What may we hope for? Immanuel Kant's Philosophy of Religion
Dudek, Petr ; Kranát, Jan (advisor) ; Navrátilová, Olga (referee)
The diploma thesis named What may we hope for? Immanuel Kant's Philosophy of Religion has the goal to explore Kant's philosophy of religion to answer the question what a reasonable human being may hope for according to I. Kant. To reach the above mentioned goal we are going to deal with Kant's ethics of duty in the first chapter trying to find the answer to the question how the reasonable human being shall live to be able to hope at least. In the second chapter we focus on Kant's critique of proof of God's existence which precedes Kant's fundamental study about postulates of pure practical reason. From the third chapter we begin to map Kant's philosophy of religion chronologically. We enter Kant's prior to critical period and we try to interpret Kant's letter in which we can find the first important statements of our philosopher towards Christianity. Along with the fourth chapter we step into Kant's critical period and we process already mentioned study about postulates of pure practical reason. The last two chapters draw from I. Kant's post-critical document. In the chapter named About Human Nature we meet with Kant's concept of human nature, further we also compare where this concept corresponds with or perhaps differs from the previous philosophical periods of our philosopher. In the last...

Religion and Morality: God in Kant's practical philosophy
Bizubová, Barbora ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Karásek, Jindřich (referee)
I follow two basic lines in the inquired works: I find out, first, how Kant operates with the concept of God and how can this concept be understood in context of his philosophy as a whole. Second, as a consequence of it I consider the relation between human morality (or categorical imperative) and faith (religion). The postulate of the existence of God that Kant puts forward in the Critique of Practical Reason gives rise to the question: How can the idea of God be compatible with the autonomous morality, which is in fact the main pillar of Kant's ethics (formulated in the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Moral)? The Religon within the limits of reason alone answers some of the basic questions considering the concept of God and religous belief. Thanks to these answers it can be shown how the autonomy of the will is compatible with the religion. Key words Human morality, philosophy of religion, God, the categorical imperative, the highest Good

Between monologue and dialogue: An interpretation of Buber's book I and Thou
Rosolová, Daniela ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Jirsa, Jakub (referee)
This paper is devoted to a critical analysis of the book I and Thou in the attempt to identify the main points of the dialogical philosophy as presented by Martin Buber. The introductory passages present the background of the book in terms of time (the era after WWI), cultural background (the influence of Hasidism), or the history of philosophy (an opposition to immanentism, monism, idealism, transcendental philosophy etc.). The main goal of the following interpretation is to try to understand man as a person in his complex existential situation, i.e. through his potential relationships or objectifying attitudes to the world. Being is described as a dual structure either of the basic pair of words I-Thou or of the basic pair of words I-It. As opposed to the usual use of the term, dialogue is defined as a specific interaction of man and the remaining world metaphorically expressible by the structure of addressing-responding. By this scheme, the characteristic reciprocity and direct continuity is expressed. The dialogue is also placed in the area "between" I and Thou, which mediates the genuine, immediate and transcendental knowledge constituting the reality. Finally, the dialogical attitude is compared and contrasted to the monological comprehension of the world. Key words: personalism, dialogical...
