The thesis deals with daseinsanalysis as a psychotherapeutic direction, which is based (among other things) on philosophy. The topic is approached in the sense of caring of the soul, which has appeared in the European tradition since Plato, and it was the overlap of philosophy into psychology, that gave rise to daseinsanalysis. This thesis focuses on the interconnection of psychology and philosophy. Based on the studied literature, the work contains the basis of daseisnanalysis from phenomenology, philosophy of Martin Heidegger and psychoanalysis. The thesis deals with the reflection of the origin of daseinsanalysis in work od Ludwig Binswanger and Medard Boss, the founders of daseinsanalysis. The work of Ludwig Bisnwanger discusses the concept of freedom, love and other topics that have been taken over and persisted in daseinsanalysis. This thesis is also about Medard Boss's relationship with Martin Heidegger and his interpretation of dreams, which he focused on. Furthermore, the thesis sets out the main principles of daseinsanalysis, which have developed over the years and link them to their foundations. The main principles include being able to work with existentials, work with freedom and respect for listening and receiving. All these form a mutual relationship between the patient and the...

What is a memory? What is the past? A memory is not happening in terrain, in section or in plan. All what matters is taking place in a range of our sight. I reject a „unlimited“ surface of a drawing as well as a tyrany of a scale. Instead I start designing from details, from lost memories of an inhabitation of places. In my mind I am walking through rooms and houses, which are part of a fluid space of my memory. The time creates relationships among things, furnitur, buildings. When the layers are overlapping, peculiar moments of fusion are emerging. Forgotten objects, blinded windows, things that are laying on the same spot for decades without a „function“ just of a habit. Memories are similar to an unfocused view of a camera. Although this is not the case of romantic nostalgia but a existencial need for a continuity. The narrative of early Modernism about a rejection of either the past or a illusion of the ornament, which was replaced by a „truthfulness of a material“, later took the direction of an abstraction, optimalization and effectivity. Apart of a mass-production, norm dimensions of spaces and a prefabrication this made a paradoxical opportunity for a material’s return as a decoration and ornament. The project is happening in-between the paradoxes of a Modernism: it neither masks the present nor it rejects the past.

Goethe' s Phenomenology - Abstract The aim of this thesis was to explain the philosophical foundations and horizons of the work of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, with an emphasis on his concept of phenomenon and appearing, in which he is presented as a significant contributor to the reflection of the category of mediation in German late Enlightenment and idealistic discourse. The work showed how Goethe's (including poetic) works show some theoretically based or systematizable aspects which genealogy, reception and applicability in general the author attempts to interpret. He also interprets the philosophemes connected with Goethe's work: he puts Goethe in the contexts of the German and European thinking of the age of the Enlightenment, of its rationalist bases and of its rethinking of the nineteenth- century concepts of thought. The work shows the breadth and complexity of Goethe's spiritual resources and their creative appropriation by him, as well as the far-reaching influence of Goethe on the German philosophy already in his time (Hegel, Schelling, Schopenhauer, etc.). He tries to overcome the stereotypes or shortcomings he finds in several previous interpretations, discussing first the philosophical literature about Goethe. In systematic and historical contexts, he represents Goethe confrontations with the...

The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse the Heidegger's daseinsanalysis. I focus in particular on a description of its roots and basics, that it originates from. Furthemore I refer to its philosophical fundament and its practical application to a psychotherapy, where it helps patients to grasp their lost life balance and orientation. I choose this topic because it is related to my bachelor's thesis, that is named "Sense of life and current human" . The daseinsanalysis also discusses the position of the human in the world and his being and searching of the life's meaning. In the contemporary global world full of disagreements and conflicts and the hectic pace of modern life, more and more people deal with the psychological or neurotic problems, more and more people search for their place in the world. Thanks to their inability to deal with these problems by their own strengths, they subsequently seek the help of psychologists. There the daseinsanalysis comes into play in the form of an individual or a group therapy. I reckon Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, whose philosophical theories helped to create roots for the development of the daseinsanalysis, among the most influential representatives of the daseinsanalysis's development. Next I would like to mention Ludwig Binswanger, Medard Boss...

Japanese philosopher and ethician Watsuji Tetsurō (1889-1960) implements ethics in ontology and creates an original philosophical system on this basis. This ethical-ontological system represents a philosophical dialogue between East and West far exceeding the Japanese context. Whereas ontology in his phenomenological approach provides a direct link between the development of world cultures and the space in which these cultures have developed, his ethics overcomes the Western concept of individuality, which Watsuji perceived as destructive egoism. He unfolds a concept of ethics fundamentally based on mutual relation or betweenness (aidagara 間 柄), which relates individuals to the community and their existential environment (climate). His work Climate (Fūdo 風土) discusses the relation between individual, community and the climate as a means of understanding the complexity of the real world people live in. Whereas, on the one hand, Watsuji highlights the exclusivity of Japanese culture, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of preserving the diversity of cultures in its features. Watsuji analyses the Japanese culture in terms of its uniqueness, but also emphasizes its ability to take over new cultural patterns and adapt it. Such a "middle course" approach where cultures recognize their own...

of Ph.D. Thesis Phenomenological Conception of Space Eliška Luhanová The thesis focuses on the nature of experience which a perceiving self has with other beings and on the conditions which make such an encounter possible. It emphasises the role of the spatiality, which is seen as a defining characteristic of corporeal sensible beings. Broadly speaking, the work belongs to post-phenomenological philosophy. The Introduction summarises the main methodological principles of a phenomenological approach and presents post-phenomenology as a specific discourse which rejects the egocentrism typical of classical, especially Husserlian phenomenology. The exposition proper starts with an outline of a phenomenological theory of perception (Chapter I) and continues by offering an outline of the basic ontological characteristics of sensibly given entities, especially of their trans- empirical nature (Chapter II). The following chapter briefly treats some issues related to the nature of a phenomenal field, which is described as a structure of possible ways in which beings can manifest themselves (Chapter III). The subsequent chapters form the main core of the thesis. They deal with the spatial manner of being of entities which manifest themselves (Chapter IV) and of the self which experiences them (Chapter V). The...

The work seeks to gain an understanding of the concept of spirit in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. The objective will be met by means of Hegel's interpretation of Sophocles' Antigone and Diderot's Rameau's Nephew. In its most immediate form the spirit appears as an organically structured whole which Hegel identifies with the Greek ethical substance. Superficially this substance is conceived as a harmonious organism; in reality - as Antigone's and Creon's paradigmatic conflict shows - it is beset by inner conflicts. The once unitary and organically structured spirit decomposes into individual forms of consciousness during the Roman period and develops in further course into a subject freed from anything substantial. It is in this course of the spirit evolving into a subject that Hegel presents his interpretation of Rameau's Nephew. Rameau represents the self-negating and self-destructive spirit, who has completely identified with Antigone's and Creon's revolt and has lost the capability of accepting anything not issuing from his consciousness. The last part of the work presents the spirit as a movement seeking to encompass both of these extremes, i.e. the extreme of the substance devoid of subject as well as the extreme of subject negating the substance. In the context of the Phenomenology of...
