Emotions in fiction
Martinková, Zuzana ; Zuska, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
The main focus of the thesis are emotional reactions to works of fiction in the process of aesthetic experience. As we are talking about emotions evoked by fictional characters and stories, it begs the question of their nature and genuineness. Following the contemporary theories of emotions (in particular those by Antonio Damasio), the thesis deals with our emotional reactions to fiction in the context of aesthetic experience. It does so by exploring important factors that are a part of the experience: imagination, identification, empathy, sympathy, simulation, and their role not only in the narrative comprehension of the fiction, but also in the deeper understanding of the nature of our emotional reactions to the works of fiction. Based on the above aspects, the thesis evaluates the nature of the emotions experienced during the reception of fiction, and it culminates with a review of the contribution of the emotional experience of fiction to the recipient. The thesis debates the emotions as an instrument for recognition and it attempts to look on the emotions as a cognitive-evaluating factor. Keywords: emotions, fiction, aesthetic experience, empathy, simulation

Environmental stress
Martínková, Zuzana ; Trnka, Radek (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Jitka (referee)
Environment, its condition and environmental factors influence human wellbeing both directly because it has direct impact on human's physical health and indirectly because it can cause stress and therefore have negative effect on wellbeing and health. Aim of this work is to find out which environmental factors and problems can cause stress and what factors, how and why, have impact on emergence of environmental stress and coping strategies. Important factors influencing environmental stress and especially coping strategies are stressor characteristics, perceived impact, coping resources, and especially perceived capability to cope with the stressor which is strongly influenced by information and experience and by behavior of others. An individual chooses passive or active coping strategy depending on these factors. Pro-environmental behavior could be one of these active coping strategies.

Three textbooks of aesthetics (Hugh Blair, Johann Joachim Eschenburg and Johann August Eberhard).
Martinková, Zuzana ; Hlobil, Tomáš (advisor) ; Dykast, Roman (referee)
The thesis examines three enlightenment textbooks of literary arts of that period, which were all published in 1783 and significantly contributed to dissemination of aesthetic ideas. Its primary aim is to determine how aesthetics, as a separate philosophical discipline, entered into these three selected textbooks of literary arts of that period, and in what ways it has influenced their interpretation. It raises a question of how the presence or absence of aesthetics influenced the concept of these texts not only as a whole, but also in developing specific theories, themes and ideas that are further compared in this thesis. It analyses the main sections of the textbooks and introduces their basic structure and specific opinions, which are then critically evaluated. The aim of the thesis is to examine the character of the interpretations and grasp the theories of particular kinds of arts depending on whether they were performed within or outside the framework of aesthetics. The presented thesis should contribute to a better understanding of the differences and similarities between German and Scottish reflections of aesthetic questions at the end of 18th century based on these three examples of textbooks.
