The use of apocalyptic figures in Jan Hus' work
Cermanová, Pavlína
2015 - Czech
The study focuses on the use of apocalyptic figures in the treatises and thinking of Jan Hus. The question if Hus could be perceived as an apocalyptic oriented theologian in in the centre of attention. The originally theologically defined hermeneutic tool of critic developed gradually into a means describing the actual situation of the fight against Antichrist. The apocalyptic concept was necessarily associated with Hus' ecclesiology. Studie je zaměřena na Husovo využití apokalyptických figur, klade si rovněž otázku, zda je možno Husovo myšlení označit za apokalyptické. Z převážně teologicky definovaného hermeneutického nástroje kritiky se postupně stal prostředek burcující a popisující danou situaci jako nastávající konečný boj se silami Antikrista. Koncept apokalypticky pojmenovaného střetu byl rovněž provázán s Husovou eklesiologií.

Organization of the protest action against Hus's burning at the stake
Novotný, Robert
2015 - Czech
Based on a prosopographical analysis, the study attempts to capture the organizational context of the origin of the protest letter against Hus's burning at the stake from 2 September 1415. One of the main conclusions is that the majority of the signatories from the ranks of the lower nobility added their seals to the protest action rather from loyalty to their powerful neighbours than expressing their own confessional position. Studie se na základě prosopografické analýzy snaží o postižení organizačních souvislostí vzniku protestního dopisu proti Husovu upálení ze 2. září 1415. Na základě učiněných zjištění je možné vyslovit závěr, že většina signatářů z řad nižší šlechty připojila svoji pečeť k protestní akci spíše z loajality k mocnějším sousedům, než že by vyjadřovala vlastní konfesionální stanovisko.

Matthias Wenceslaus Steyer and 'his' exempla
Havelka, Tomáš
2015 - Czech
The Jesuit Mathias Wenceslaus Steyer belongs among most important persons of the Czech literature of the second half of the 17th Century. His Postila katolická (The Catholic Postil) is remarkable for many reasons, this article focuses attention just on the narrative level of exempla. Moreover, if we join exempla from the postil and his translation of Manni's Eternal Infernal Jail, Steyer becomes one of the most important producer of exempla of his time. The article attempts unveil some aspects of his strategy how to work with exempla. On few cases, it shows various interpretative and literary historical problems. Jezuita Matěj Václav Štajer patří mezi nejvýznamnější postavy české literatury druhé poloviny 17. století. Jeho Postila katolická je pozoruhodná z řady důvodů, jedním z nich je narativní rovina exempel. Pokud navíc spojíme exemplový plán Postily a Štajerova překladu Manniho Věčného pekelného žaláře, stane se Štajer jedním z vůbec nejvýznamnějších producentů exempel své doby. Pokusím se ozřejmit, jak s exemply pracuje, na několika případech předvedu různé interpretační a literárně historické problémy.

Consultatio as a genre of contemporary religious-political controversy and Consultatio of J. A. Comenius
Balík, Vojtěch
2015 - Czech
The Latin term consultatio (consultation) in the 16th and 17th centuries took the headlines primarily in specialized medical publications, and later in legal as well. It seems that this term then derivatively became popular in written public debate, or rather in the religious-political controversy. Formally as consultatio (often accompanied by attributes such as utilis, salubris, orthodoxa, catholica...) were presented not only serious professional works, but very often pamphlets etc. However, if Comenius decided to launch its flagship life's work just as Consultatio, he surely just referred to the traditional genre, but - as in other titles of his works - he reached into his deep sense of the word and engaged it in the service of his plan. In addition, as we know, he had before his eyes a real consultation as well, the assembly or meeting of politicians, representatives of interreligious dialogue, etc. Termín consultatio (konzultace, porada) se v 16. a 17. století ujal primárně v nadpisech odborných publikací medicínských, a nato také právních. Zdá se, že odvozeně se pak stal oblíbeným v písemně vedené veřejné debatě, či spíše v polemice v oboru nábožensko-politickém. Formálně jako consultatio (nezřídka posílená přívlastky jako utilis, salubris, orthodoxa, catholica…) byly představovány jak seriozní odborné práce, tak často i dílka téměř pamfletické úrovně. Jestliže se však J. A. Komenský rozhodl uvést své stěžejní životní dílo právě jako consultatio, jistě se tím jen nehlásil k tradičnímu žánru, ale – podobně jako i v jiných případech nadpisů svých děl – sáhl do hloubky významu toho slova a zapojil je do služby svého záměru. Navíc, jak víme, měl před očima i skutečné konzultace, shromáždění a schůze politiků, představitelů mezináboženského dialogu apod.

