The Ground of the World: A Marginal Problem in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit
Matějčková, Tereza ; Karásek, Jindřich (advisor) ; Gutschmidt, Holger (referee) ; Kuneš, Jan (referee)
Is there a world in G. W. F. Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit? This is the central question my doctoral thesis aims to address. Both scholars and philosophers alike tend to consider Hegel a thinker who, having formulated the philosophy of absolute spirit, has surrendered the world. Despite this suspicion, the consciousness finds itself at nearly every level of Hegel's oeuvre in a place called "the world". At every stage, the world changes its shape - along with the consciousness - but its function seems to remain the same. The world is a conception of totality; thus, the world is an object of the consciousness that, by definition, surpasses the consciousness and thus reveals its limits. This moment of a "worldly" estrangement is especially pronounced as the consciousness sets itself into action. One of the most recurring motives in Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit is the inability of the consciousness to realize its intentions as planned. The consciousness fails to recognize itself in the deed, and thus devises strategies to distance itself from the deed. In my interpretation, this testifies that the deed is the door to the world, and obviously this world is not one that would be in the power of the consciousness. Instead, it is the consciousness that needs to subordinate itself to the deed...

Russia`s World Trade Organization entrance
Koláček, Ondřej ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Parízek, Michal (referee)
Why have Russia been accessing the World Trade Organization for 19 years? What were the main preconditions for hard negotiation, that took almost two full decades? The diploma thesis is written as a case study, analysing Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization from the economical point of view and political aspects of the negotiations. The data about new members after 1995 of the organization are used to verify the hypothesis. ! First part of the thesis is the analysis of the rules of the World Trade Organization for new members acceptance. The rules and processes strongly influence the final outcome of the negotiation. The economic indicators which are not set, the right of each member to veto and the operations of the working group on both bilateral and multilateral level are crucial. ! The second part is focused on the Russian accession to the organization itself. First is (being) researched the impact of applicant's economical influence based on the GDP. According to data about 30 applicants, which entered the World Trade Organization, there is no straight relation to the lenght of the process. Then the nine Schelling's categories of the negotiations were analysed. The most important is the continuos negotiation, defined as a parallel negotiation or a conflict between an applicant...

Schelling's idea of the Absolute and Fall in his Philosophie und Religion
Vilímek, Jan ; Karásek, Jindřich (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
The work deals with concepts of the Absolute and the Fall in Schelling's writing "Philosophy and Religion", written in 1804. The idea of the absolute, as we can find it in author's previous text "Bruno, or On the Nature and the Divine Principle of Things" (1802) is briefly characterised in the first chapter. In this phase of thought Schelling deals with the problematics of emanation of finite things from the absolute. It turns out, that the identity philosophy does not provide adequate means to master it. The possible way-out can be seen in his decision to enrich the existing concept of the identity philosophy by the freedom phenomenon. Kant's conception of radical evil in human nature is analysed in great detail in the second chapter. After development of the idea of absolute and fall it is obvious, that Schelling got inspired here mainly by the conception of intelligible act as founding atemporal act of freedom. The intelligible act is grasped not only as self-determination of finite human will, but as a condition of existence of an un-absolute, empirically realistically differentiated world of finite ratios and structures. We can see the transfer of concepts, which originally served to description of moral principles of human action to the ontology domain. The third chapter deals with the structure of...
