Joke as an Expression of Collective Memory: Conjunction of Maurice Halbwachs' and Sigmund Freud's theories
Smyčková, Barbora ; Mlynář, Jakub (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
(in English): The bachelor thesis is founded on the interdisciplinary connection of two classic scholars' approaches in psychology and sociology, in a broader frame the topic of collective memory. Specifically, it aims to theoretical application of thoughts of Sigmund Freud, introduced in his book Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, to the theory of collective memory by Maurice Halbwachs; thus explaining joke as an expression of collective memory. The paper shows an interdisciplinary relationship of texts by the mentioned authors and also discusses the possibility of supporting sociological theory of memory by thoughts of one of the most influential psychologists. In the first part, the concept of collective memory by Maurice Halbwachs is introduced. It is explained in sociological context and with consideration of the influences of linguistic social framework of the memory. Another connection of those two main themes is explained through the concept of unconsciousness, which is the main topic of the second part of thesis, together with Freud's ideas. The last part is dedicated to the very hypothesis about the possible explanation of the joke as an expression of collective memory. The elaboration of the theme is limited to theoretical analysis of the primary and secondary literature and...

Comparison of logical and psychological perspectives on the concept of number.
Kuncová, Alexandra ; Punčochář, Vít (advisor) ; Kůrka, Petr (referee)
This paper is divided into three main parts. In the first part, we propose a logical approach to the concept of number based on Frege's Foundations of Arithmetic. Besides the main attempt to define and classify number per se, we also discuss Husserl's struggle with psychologism, Frege's logicism, and the construction of the series of natural numbers. In the second part, we look at a psychological approach to the concept of number through theories and experiments of cogni- tive science. We focus on infants' understanding of numbers and amounts, their counting abilities and later conventional skills. In the third part, we summarise differences as well as similarities of these two approaches. Keywords: cognitive science, concept, Frege, Husserl, identity, logicism, num- ber, one-to-one correspondence, Piaget, psychologism. "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." (Albert Einstein, Geometry and Experience, 1921)

PLOS, Michal
Author´s research has led to the processing of psychologism theory as a tool to detect the methodological procedure of doctrine of Jehova´s Witnesses, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, The Bahai Faith, Haifan Bahaism from movement management, through the movement medium to the seeker and to what extent can these doctrines manipulate the seeker. The thesis attempts to extract the thinking core within new religious movements, as a prerequisite for the detection of intentions of the mentioned movements, and also it tries to extract analogous statements about how these movements may develop in the future stages of their existence. The basic tool of academic study and view: comparison, psychology of religion.
