Masaryk's concept of modern man and history
Krčil, David ; Pelcová, Naděžda (advisor) ; Hauser, Michael (referee)
The Bachelor thesis is focused on thoughts of Tomas Garrigue Masaryk and his views on a "modern man" in relation to the events of early 20th century. The thesis analyses those views, focusing mainly on his understanding and definition of the place of the "modern man" in world and history in a confrontation with the contemporary philosophy. It also touches on Masaryk's idea of "crisis of the modern man" and the question of to what extent Masaryk himself adhered to his own ideals. For better understanding of Masaryk's thoughts the thesis starts with his life's circumstances and experiences, mainly his youth in Moravia, which is described in the first part of thesis. The following parts focus on his elaboration of the experienced topics, specifically the essence of humanity in history and in the contemporary era. The last part concerns with the contemporary era itself, which Masaryk considers to be era of crisis.

Najbrt, Tomáš ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šusta, Marek (referee) ; Slezáčková, Alena (referee)
UNIVERZITA KARLOVA EVANGELICKÁ TEOLOGICKÁ FAKULTA Dizertační práce MÝTUS JAKO PSYCHOLOGICKÝ FENOMÉN A JEHO VÝZNAM PRO MODERNÍHO ČLOVĚKA Z POHLEDU C. G. JUNGA Tomáš Najbrt Katedra religionistiky Vedoucí práce: doc. PhDr. Zdeněk Vojtíšek, Ph. D. Studijní program: Teologie Studijní obor: Historická teologie a teologie náboženství Praha 2020 Summary This work deals with three main areas: myth, human psychology and Carl Gustav Jung's personality. It deals with the contradiction between the rational evaluation of myth and its actual influence on shaping the ideas of the modern man about the world that surrounds him, and the creation of new myths in modern times. It shows the influence of myths containing archaic symbols and archetypes on the conscious and unconscious psychic processes of man and their interaction on the border of human psychology and psychology of religion. It also presents the possibilities of mythical and religious traditions for understanding the identity of modern man and his life.

Variability of cranial size and shape in modern humans
Danda, Hynek ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Bejdová, Šárka (referee)
Variability of cranial size and shape in modern humans is affected by many different factors. Neutral evolutionary processes: mutation, genetic drift and migration; sex; but also the environment in witch the individual grows andt the food it recieves are responsible for this variability. Due to ethical constrains in experiments on humans and primates is very difficult to determine to what extent is for observed differences responsible selection and what proportion generates developmental plasticity. From the climatic factors temperature most likely forms the biggest selection pressure, which is evident especially on the facial part of the skull. Another important climatic variable influencing skull shape, nasal cavity most, is humidity. Within-population diversity decreases with increasing geographic distance from putative origin of modern human expansion.
