Ideology and psychoanalysis in the context of post-structurally oriented political thought
Katsaros, Denis ; Bíba, Jan (advisor) ; Barša, Pavel (referee)
The first aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the structural congruence between the discourse theory, as is formulated in the work of political philospoher Ernesto Laclau, and the Lacanian psychoanalytical discouse. Moreover, we claim that any potential attempt to remove or omit the theoretical connection with Lacanian thinking from Laclauan work is illegitimate and thwart a coherence of this work. Through this demonstration we want to reach our second aim, which is to reconstruct a theory of discourse and ideology in particular which can consistently draw upon theories of both Jacques Lacan and Ernesto Laclau. To reinforce our argumentation in context of this second aim, it turned out to be very fruitful to introduce another contemporary thinker, Slavoj Žižek, to our theoretical exposition. Joining these two aims made possible a delineation of post-structurally and at the same time psychoanalytically oriented critical political theory of ideology and society.

Concept of ideology in the work of Louis Althusser
Katsaros, Denis ; Bíba, Jan (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to reconstruct the principal features of the theory of ideology which can be found in the work of french marxist philosopher Louis Althusser. An attempt to clarify the key differences between approaches of Althusser's and that of classical marxism is also made here, although the author belongs rightfully to marxist philosophical tradition. Owing to belief in usefulness of this method, the thesis tries to enrich a traditional interpretation of Althusser's theory by using less known and less employed writings by the same author. Apart from the above mentioned goal this work also aims to describe author's original conception of the philosophical category of subject. This category is in many ways a centrepiece of the whole Althusser's theory of ideology and due to this reason the examination of his implications permeates almost entirely the work you are about to read.
