The present study focuses on the analysis of the changes of Franz Kafka's reception in the Czech context before World War II, i. e. on the analysis of Czech translations and critical reflections in Czech language of his works. The study is divided into two symmetrical (in time) parts: the first one focuses on Kafka's reception in his lifetime (1909-1922), the second one on the reception after his death (1924-1939). In the first part, translations of Kafka's office publications are analyzed in the context of their origin, Kafka's part (as an author) in the formation of the original texts as a source for their translation and set in the context of his belletristic works; in the prosopographically oriented analysis the aim is further focused on the reception of Kafka's belletristic texts in his lifetime and on different strategies of translation by authors who translated his texts into Czech during his lifetime (Milena Jesenská, Milena Illová, Jaroslav Dohnal), Kafka's responses and how they are reflected in his work. The analysis in the second part is structured mainly according to the tendencies of reception whose focus shifts gradually from expressionist to surrealistic interpretations; the analysis of gradual changes of Kafka's image in the Czech press which reflects the changing reception of his...

Summary: Kritika monismu v díle Karla Statečného The Critique of Monism in the Work of Karel Statečný Michal Vejvoda The dissertation, ''The Critique of Monism in the work of Karel Statečný'', has led to a systematic point view on the issue of monism and its outline in Karel Statečný's work. It was found out, that Karel Statečný discerned a danger in this point of view, not only for the Church and the Christianity, but also for the whole society. The biggest danger of the monistic teaching lies in the fact, that the monistic principle is based on human nature. Karel Statečný realizes, that monistic tendency is deeply rooted in human nature, and thus is also objectively correct. With regards to Karel Statečný's analysis on monistic teaching, was discerned its danger to human religious sentiments, particularly in ethics: emptying of religion, in the case of removing of the element the personal God. Further on was found out, that monistical issues elaborated by Karel Statečný, speaks also today, because this monistic tendency is natural to human thinking. Pantheism - a belief in impersonal God, is also widespread, and this have a connection with spiritual instability and empty ethics. Therefore, the study of former monistic endeavors, may be useful to contemporary theology, theological philosophy and ethics....

Bakalauro darbo tyrimo objektas – Antano Vienuolio smulkioji proza. Analizuojami tokie kūriniai: „Grįžo“ (1908), „Išdukterė“ (1945), „Astronomas Šmukštaras“ (1950), „Samdinė Alena“ (1953), „Vėžys“. Paskutiniajame skyriuje remiamasi ir kitų kūrinių ištraukomis: „Vėlinių vakarą“ (1937), „Užkeiktieji vienuoliai“ (1943 – 1947), „Kruvinoji keršto uola“ (1906). Šio darbo tiriamoji problema ir akstinas tyrimui yra tai, kad daugiausiai Antano Vienuolio kūryba daugiausiai nagrinėta sovietiniu laikotarpiu. Verta pastebėti, kad sovietinė kritika iškelia svarbių tyrimo aspektų, rimtų įžvalgų ir nagrinėjimo vertų klausimų. Tačiau didelė dalis sovietinės kritikos yra jau pasenusi, nebeatitinka šių dienų aktualijų. Kita priežastis – tai trijų dešimtmečių pakeistas požiūris į aptariamojo autoriaus kūrybą. Antano Vienuolio kūryboje pastebimi nauji rakursai, naujos problemos. Todėl yra poreikis nagrinėti autoriaus kūrybą nauju žvilgsniu, gilinantis į patį tekstą, būnant nevaržomam sovietinių kanonų. Analizuojant ir interpretuojant kūrinius pasitelkiamas aprašomasis metodas. Tyrimo tikslas – ištirti jauno ir seno žmogaus vaizdavimą Antano Vienuolio smulkiojoje prozoje. Uždaviniai: išsiaiškinti, kaip vaizduojama jaunystės ir senatvės priešybė nagrinėtoje autoriaus kūryboje, išskirti jauno ir seno žmogaus vaizdavimo panašumus ir skirtumus ir nusakyti pasakotojo funkcijas bei pasakojimo skirtumus, pagal pasakotojo amžių. Įsigilinant į Antano Vienuolio tekstus rasta naujos tyrimo medžiagos:... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The object of bachelor thesis analysis – Antanas Vienuolis small prose. There are analysys of texts: „Grįžo“ (1908), „Išdukterė“ (1945), „Astronomas Šmukštaras“ (1950), „Samdinė Alena“ (1953), „Vėžys“. Paskutiniajame skyriuje remiamasi ir kitų kūrinių ištraukomis: „Vėlinių vakarą“ (1937), „Užkeiktieji vienuoliai“ (1943 – 1947), „Kruvinoji keršto uola“ (1906). The problem of analysis is that the most Antanas Vienuolis prose were studying on soviet period. Soviet critics noticed important aspects, major insight and worthy of research questions. But most of soviet criticism are allready aged and are not topical. The other reason – there is a new position to authors prose changed by three decades. There are noted new angles, new problematic in Antanas Vienuolis works. It is important to analyse authors prose by new look, to go to the text, being independent from soviet canons. There are used tyrimo methods like analysis, interpretation and descriptive. The aim of bachelor thesis – to explore young and the old man representation in Antanas Vienuolis small prose. Tasks: explore how youth and old age portrayed opposite in author‘s works. Distinguish young and old man differences and similarities, describe the functions of the narrator under his age. The focus on Antanas Vienuolis texts were found in the new study materials: observed the changing role of the author, works of poetry and the semantic relationship, new interpretations of characters pictures. It is noticed that... [to full text]

