basis for answering the second research question, i.e., to...

Education, dialogue and totalitarianism in philosophical reflection
Dobiáš, Ondřej ; Pelcová, Naděžda (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to interpret the philosophical concepts of the education, dialogue and totality against the backdrop of the potential contemporary educational crisis. The thesis demonstrates the contributions of philosophy in characterisation of education. The topics were inspired by the question whether the formal education can develop the authentic thinking of an individual. The author aims to expose the original and justifiable assumptions of education and demonstrate the potential consequences of education perceived solely as a matter of formation and integration into pre-set social structures and mechanisms. The thesis exposes the very essence of education as the fundamental capability of entering dialogue and points out its need for a free yet responsible self-determination of a post-modern individual whose inherent ability to surpass own assumptions prevents the society from the rise of the totalitarian thinking. Key words Education, pedagogy, crisis, philosophy, ethics, dialogue, totality, world, science, technology, authenticity, transcendence, object, freedom, spontaneity, will, thinking

Influence of existencialism on education
Sál, Petr ; Syřiště, Ivo (advisor) ; Prokop, Jiří (referee)
The theme of this thesis is to describe the development of the philosophical basis for the emergence of existentialism by Jean-Paul Sartre and subsequently explore this philosophical model. Then the work proceeds to the thought experiment and creates an outline of the teacher's competence, which would include the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre. The basic question, which this thesis should answer, is whether it is possible to apply a philosophical approach of existentialism, especially early philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, as it was presented in the lecture (called) Existentialism is a Humanism, into the school environment with the aim to improve the possibilities of education and thus uplift the teacher's working outside the official curriculum standard.
