Just one step to the man: The Relationship to the "non-human" life on the base of the works of A.Schweitzer and H. Jonas
Bernardová, Marie ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
The central theme of this thesis is the action towards "non-human life", i.e. towards the life of "people", who aren't called people in certain circumstances. The author asks, if our responsibility is limited to human beings. The definition of human being is deliberatery avoided, as it always depends on the context of its creation. The problem is looked upon from the opposite standpoint of approach to life as such. Some possible answers to the question why we should be responsible for "non-human" life as well are presented. The author analyses ethical concepts of A. Schweitzer and H. Jonas who consider life in itself, demand on our conscious and responsible actions towards life, and the existence of debt adherent to all our actions as central. The two concepts are applied to a particular field - the problem of unborn life - and they are compared to positions resulting from the definition of human being. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

A Decline in the Number of Vocations in Woman's Congregations in Czech Republic Relating to the Motivation of Newcomers
Kallová, Gabriela ; Bernard, Josef (advisor) ; Bernardová, Marie (referee)
The thesis describes motivation of candidates for religious life in apostolic active Congregations in Czech Republic, who entered a religious order or congregation after 2000. That year was significant. Since that time on religious orders in general have experienced lower number of young women entering religious life. Description of the motivation is accompanied by the look into the past and the impact of the communist regime on life and mission of women's religious orders and congregations as well as the influence on religiousness of public. The outcome of the long influence of the regime was remarkably displayed after 1989. Not only has The Velvet Revolution brought along freedom but it also brought changes in the value system and the ways of life for the society in general. My thesis considers those changes, especially when speaking about young people, because those changes could have an influence on motivation candidates for entering a religious order.
