Kierkegaard's philosophy of existence
Šimeček, Andrej ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
This work takes as its central issue the existential movement as it appears in the philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard. There appears to be relatively little secondary literature on this topic, so it is a very fruitful area to explore. The texts explored include Kierkegaard's 'psychological' books, in particular Concept of Anxiety and Sickness unto Death. These provide our work with the crucial concepts of innocence, guilt, despair, anxiety, existence and spirit. From the more traditional philosophical works, Philosophical Fragments, Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments and Johannes Climacus have been utilised. These texts inform the work mostly on the meaning of movement, doubt, contradiction and absolute paradox. From the more lyrical works, this work is informed by Fear and Trembling and Repetition. Inquiry into these texts combined will provide a picture of existential movement as it is presented by Kierkegaard. This work attempts to capture the 'becoming subjective' which is so central to Kierkegaard's thought, through the reconstruction of the existential stages.

Symbolism in The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
ŠOJDELOVÁ, Jana
In J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, the most significant overarching theme of the novel is the adolescent struggle of the main character, Holden no longer wants to be a child, but also does not yet know how to be an adult, which results in his breakdown. This difficult situation that virtually all humans face is masterfully investigated by the Salinger's careful use of symbolic references throughout the novel. A thorough understanding of these symbols and how they operate in the novel is essential to fully comprehend and learn from Holden's journey within the story. To that end, the aim of this Bachelor's Thesis is to delineate how the most important symbols in the novel creates meaning in the story. Symbols and symbolic elements require detailed examination in relation to the central metaphor and within the context and meaning of the whole novel, since most of them occur repeatedly. It is also necessary to consider how other critics have regarded these symbols and the associated meanings and messages inherent in the novel.

The Portrayal and Self-Image of Holden Caulfield of The Catcher in the Rye
FIBINGEROVÁ, Aneta
The aim of the thesis is to analyze the two possible views on Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger?s The Catcher in the Rye ? his self-image and his portrayal. The self-image discussion will be based on Holden?s own perception of himself (with his statements and fantasies being the source of information), while the portrayal will be analyzed from more objective point of view. The focus of the portrayal will be the discussion of Holden?s motivation and the influence of his attitude and his family on the situation he finds himself in.
