Aquinas on passions and contemporary view of emotion
KILBERGR, Pavel
In the first part, this thesis deals with description of concept of passions in Summa theologica from Thomas Aquinas. Further in two subsequent parts, the concept of passions is compared with attitudes to emotions within psychological discourse. Firstly, there is being described a manner of men´s cognitive abilities in the thesis and also there is being separated rational from sensory cognition which evokes in fact the reaction, to wit: passions. These are divided into two parts according to Aquinas. The first part contains concupiscible passions which rise in a direct response to a stimulus leading to achieving success. The second part called irascible has its aim in surmounting problems and difficulties. Secondly, the thesis describes theories of emotions and sorts them according to psychological attitudes. Finally, the theories of emotions are compared to the concept of emotions by Aquinas in the final part and consequently the congruence is being sought.
„I love Justine so much that I can not be without her…“ The metamorphose of the narration from passio to hagiographic romance
Zajíčková, Vendula
There is no article in Legenda aurea or in old Czech Passional which has its pattern from Christian ancient times when acta and passions were creating. The genological prototype of acta has not been reflected in later periods. In spite of this, the prototype of passio is evident with its original topoi (“idols, or torture to death”, imitatio Christi, ancilla Dei, sponsa Christi, desire to death) and the dialogue, which was developer from original examination of Christian by Roman high official. On the hagiographic text about Saint Justine and Saint Cyprian was proved the features of magical novel (Zauberroman). The tendency to narrativity rose up during High Middle Ages, the topoi of beauty and noble birth were added. The character of devil was changed: from the pagan as the (d)evil´s instrument transformed into the personificationed devil.
