Moral criticism of art in the concept of Noël Carroll and Berys Gaut
Davidová, Sára ; Stejskal, Jakub (advisor) ; Kubalík, Štěpán (referee)
In this thesis I focus on the moral criticism of art in the conception of two american aestheticians, who came to the conclusion that it is a legitimate approach in the evaluation of art. Namely, I address the conception of Noël Carroll and his concept of moderate moralism and the conception of Berys Gaut and his concept of ethicism. I present these against the background of other approaches with which it is possible to evaluate a work of art. Moral criticism is explained through the relation of aesthetic and moral values, and the relationship of art and its reception. The work focuses on the views of Carroll and Gaut on cognitive gain from art and how it is connected with considerations of morality.

Moral Responsibility of Art
Bolková, Anežka ; Stejskal, Jakub (advisor) ; Hlobil, Tomáš (referee)
In my work I survey the debate about the legitimacy of moral criticism of art, which has developed in the 1990s in the field of analytic aesthetics. In three sections, I examine three basic positions in the debate - autonomism, moralism and immoralism - which, each in its own way, answer the basic question that motivates the whole debate, namely: what is the influence of the moral value of the work on its aesthetic or artistic value. I point out that the concepts of aesthetic and artistic values are not properly defined, which is the reason why the proponents of the various positions not only cannot come to an agreement, but they also cannot agree on the point of their disagreement.
