Koloušek, Martin ; Pinz, Jan (advisor) ; Maršálek, Pavel (referee)
1 Abstrakt anglicky This diploma thesis discusses the phenomenon of justice in contemporary legal thought. In general part the thesis deals with the genesis and development of the concept of justice in Greek legal-philosophical thought and defines selected problems arising from formal-logical and historical view on researched phenomenon. It is stated that justice is in Greek thought understood primarily as a moral category which serves to measure law and its correctness. It is also made a finding that concrete opinions on justice are already in Greece very diverse and it is difficult to find a common element. In special part of the thesis is given an exposition of selected thinkers of contemporary legal thought and their opinions on justice. It has been found that although their reflections are inferior to those of their Hellenic predecessors, they agree with them that justice is an ethical category. In the light of findings gained by studying both ancient Greek authors as well as contemporary authors there are examined selected aspects of liberal-democratic legal orders in the prism of justice. There has been found in the thesis that there exist aspects that do not correspond to the concept of justice introduced in the thesis and that therefore exists a space for potential improvement. Given examination is...

Morality and law
Zídek, Tomáš Matjaž ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Urban, Michal (referee)
1 Morality and law For the most of us it is quite clear what law is. Most of us have certain idea what law represents. A lot of us may have a different idea, it is because of many elements which affect our law perception. On the most basic level, law is something which is connected to specific values in society. Based on this idea we can certainly say that law is something which guarantees balance in society and system which provides safety. On the other hand, morality is a subject of a discipline called ethics. This subject represents a system which provides and protects distinctive values which have different normative quality. This system is formed by high amount of appropriate rules of behavior and its way to realize this behavior. In the past, the connection between these two systems was very important, it was a noticeable fact that these two systems cooperate and communicate. Even though nowadays these systems are more and more divided, they still interact. In the law of Czech Republic the connection between morality and law can be observed especially in the good manners. Good manners are intentions which are projected throughout the whole law system. The main goal of good manners and morality is to fill the gaps in the law. Another important goal is also to straighten the perception of justice in the...

Savagery in The Inheritors and the Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Juranková, Miriam ; Higgins, Bernadette (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
Savagery in The Inheritors and the Lord of the Flies by William Golding Bachelor thesis, Bc. Miriam Juranková, 2016 ABSTRACT William Golding dedicated his life's work to an exploration of man's nature. The primary themes of most of his novels are the conflict between civilization and savagery, good and evil and the question of the source of evil within man. This thesis focuses on his first two and most well-known novels: Lord of the Flies and The Inheritors. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the theme of savagery in these books. The aim of this thesis is to infer what Golding intends to convey concerning the nature of man and to analyse how he understands and views savagery. The theoretical foundation of this thesis is based on a comprehensive definition of the terms civilization, savagery and barbarism derived from their etymology and their meaning within various social sciences; and Golding's own ethical doctrine established in his works. Other sources include works focused on literary analysis of Golding's novels, interviews and articles written about Golding's life and work and naturally both the novels analysed. Key words: savagery, savage instinct, civilizing instinct, civilization, barbarism, morality, innate evil, man's nature, cruelty, William Golding, Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors

To the Philosophical Relation of Compassion and Liberty
Sváčková, Kateřina ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with two phenomena, compassion and freedom, specifically the concept in the philosophy of A. Schopenhauer and J.-J. Rousseau. We believe that these two themes are essential points of the two philosophical systems. Despite the different contexts, concepts and definitions of the terms, compassion for both philosophers represents a kind of positive ability of human beings (counterweight of the necessary present egoism) from which social virtues and interpersonal relationships arise. Freedom in its largest scale is then the objective of every human being, whether the concept of freedom means anything: positive (possibility of arbitrariness in its natural state, the relative freedom of action) or negative definition of freedom (absence of causality or any form of dependence). The primary objective of this thesis is to outline the possible relations between the two phenomena. It seems that the ability of compassion may potentially be limiting certain forms of human freedom, though such a form of freedom may turn out to be insufficient. It turns out, however, that by using the ability of compassion it is possible to reach the most desirable and liberating freedom.
