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.

Antiquity in the Inscriptive Culture of the Czech Lands
Kepartová, Jana
2014 - Czech
Author informs of the database that will contain inscriptions from the Czech lands that have something to do with antiquity. The aim of this longterm project is to gradually document and analyse the heritage of antiquity in the epigraphic culture of the Czech Lands from the first inscriptive documents to the present, regardless of whether or not the heritage is conscious or unconscious. The outcome of the entire project will be studies on 'Nachleben / the second life' of the ancient world in inscriptions in the Czech Lands, i.e. an area to which insufficient attention has been paid so far. Only in this phase of the project will the ways that antiquity had been getting into Czech inscriptions be studied. This second life of antiquity in our country will be confronted with the heritage of antiquity in the epigraphic culture of other Central European countries. Autorka informuje o elektronické databázi, která bude obsahovat nápisy z českých zemí, jež mají něco společného s antikou. Cílem dlouhodobého projektu Antika v nápisné kultuře českých zemí je postupně zdokumentovat a analyzovat antické dědictví v epigrafické kultuře českých zemí od prvních nápisných dokumentů až do současnosti. Nehraje přitom roli, zda je tento odkaz vědomý či nevědomý. Výsledkem celého projektu budou studie o 'druhém životě' antického světa v nápisech českého prostředí, tedy v oblasti, které dosud nebylo věnováno dostatek pozornosti. Teprve v této fázi projektu budou zkoumány cesty, jakými se antika do našich nápisů dostávala. Tento druhý život antiky u nás bude konfrontován s dědictvím antiky v epigrafické kultuře dalších středoevropských zemí.
