Kolomý, Vojtěch ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
Thesis Comparison of selected Czech translations of Cervantes's Don Quixote Vojtěch Kolomý Abstract The aim of this thesis is to compare the last two translations of Cervantes's Don Quixote: the translation realised by Václav Černý in 1931 and the translation of Zdeněk Šmíd from 1952. Although the thesis focuses on the original versions of both translations, the later changed editions are taken into account too. The structure of the thesis is as follows: First, the thesis analyses Cervantes's original text with respect to the translation and after a short chapter about the first Czech translators of Don Quixote and their translations, it describes the translations of Černý and Šmíd and the circumstances of the genesis of both translations. Then, the core of this thesis is a detailed parallel comparison of certain passages from Don Quixote. In the final chapter, the findings are applied. Keywords: Don Quixote, Cervantes, translation criticism, Václav Černý, Zdeněk Šmíd

G. E. Moore: Criticism of the Metaphysical Ethics
Kolomý, Vojtěch ; Jirsa, Jakub (advisor) ; Palkoska, Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to expose the criticism of the Metaphysical Ethics that G. E. Moore presents in Chapter IV of his Principia Ethica. The core of the criticism is the so called naturalistic fallacy and therefore it is necessary to first explain what is meant by this fallacy. In the first part of the thesis it is shown that the naturalistic fallacy lies in confusing the property that we call "good" with another property that accompanies it, but is not identical with it. In the second part it is analysed what Moore means by the Metaphysical Ethics, how they include the naturalistic fallacy, what reasons led the Metaphysical Ethics into this fallacy and, generally, what influence may Metaphysics have upon the Ethics.
