Davidov, Tomáš ; Halík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Lyčka, Milan (referee)
In this thesis, aimed on social construction of reality, I will be mainly concentrate, besides clasical sociological pieces, on thoughts of American philosopher - Richard Rorty. For this reason, the first part will be dedicated to his most well-known works, in which the so-called turn from objectivity to solidarty, to the several influences that caused this process and to the conclusions that end in liberal irony. Especially those postmodern conclusions i would like to re-think and try to apply in the second part of this thesis on the nowadays religiosity in Europe, with emphasis on option of inter-religious dialogue between islam and the West.

Muslim Democracy in Turkey
Scholzová, Markéta ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Váňová, Ludmila (referee)
This thesis aims to analyze the transformations of concept of secularism from a long- term perspective of the formation and consolidation of Turkish republic between 1923 - 2013. Central contention is that secularism, as a social phenomenon, was originally understood as an integral part of state-led modernization project, sponsored by Turkish armed forces between 1920s and early 1980s. However since late 1980s and particularly under AKP governments (2002 - 2014) secularism - branded as Kemalism has gradually become a subject of intense conflicts and new interpretations seeking to reconcile Turkish secularist principles with new forms of public participation driven by Islamic symbols.
