The thesis deals with the issue of the representation of the New World conquest in literature most accessible to the Czech reader, i.e. not only literature of Czech origin but also translations. The thesis contains representation of different kinds of literature and a narratological analysis of work with the selected topic. The work will point out the plurality and diversity of approaches to the topic and the individual authors who interpret the historical event through their texts. Then, with the help of comparing the individual publications, it will identify the author's possibilities to shape the reader's awareness and knowledge of the conquest but also how these can be manipulated. Diachronic comparisons will also point to changes in reception over time.

The diploma thesis deals with modern English fantasy tales for children and their role with respect to ethical context and moral mission. The first part is a general introduction to child heroes´ experience, their notion of Good and Evil and their attitude to given rules, conventions and circumstances. The practical part deals with particular interpretations of the issue, the theme of the so called other world and the concept of authority not only as a moral example but also as a tool of power and manipulation. The thesis is based on the analysis of particular stories by British authors (C.S. Lewis, P. Pullman, and J.K. Rowling), in which different points of view are shown. The summary brings final conclusions about what the stories have in common.

Ondřej Krása, Causes of the Creation of the World in Plato's Timaeus Abstract of the Thesis The aim of the thesis is to explain the causes of the creation of the world in Plato's Timaeus. The causes of the creation of the world are manifold. The Demiurge created the world according to an eternal paradigm. The paradigm of the world is an intelligible animal that encompasses everything that is eternal. The Demiurge is the best of eternal beings and created the world as an image of the entirety of eternal beings. What is then the relationship between the Demiurge, who is reason, and the entirety of eternal beings, that reason can comprehend? Timaeus characterizes the eternal being as having no other relationships than those towards itself. On the contrary, the Demiurge is a being that has constitutive relationships towards the world. The entirety of being that consists of both the Demiurge and that, which is in itself, is therefore a being in which reason relates self-contained relationships of that, which reason can comprehend, towards something else, namely becoming. The world was created in a receptacle as an embodied soul. Each body is a regular geometrical figure with no "matter" inside. Bodies are both in space and they are modifications of space. Souls are in space as well, but their being in space is...

Is there a world in G. W. F. Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit? This is the central question my doctoral thesis aims to address. Both scholars and philosophers alike tend to consider Hegel a thinker who, having formulated the philosophy of absolute spirit, has surrendered the world. Despite this suspicion, the consciousness finds itself at nearly every level of Hegel's oeuvre in a place called "the world". At every stage, the world changes its shape - along with the consciousness - but its function seems to remain the same. The world is a conception of totality; thus, the world is an object of the consciousness that, by definition, surpasses the consciousness and thus reveals its limits. This moment of a "worldly" estrangement is especially pronounced as the consciousness sets itself into action. One of the most recurring motives in Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit is the inability of the consciousness to realize its intentions as planned. The consciousness fails to recognize itself in the deed, and thus devises strategies to distance itself from the deed. In my interpretation, this testifies that the deed is the door to the world, and obviously this world is not one that would be in the power of the consciousness. Instead, it is the consciousness that needs to subordinate itself to the deed...

The main objective of the thesis is to create a draft of a SEP, which is going to be used as an exemplary for the education of ICT in primary schools and corresponding classes of grammar schools. The exemplary SEP was created in connection with a new planned FEP and according to the present trends of ICT education, based on the possibilities of the usage of modern technologies. The reworked SEP deals with the knowledge expected for students to master and the resulting learning materials, which are supposed to be taught in schools during ICT lessons or during acohered educational field Man and the World of Work. The designed SEP is based on the evaluation of SEPs acquired from nine schools of South Bohemia region. These SEPs were analysed in details. The thesis also contains aqualitative research regarding the education of ICT. It surveyed the actual content of ICT lessons in primary schools and corresponding classes of grammar schools and it also finds out if the lessons correspond to the FEP and the school´s current SEP. The designed SEP is supported with several video-recordings of ICT lessons taught by the ICT department students of Pedagogical Faculty of the University of South Bohemia. They mostly cover the education of algorithmization, programming, use of cloud tools for creating web presentations and processing of information. They also taught about the usage of avoting device for physics classes in regards to the cross-curricular themes. The thesis is created within the OP RDE of the project Development of key competences in terms of subject didactics, cross-curricular themes and interdisciplinary relations (registration number CZ.02.3.68/0.0/0.0/16_011/0000660) and with a National Institute for Education for ICT and Man and the World of Work expert consultant Mgr.
