Ethnography of research object in knowledge production practices: Configurations of materiality, discursivity and agency.
Górska, Magdalena ; Kiczková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
Thesis investigates performative processes of research object materialization in everyday research practices enacted in a scientific laboratory examining biosynthesis of pheromones of bumblebees. Drawing attention to the simultaneous continuities and transformations that are characteristic for the specific materialization processes of the research object, the thesis attempts to question anthropocentric accounts of cognitive practices of science and focuses not only on human but also on non-human agency. It also attempts to challenge conceptualisation of matter as passive and essential entity which is grounded in positivist and representationalist accounts of science and knowledge. Instead, it aims to understand materiality and diskursivity as mutually and onto-epistemologically constitutive. The thesis also marginally focuses on the contemporary research policies and managerial and evaluation systems that are discussed here as normative actors transforming concept of science and agentially constituting research object enactment in everyday research practices. These debates are grounded in a posthumanist materialist framework that builds on literature in science studies (Actor-Network-Theory in particular) and feminist materialism of Karen Barad and Judith Butler.

The Concept of Baptism by Jan Bechyňka in the Traktát o viděních a pokušeních zbožného mládence (Tractate of Visions and Temptations of Devout Youth) and in the Treatise O křtu zvonu (On baptism of the Bell).
Beranová, Bohumila ; Rejchrtová, Noemi (advisor) ; Halama, Ota (referee)
The thesis deals with conception of baptism by utraquist priest Jan Bechyňka. At first the figure of the peculiar writer and theologian after being introduced is integrated into historical connections of the jagellonian era. The chapters that follow aim at the particular topic. Bechyňka ́s view of pedobaptism drawn from a long passage about commitment of baptism from his Traktát o viděních a pokušeních zbožného mládence [The Tractate on Visions and Temptations of Devout Youth] is compared with pedobaptism in Chelčický ́s Zprávy o svátostech [Reports of Sacraments] and with baptism in general of another Chečický ́s work - Rozpravy [Disccusions] in Parisian manuscript. At first I had intended finding out paralles between mentioned thinkers, however certain differences have appeared as well, not in essential facts. In the case of Bechyňka ́s tractate O křtu zvonu [On Baptism of the Bell] I give an interpretation to it in the concrete. The last chapter deals with utraquist baptismal praxis in the early modern times and in the present day and in general describes baptismal rites of these times. As a apendix I add Bechyňka ́s tractate O křtu zvonu [On Baptism of the Bell] with a commentary and transcriptional notes. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Hayek's concept of individualism
Doleček, Pavel ; Znoj, Milan (advisor) ; Bíba, Jan (referee)
This thesis aims to reconstruct meanings of individualism in works of F. A. Hayek and to prove that individualism serves as a standpoint to his epistemological advocacy of liberalism. First of all is presented an analytical framework which stands on distinction of two degrees of liberal argumentation and defines possible meanings of individualism. Subsequently methodological individualism is discussed to clarify Hayek's concept of social sciences and his critique of scientism. The political individualism shows complementarities between epistemological arguments and general liberal postulates. Finally is Hayek's position confronted with Karl Popper. Here we discuss their partial differences and agreements.

Irrationality in the decision- making of an individual as an economic entity in the territory of the Czech Republic
Böhm, Tomáš ; Zeman, Martin (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The main objective of this thesis is an in-depth analysis of the decision-making process on issues of economic nature for individuals in the Czech Republic. The degree of rationality occurring in consumer behavior is evaluated based on lessons learned. The theoretical section is concerned with the economic aspect of the decision-making process, which mainly includes knowledge of neoclassical theory, whose basis is the cardinal and ordinal concept of utility maximization. Subsequently there are introduced the alternative approaches to decision making, focusing on the subjective aspects of human reasoning. Using the mutual synthesis of these approaches, the author draws a term behavioral economics, specific elements of which constitute a substantive content of the whole work. The practical section verifies the hypothesis that the decision-making contradicts the theory of rational individual conduct. Data collected through the questionnaire is subjected to analytical procedures by which the stated hypothesis was verified.

Theology of music
NOSKOVÁ, Blanka
This thesis deals with relationship of music and theology. It stems from history of development of the philosophic judgement on the notion of ?musica? in antiquity as well as from the contemporary conceptions and definitions of music. Subsequently it proceeds to the presentation of selected writings of both historical and contemporary theologists? dealing with the subject of the art of music. Based on their analysis this thesis comes to the conclusion that a relationship between theology and music indeed exists and their dialog mutually enriches both of these disciplines. Music transcends the limited capabilities of speech and with its own instruments it speaks about the infinite God. This central thought at which the thesis arrives, is concretely documented in musical activities and pieces of work by selected composers of classical music.

Holub, Štěpán ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Pechar, Jiří (referee) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
The Relationship between Theoretical and Practical Lives in H. Arendt and Aristotle The first part of the work deals with the relationship between thinking, philosophy and political action in Hannah Arendt.

The second part is devoted to Aristotle and his position within Arendťs work. It assesses the extent to which Arendt justly ranks among neoaristotelians. Some aspects of Aristotle's philosophy are studied as for their usability within Arendtian approach to politics, as well as for their contribution to the formulation of the ideals of theoretical and practical li ves. In particular, the analysis concerns the Nicomachean Ethics (including reflections on its coherence) and some parts of the Politics. The focus i s on the concept of TÉAos and on the connection between concepts of rrpo~ts and ' I EVEPYEICX.

Legal and Economic Analysis of the European Monetary Union
Kusko, Dušan ; Novotný, Petr (referee) ; Vondráčková, Pavlína (referee)
90 důsledkem pro českou centrální banku bude přechod pravomocí v oblasti měnové politiky, emisní a devizové činnosti na Evropskou centrální banku. Občané vstup do eurozóny zaregistrují zejména se zavedením jednotné měny euro a současným stahováním "starých" platidel z oběhu. Časový horizont vstupu ČR do eurozóny není vůbec jistý. Tato nejistota se zvyšuje současnou politickou situací panující v ČR a zejména trvající celosvětovou finanční krizí. Všechny časové odhady se v této době rovnají velkým spekulacím. Resumé I choose the issue of the European Monetary Union with an emphasis on the European Central Bank as the theme of this work. The ECB plays in this group a key role. The euro area is a very important concept for the Czech Republic particularly in relation to our future membership. At the same time, young European currency, the euro became the monitored unit because of the current financial crisis. The aim of my effort is to analyze the current action, activity and possible evolution of the euro area in the context of the history of European monetary integration. An initial introductory chapter is followed by the word of the general characteristics of institutions of monetary union with some of its examples. I continue with the basic description of the European Monetary Union. The third chapter...
