Bedřich Vašek and the "Christian Sociology" in the Context of the Development of the Church's Social Teaching in the First Half of the 20th Century. Implications for the 21st Century
M. Demartini, Lenka ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee) ; Halama, Jindřich (referee)
The dissertation seeks an answer to the question of the content of the somewhat paradoxical phrase "Christian sociology", specifically the content of Christian sociology as conceived by the Moravian scholar of the first half of the 20th century Bedřich Vašek (1882-1959). At the same time, however, as a result of the insights brought by the research itself, the original thesis was supplemented by the question of the current state of this specific rejuvenating field. The idea of Christian sociology remained virtually dormant from the 1950s until the later 1970s. The revival of the field can be seen as an apparent response to both the methodological changes of the Second Vatican Council and the advent of postmodern society. The research has provided a wealth of stimuli for exploring the relationship between the historical phenomenon of Christian sociology and contemporary notions of the Christian or Catholic perspective in sociology and, more broadly, the relationship between the social doctrine of the Church, theology and sociology in international and domestic settings. Through a specifically chosen methodological approach, which combines the study of authentic papal documents from the first half of the 20th century, the study of archival materials related to the person of Bedřich Vašek, the...

Religion and Economics in the Works of Classical Sociologists
Mitriková, Petra ; Havlík, Radomír (advisor) ; Kubišová, Zuzana (referee)
This master thesis seeks the relationship between religion and economics in the works of some classics of sociology. The goal of this thesis is to find out if and to what extend religion and economy in these classics influence and relate with each other. From sociologists I focused on Max Weber, Karl Marx, Georg Simmel and Werner Sombart. The first chapter deals with sociology of religion and serves as an introduction to the issue religion in sociology. The second chapter concerns with Max Weber, the third chapter is about Karl Marx, the fourth about Georg Simmel and the fifth about Werner Sombart. The sixth chapter is an overview of other sociologists who deal with sociology of religion and in works of which it would be possible and interesting to search for the connection between religion and economics.

Moral boundaries between Christians and atheists
Koloušková, Barbora ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
This paper deals with an idea of boundaries that christians and non-christians construct and the way these boundaries emerge and reproduce. Based on the analysis of twelve in-depth interviews, I show that the concept of moral boundaries is relevant for the relationship between christians and non-christians. Although many emphasize tolerance and understanding, they define themselves as opposed to each other in many ways. Christians consider God's commandments to be the source of morality, non-christians think it is rooted in people themselves. Christians consider relationship with God, love and good christian life to be the highest values and they think non-christians prefer money, health and family. Those admit these values, but they emphasize that being christian does not automatically mean being a good person. As a respond to today's situation, I analyze creating social distance and symbolic boundaries against ethnic and national minorities. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Kopáčová, Hana ; Havlíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hupková, Martina (referee)
This bachelor work aims to portray and describe the inner regional differentiation of the group of believers in Bohemia according to the findings of population census 2011. The hypothesis is that the spatial differentiation of believers in Czechia is uneven in both, the total proportion of believers for inhabitants and in the group of believers itself. The first part of the work tries to handle the complex reality of religion. It also mentions and describes briefly the basic terms and theories in sociology and geography of religion explaining religious processes taking place in the present-day society. Among these processes there are secularization, deprivatization of religion, theory of rational religious choice and implicit religion. The geographical discourse concerning regional differentiation of Bohemia according to religion is summarized briefly. The second part of the work is devoted to the classification of the population census 2011 results into groups and aggregates according to the answers to the query about religion. Believers were classified into believers with belonging and believers without belonging. For the inner structure of the group of believers with belonging the parameters of religious tradition, a type of religious institution and the most numerous records were chosen....

Between Defence and Resistance: Destinies of Eighteenth Century Protestant Communities in Eastern Bohemia and Haut-Languedoc
Kalivodová, Eva ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee) ; Durand, Stéphane (referee)
Between Defence and Resistance: Destinies of Eighteenth-Century Protestant Communities in Eastern Bohemia and Haut-Languedoc Abstract Based on archive research and literature the thesis compares the religious life of illegal Protestant communities in the 18th century Eastern Bohemia and Haut-Languedoc. From macroanalytical perspective it assesses the strategies of protestant minorities used to resist the disciplining efforts of the absolutist state. The confessional homogeneity, economic background and social stratification of Protestants in Eastern Bohemia and Haut-Languedoc differed. Yet, the contrasting comparison opens up the way to analyse the divergent resistance strategies. Further, the thesis examines the existence and nature of attempts to simplify the religious doctrine and to modify the liturgy undertaken by the lay and ordained priests and the worshippers. The structure combines the thematic and chronological approach, while keeping a broad perspective that encompasses also the economic and cultural context. First tree chapters outline and conceptualize the problem of prohibited Protestantism in both regions during the 17th and most of the 18th centuries. While in Languedoc the Presbyterian-synodic structure was revived (albeit illegally), in Eastern Bohemia and in whole Bohemia and Moravia...