This thesis argues the need for a critique of foundational values which are often taken to be unquestionable. Values and evaluations inform the decision-making of human individuals on a daily basis on all possible levels – the local, the national, the international, and the global. Yet for all the importance of values, their origin, functioning and effects are rarely brought to light. This paper opposes critique as a creative and genealogical endeavour against shallow conformist analyses that serve the established status quo. With the aid of Nietzsche’s philosophy, in its first part this paper establishes an outline of how a proper critique would look. The proposed method of critique – a transvaluation which seeks to determine the origin of values in order to interpret them in a novel and more affirmative fashion – is then applied via the philosophy of Spinoza in the second part of the thesis wherein the origin of values is questioned. The third part employs the philosophy of Badiou both to bring back the critique to a more modern footing and to juxtapose Badiou to Spinozist and Nietzschean transvaluations. This part also paves the way for a concluding comparative section where the key features of the three philosophers are contrasted regarding the foundational values which where perpetually criticized throughout the thesis. The overall purpose of the paper is to explore the possibility of an alternative method of critique to the seemingly dominant modern opposition...

Vertybės ir vertinimai veikia žmonių sprendimus kiekvieną dieną visais įmanomais lygmenimis – vietiniu, nacionaliniu, tarptautiniu ir globaliu. Tačiau nepaisant vertybių svarbos, jų kilmė, veikimas ir poveikiai yra retai nuodugniai svarstomi. Šiame magistriniame darbe kritika kaip kūrybinė ir genealoginė veikla yra oponuojama paviršutiniškai ir konformistiškai analizei, kuri tarnauja dominuojančioms galioms. Su Nietzsche filosofijos pagalba, pirmoji šio darbo dalis apibrėžia kaip turėtų atrodyti tikra kritika. Siūlomas kritikos metodas – pervertinimas, kuris siekia nustatyti vertybių kilmę tam, kad interpretuotų jas nauju ir labiau teigiamu būdu – yra taikomas su Spinozos filosofija antrojoje dalyje, kurioje keliamas klausimas apie vertybių kilmę. Trečioji dalis naudojasi Badiou filosofija tam, kad grąžintų kritiką į šių dienų laikus ir supriešintų pastarąjį su Spinozos ir Nietzsche pervertinimais. Ši dalis taipogi paruošia dirvą apibendrinamai lyginamajai daliai, kurioje apžvelgiamos pagrindinės trijų filosofų nuostatos apie pamatines vertybes, kurios kritikuojamos viso darbo metu. Bendras šio darbo tikslas yra išbandyti alternatyvaus kritikos metodo galimybes: dabartinė situacija atrodo tokia, kur būtina rinktis tarp radikalaus nepasitenkinimo viskuo, arba tarp radikalaus konformizmo. Šių ekstremalumų alternatyva būtų pervertinanti kritika, užsiimanti... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

