Development of theological discourse at Dorothea Sölle
BALI, Kateřina
The presented work deals with the theological reflection of the ideas of Protestant, feminist theologian Dorothee Sölle, related to her work Mysticism and Resistance. The aim of this work is to reflect on the concepts of mysticism and resistance, while viewing mysticism and resistance in direct relation to Sölle's position within feminist liberation theology, i.e. attempting to place ideas about mysticism and resistance in the framework of her early theological thinking. With regard to Sölle's position within feminist theology, the work also deals with the question of how mysticism and resistance take on the future form of feminist liberation theology. The focus of this work, through the hermeneutic method, is mainly the reflection of the relationship between action and contemplation, standing at the core of mysticism and resistance. Against the background of Zimmerling's criticism of mysticism and resistance, primarily from the politicization of mysticism, the work tries to reflect on the relationship between mysticism and resistance, which is a relationship of radical correlation. Zimmerling's criticism seems justified in view of the focus on relationships within creation and the related transformation of man, instead of the relationship with God. In a certain respect, mysticism as resistance takes on the form of political mysticism, more precisely the mysticism of liberation. The reflection of mysticism as resistance raises questions about the "need" of the "contemplative dimension", which as a result can appear secondary. The work tries to find answers in Sölle's text, and that answer can be the reflection of aimless prayer, which is the "heart" of mysticism as resistance. Although Sölle emphasizes one aspect of the mystical relationship in particular - the transformation of man and the world, her goal is the unity of action and contemplation in in the form of the unity of mysticism and resistance. In her perspective, the relationship with God is not an isolated experience of an individual, but a reflection and at the same time a pattern of relationships within creation. Just as it does not separate action from contemplation, it does not separate the relationship between God and man and man and creation. As a result, Sölle's desire to find unity can be found in the background of this approach. It is precisely in the idea of mysticism as resistance, in the mysticism of open eyes, that the dialogical relationship of action and contemplation emerges, which is a mutual relationship. Action and contemplation are two sides of the same coin, i.e. one cannot exist without the other, and their harmony is a prerequisite (and consequence) of mysticism and resistance.

Between monologue and dialogue: An interpretation of Buber's book I and Thou
Rosolová, Daniela ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Jirsa, Jakub (referee)
This paper is devoted to a critical analysis of the book I and Thou in the attempt to identify the main points of the dialogical philosophy as presented by Martin Buber. The introductory passages present the background of the book in terms of time (the era after WWI), cultural background (the influence of Hasidism), or the history of philosophy (an opposition to immanentism, monism, idealism, transcendental philosophy etc.). The main goal of the following interpretation is to try to understand man as a person in his complex existential situation, i.e. through his potential relationships or objectifying attitudes to the world. Being is described as a dual structure either of the basic pair of words I-Thou or of the basic pair of words I-It. As opposed to the usual use of the term, dialogue is defined as a specific interaction of man and the remaining world metaphorically expressible by the structure of addressing-responding. By this scheme, the characteristic reciprocity and direct continuity is expressed. The dialogue is also placed in the area "between" I and Thou, which mediates the genuine, immediate and transcendental knowledge constituting the reality. Finally, the dialogical attitude is compared and contrasted to the monological comprehension of the world. Key words: personalism, dialogical...
