Empty Shells. Three Tales on the Relativization of the Axiological Core of Democracy
Horák, Filip ; Franěk, Jakub (advisor) ; Salamon, Janusz (referee)
Empty Shells. Three Tales on the Relativization of the Axiological Core of Democracy - Abstract JUDr. Bc. Filip Horák The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the problem of gradual softening of the democratic political system's axiological core. Firstly, the thesis illustrates the problem via three tales narrated by Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt and Leo Strauss, who in a very similar manner critically analyzed the "axiological leap" leading to the disintegration of fundamental values and principles of democracy. Secondly, the thesis offers a new methodological approach combining empirical functional analysis of the individual values constituting democracy's axiological core (i.e. equality, liberty, justice and dignity) with a teleological approach focusing on the original purposes and functions of these values. Using functional analysis, the thesis examines possible interpretations and functions of the aforementioned values and shows that all of them evince a high degree of vagueness and ambiguity, which makes them so-called "empty shells" that can be filled with almost any content, meaning or function. This is also the main cause of the disintegration of the democracy's axiological core. Thirdly, the thesis theoretically reconstructs the original and stable axiological core using teleological approach....

Functional Analysis of Values and Axioms in Constitutional LegalArgumentation

Functional Analysis of Values and Axioms in Constitutional Legal Argumentation Abstract The present dissertation thesis deals with the use of values and axioms in constitutional legal argumentation. Its aim is to provide a theoretical and analytical framework for the study of this issue based on the functional rather than content perspective. Thus, the work focuses not on what the examined individual constitutional values, i.e., equality, freedom, justice, and dignity, mean substantively, but rather on the way in which these constructs are used in constitutional legal argumentation. This approach, in contrast to the content approach, makes it possible to look at the researched issues in a universal way, and thus leads to generalizable conclusions, independent of the specific cultural, historical, political, or ideological context of individual states or regions. Said theoretical and analytical functional framework works with three criteria (variables), namely content width, argumentative power, and applicability before courts, whereby it can classify any occurrence of any of the four analyzed constructs in constitutional legal argumentation as one of three basic or one of eleven hybrid functions. The basic functions are a) relative individual law, b) objective value, and c) source of human rights. The...

Entropy numbers
Kossaczká, Marta ; Vybíral, Jan (advisor) ; Hencl, Stanislav (referee)
In this work we study entropy numbers of linear operators. We focus on entropy numbers of identities between real finite-dimensional sequence spaces and present detailed proofs of their estimates. Then we describe relation between entropy numbers of identities between real spaces and between complex spaces, which allows us to establish similar estimates for complex spaces.

Functional Analysis of the Organization
Buštová, Martina ; Novotná, Eliška (advisor) ; Hůrková, Helena (referee)
The thesis is focused on the functional analysis of the organization. The theoretical part of the thesis is aimed at the concept of formal organizations in terms of the main sociological paradigms, with an emphasis on the structural functional paradigm and AGIL paradigm defining the four major subsystems of the organization. The research part of the thesis deals with the indentification and analysis of these subsystems. For data collection were used three research methods - questionnaire, interview and study of documents. The output is the analysis of subsystems in order to determine their functionality. On the basis of its results the socio-technical recommendations are determined for the organization.
