From Descates' Mind to Kant's Reason
Dekastello, Petr ; Hill, James (advisor) ; Palkoska, Jan (referee)
The basic subject-matter of my research is R. Descartes' Meditations On First Philosophy and I examine the term intellect and its position within the mind and its relation to thought. My work includes a study of sensation and imagination which provide the intellect with "material" to judge. The objective of my thesis is to demonstrate the role the intellect plays in terms of reason and to present an interpretation of the way in which the mind is designated in relation to reason according to Rene Descartes in his writing and in his responses to objections. The position and functions of the intellect are understood as a logical structure of mutual dependence and as the elements essential for the understanding of the human soul substance. At the end of my thesis I demonstrate that the system of reason of R. Descartes might be considered as the basis for the transcendental conception of reason in Kant's philosophy, which leads to an idealistic world conception and is founded on thinking a priori.

Coincidentia oppositorum in the work of Nicholas of Cusa De docta ignorantia
Buchta, Petr ; Karfíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Novák, Lukáš (referee)
The aim of this work is to examine the idea of coincidence of opposites (coincidenta oppositorum) in the work of Nicholas of Cusa On Learned Ignorance (De docta ignorantia). We will try to show that this idea is constitutive for the whole of De docta ignorantia which is composed of three books and that upon this idea is based a certain way of doing philosophy which purpose is to be completed by faith. We will use the edition of the Heidelberg Academy: Nicolai de Cusa Opera omnia iussu et auctoritate Academiae Litterarum Heidelbergensis (Hamburg 1932 - 2004).