<p>Problem kritike u Hegelovoj filozofiji je izdvojen između drugih važnih tema njegove filozofije kao &scaron;to je odnos konačnog mi&scaron;ljenja i apsoluta, problem početka u filozofiji, princip subjektivnosti, promena tradicionalnog razumevanja dijalektike i zadatka filozofskog mi&scaron;ljenja, odnos teorije i prakse itd. Egzegeza problema kritike pruža mogućnost uspostavljanja primerene perspektive tumačenja navedenih problema. Onako kako je eksplicitno, ali i implicitno postavljen u Hegelovoj filozofiji, problem kritike je misaoni motiv koji sam vodi eksplikaciji navedenih tema. Ukazivanje na kontinuitet i diskontinuitet u vezi sa problematizovanjem filozofske kritike omogućava procenu Hegelovog temeljnog stava o prirodi i zadatku filozofskog mi&scaron;ljenja uop&scaron;te. Ova dinamika obeležava i uslovljava sva misaona kretanja u njegovoj filozofiji.<br />Rad polazi od prikaza filozofskog poimanja su&scaron;tine i funkcije kritike onako kako je to formulisano u Kantovoj filozofiji. Zatim, istražuju se podsticaji koji su doveli do temeljne transformacije pojma kritike kod Fihtea i &Scaron;elinga, &scaron;to je u osnovi istraživanje izvora, pretpostavki i podsticaja za oblikovanje Hegelovog razumevanja kritike. Na tom putu stoji zadatak ispitivanja međusobne uslovljenosti Hegelovog shvatanja smisla i ciljeva filozofije i smisla i funkcije filozofske kritike. Ovaj zadatak je proveden detaljnim istraživanjem onih spisa koji pripadaju jenskom periodu Hegelovog filozofskog razvoja, ali i sadržaja i organizacione strukture Fenomenologije duha. Pri tome, temeljan interpretativni smer je pratio proces Hegelove transformacije kritike, koji je zasnovan na njegovim prigovorima protiv osnovnih namera Kantove Kritike čistog uma i stanovi&scaron;ta subjektivističke filozofije uop&scaron;te. Konkretna tekstualna analiza je, pre svega, utvrdila koji su negativni i pozitivni aspekti Hegelove kritike kao filozofske procedure. Zatim, odredila je način na koji se kritika odnosi spram pojmovnog para refleksije i spekulacije, te koje su granice asimilacije kritike u dijalektičku metodu. Konačno, prikazala u jednoj koherentnoj celini zadatke pred koje Hegel stavlja kritičko i filozofsko mi&scaron;ljenje u različitim filozofskim predmetnim područjima. Tako je kontinuitet problemskog statusa filozofske kritike potvrđen u kontekstu Hegelove filozofije prava i filozofije povesti.<br />Nevena Jevtić Problem kritike kod Hegela Ovo istraživanje kritike kao problema u Hegelovoj filozofiji doprinosi utvrđivanju epohalnog kulturnog značaja njegove filozofije uop&scaron;te, uspostavljanju integralne interpretativne perspektive pri rasvetljavanju njenog odnosa sa prethodnicima i ranim kritičarima, te dubljem povesnom razumevanju pozicije i izazova kritike u savremenoj filozofiji.</p>

The thesis concentrates on the literary and feminist articles of Pavla Moudrá, which she published in the journals Ženská revue, Ženské listy, Ženský obzor and Ženský svět. An important part of the diploma is a complete bibliography of her texts issued in these periodicals. The analysis concentrates then mainly on articles connected to literature and "the woman question". It describes the author's opinions in their relationship with the peace movement, animal welfare, the anti-alcoholic movement and spiritualism. In all of these areas, she was involved as a promoter of spiritual values, leading to the spiritual revival of mankind, and for this purpose she also subordinated her journalism. She tried to thematise particular social problems, indicative of the decline of human morality, as well as writing more general texts, more metaphorical and strongly inspired by the theosophical movement. It influenced the way she perceived literature: she valued mainly the author's intention, which should be able to offer a positive example for the reader. She considered a poet, meaning a writer and an artist in general, to be a creature standing close to God and having the ability to see more than the average person. Also, a woman was, according to Moudrá, close to God: this relationship was given by the...