Political Marxism on two conceptions of democracy
Brabec, Martin
2014 - Czech
The article presents an analysis of democracy from the point of view of Political Marxism. Political Marxism is new stream in contemporary Marxism, which is based on the works of American historian Robert Brenner and the Canadian political scientist Ellen Wood. She distinguishes between two conceptions of democracy. The ancient concept of democracy grew out of a historical experience which had conferred a unique civic status on subordinate classes, creating in particular that unprecedented formation, the peasant citizen. Our contemporary concept of democracy, originating not in Athenian democracy but in European feudalism and culminating in liberal capitalism, with the major milestones, like Magna Carta and 1688, marks the ascent of the propertied classes. In this case, it is not a question of peasants liberating themselves from the political domination of their overlords but lords themselves asserting their independent powers against the claims of monarchy. Článek prezentuje analýzu demokracie z pohledu Politického marxismu. Jedná se o nový proud v současném marxismu, vycházející z prací amerického historika Roberta Brennera a kanadské politoložky Ellen Woodové, která odlišuje dvě koncepce demokracie. Antické pojetí demokracie vyrostlo z určitého historického stavu, kdy doposavad podřízené skupiny (rolníci) získaly občanský status. Naopak naše současné pojetí demokracie má své počátky nikoliv v antické demokracii, ale v evropském feudalismu. Jejími základními kameny jsou Magna Charta a rok 1688 v Anglii, které značí vzestup třídy vlastníků. V tomto případě tak nešlo o osvobození rolníků od politické nadvlády pánů. Ale o prosazení nezávislé moci pánů proti požadavkům monarchie.

Identificatory functions of the description in a fictional text
Koťátko, Petr
2014 - Czech
The author argues that descriptions used in narrative fiction typically function as incomplete descriptions of complete entities, rather than as descriptions of incomplete entities. This presupposes a specific account of fictional worlds and their inhabitants. Autor se pokouší ukázat, že popisy užívané v narativní fikci typicky fungují jako neúplné popisy úplných entit, a nikoli jako popisy neúplných entit. To předpokládá specifické pojetí fikčních světů a jejich obyvatel.

The Philosophy of Purposeless Time
Hauser, Michael
2014 - English
The article addresses the issue of leisure in the sense of ancient schole. It strives to uncover the relationship between Aristotelian concept of theoretical activity and schole as vacuity. It shows a paradoxical character of schole as purposeless time that forms condition for a meaningful activity. How, then, to restore schole as vacuity today, when colonization of time expands?

Literary modernism and the truth behind hoaxes. The symbolist conception of hoaxes between gnoseological enthusiasm and epistemological scepticism
Řezníková, Lenka
2014 - Czech
The study focuses the shifts in the representations of hoax in the Czech literature at the end of the 19th century and their epistemological context. Whereas in previous decades mystifications were particularly represented as a social practice, at the turn of the century they free itself from existing ethical standards and raise to a legitimate aesthetic and gnoseological category. This shift in the conception of hoaxes reflected the general rise in the scepticism, which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries cast doubt over illusory obviousness of empirical evidence. Despite this epistemological scepticism, however, a new conception showed some gnoseological optimism, i.e. did not exclude the possibility of gaining knowledge as such. However it postulated knowledge of a new and unempirical kind reflecting the danger of delusion. Studie analyzuje posuny v pojímání a reprezentaci mystifikací v české literatuře konce 19. století a jejich epistemologický kontext. Zatímco v předchozích dekádách byla mystifikace inscenována velmi často jako sociální praxe, na přelomu století se v tvorbě nastupující modernistické generace etablovala jako legitimní estetická a epistemologická kategorie. Tento posun v pojímání mystifikace odrážel obecný dobový skepticismus, který na přelomu století revidoval relevanci empirické evidence a postuloval alterntivní - neempirické - formy poznání, jež by důsledněji reflektovaly iluzorní povahu empirické evidence a nebezpečí klamu při zpracování tzv. fakt.
