Martin Heidegger: Man, World and Space
Kocman, Vojtěch ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Ritter, Martin (referee)
5 Abstract This essay presents an attempt to interpret the key moments of Heidegger's conception of spaciousness. Considering the fact, that Heidegger didn't publish his understanding of spaciousness in any systematic form, it is necessary to work with a great amount of primary texts often available only in a fragmentary shape. Another difficulty is given by the author's use of language, which requires very demanding translations; we always translate the source texts in this paper. Within his conception termed as the topology of being Heidegger attempts to think about the space not as a measurable quantity, but in correlation with the Greek concept of τόπος, i.e. the qualitatively determined place. This essay concentrates on Heidegger's early work as well as on his late period, during which the topological thinking plays a central role; it also tries to identify the connection between them. The understanding of thinking as a way is essential, as well as the connection of thinking and poetry and the relation between space and time, which are considered of equal value in Heidegger's late work. Merely outlined remain other directions, which may be taken by further research within Heidegger's concept of spaciousness: the critique of the contemporary way of the uncovering of the world, the deepened relation with...

Phenomenological Conception of Space
Luhanová, Eliška ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Novotný, Karel (referee) ; TASSIN, Étienne (referee)
of Ph.D. Thesis Phenomenological Conception of Space Eliška Luhanová The thesis focuses on the nature of experience which a perceiving self has with other beings and on the conditions which make such an encounter possible. It emphasises the role of the spatiality, which is seen as a defining characteristic of corporeal sensible beings. Broadly speaking, the work belongs to post-phenomenological philosophy. The Introduction summarises the main methodological principles of a phenomenological approach and presents post-phenomenology as a specific discourse which rejects the egocentrism typical of classical, especially Husserlian phenomenology. The exposition proper starts with an outline of a phenomenological theory of perception (Chapter I) and continues by offering an outline of the basic ontological characteristics of sensibly given entities, especially of their trans- empirical nature (Chapter II). The following chapter briefly treats some issues related to the nature of a phenomenal field, which is described as a structure of possible ways in which beings can manifest themselves (Chapter III). The subsequent chapters form the main core of the thesis. They deal with the spatial manner of being of entities which manifest themselves (Chapter IV) and of the self which experiences them (Chapter V). The...

Patočka's Conception of Architecture
Šturmankin, Branislav ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Zuska, Vlastimil (referee)
The thesis being presented deals with Patočka's conception of personal bodily space and the architectonics of such space. Personal bodily space is Patočka's specific explication of spatiality of being in the world, which is one of the most fundamental problems of phenomenology in general. We work out this conception of spatiality in the first main part of our thesis by using Patočka's selected texts from the sixties, thus extending Patočka's systematic approach to this problem from his treatise Space and its Issues. This extension is mainly based on the themes of personality and corporality. In the second main part we focus on the architectonics of the worked out notion of spatiality. By this we mean an interpretation of Patočka's explication of personal bodily space through his usage of the notions of building and living (dwelling). Between these two parts we include a comparison with a similar conception of spatiality found in Heidegger's Being and Time.
