Reason, History, Tradition. On Gadamer's Theory of Understanding
Raška, Štěpán ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
This master thesis aims to present an interpretation of Gadamer's theory of understanding. My interpretation gives an accent firstly on the motive of historicity of all understandings and at the same time her "prejudiceness" (understanding is always associated with some preconditions and it must be understood as circle). Secondly I will stress the Gadamer's concept of tradition. I will explain the tradition just as the immanent structure of historical understanding. In the second part of my text, I will formulate two problems, which are closely related to the Gadamer's theory of understanding. I consider these problems by Gadamer himself as unresolved. These are the problems of freedom on the one hand and the problem of responsibility on the other. In this part of my thesis, I will consider some objections to Gadamer's theory of understanding as well (for example Jürgen Habermas'). In conclusion I will try to take my own position especially to these two problems.
Patočka's Post-War Phenomenology of Human Being
Raška, Štěpán ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Švec, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to present an interpretation of Patočka's post-war phenomenology of human being. It deals mainly with the Patočka's work Eternity and Historicity from 1947 and try to propose a complex interpretation of Patočka's conception of human being that is a main topic of this work. On the one hand it tries to show that Patočka's concept is being formed in the discussion with other philosophers and is strongly influenced from the other concepts. Especially from Husserl, Heidegger and Sartre. On the other hand, it points on the fact, that Patočka brings something original as well. My interpretation gives an accent on the motives of "dialectics of negative affection" and "historicity" of human being. These are two main points to see how Patočka understands the man. First and foremost, aims my bachelor thesis to present Patočka's antropology as subjectivistic and existentional. Because Patočka frame his antropology as a specific ethics, deals my text with relevance of Patočka's concept for a moral philosophy as well.
