The aim of the thesis is to analyze the mutual perceptions of intercultural differences between Czechs and Germans in business negotiations. Currently, more and more international companies in the Czech republic are based on the cooperation between Czechs and Germans. Mutual cooperation between the representatives of these nations brings many positive effects, but it can also lead to misunderstandings and conflicts, mainly due to the different understanding of some aspects of foreign culture. In theoretical part, the thesis deals with concepts such as globalization, culture, nation and nationality. Furthermore, it deals with intercultural psychology and intercultural communication, which is also related to prejudices and stereotypes. At the end of the theoretical part there is a reference to the cultural dimensions and standards, international business environment and business cooperation between Czechs and Germans. The empirical part describes the semantic differential method, which was the basis for the research. In this research, Czech and German respondents, who are frequent participans in businness negotiations, were addressed.

The dissertation focuses on the theme of practical judgment (i.e. judgment related to human action) in Hannah Arendt and Hans-Georg Gadamer. Despite substantial differences in philosophical approaches, perspectives and motivation, I show that there are important areas of overlapping. I approach the problem of judgment in a systematic way, being fully aware that especially Hannah Arendt does not treat judgment systematically; what is more, a book she meant to dedicate to the problem of judging remained unwritten. The dissertation is divided into three parts. I start with the relation between judgment and rules. The second theme is judgments' validity, especially the specific kind of validity of political and moral judgments, while the third part concentrates on how judgment is related to other people and the world. I also try to evaluate the way Arendt interprets Kant's theory of aesthetic judgment as well as Gadamer's criticism of Kant. In the third part I investigate not so well known areas of Gadamer's and Arendt's philosophy such as their notion of solidarity and the way how they grasp the relation between judgment and responsibility (or responsibility of judgment, both towards one's own self and towards the world).

The thesis treats the phenomenon of pretence in the theatre. It deals with the meaning of contemporary theatre and its truthfulness, and the issue of acting/performing and the related themes of authenticity, (self)disclosure, detachment and communication. It also focuses, from the same viewpoint, on the "actors education" and the definition of the "alternative theatre". The principles of the theatre of no-pretence and esthetics of "theatrical dementia" are defined by examples of specific stage productions.

The Act No. 89/2012 Sb., the Civil code, is using a new term "relative ineffectiveness" instead of "objectionability", which was used by the Act No. 40/1964 Sb., the Civil code.
