No full textC. S. Lewis: Biblical Motifs in The Chronicles of Narnia
No full textBiblijski sloj jedan je od najsnažnije prisutnih slojeva u Kronikama iz Narnije književnika i medievista C. S. Lewisa i to ponajviše na razini motiva. Nekoliko se slojeva provlači kroz svih sedam dijelova Kronika iz Narnije, a to su: Biblija, usmenoknjiževni i mitološki motivi, kršćanstvo, antika, srednjovjekovlje i kritika modernog školstva. U Kronikama se ti slojevi često preklapaju. Biblijski motivi najzastupljeniji su u Lavu, Vještici i ormaru, Čarobnjakovu nećaku i Posljednjoj bitci, a manje su prisutni u ostalim dijelovima serijala. Roman Lav, Vještica i ormar pun je poveznica s Isusovom mukom i smrću i to najviše s Evanđeljem po Marku, Čarobnjakov nećak s Knjigom Postanka, a Posljednja bitka s Otkrivenjem. Mnogi autori pokušali su bezuspješno povezati ove romane u niz, redovito preko biblijskih i kršćanskih motiva. Iako pokušaji nisu donijeli rješenje povezivanja dijelova, otkrilo se koliko je prisutan sloj srednjovjekovnih motiva. Rad je kritički utvrdio prisutnost biblijskih motiva.The biblical subtext present in The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis, a writer and medievalist, is one of the most striking and palpable subtexts in the entire series. Several subtexts are present in all seven parts of The Chronicles, including the Bible, oral tradition, mythological motifs, Christianity, antiquity, medievality, and the criticism of contemporary education. In The Chronicles these layers often overlap. Biblical motifs are most frequent in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Magician’s Nephew, and The Last Battle, and appear to a lesser extent in other parts of the saga. The novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is brimming with references to Christ’s passion and death, mostly according to the Gospel by Mark; The Magician’s Nephew correlates with the Genesis and The Last Battle with the Book of Revelation. Many authors have unsuccessfully tried to link these novels together, most often through biblical or Christian motifs. Although no firm solution to the problem exists, it has been established that medieval motifs are ubiquitously present in The Chronicles. This work analyses and confirms the presence of the biblical motifs in the saga
C. S. Lewis on the Imagination: The Influence of Owen Barfield and G. K. Chesterton
No full textC. S. Lewis (29. studenoga 1898. – 22. studenoga 1963.) poznat je po svojemu književnom, znanstvenom i apologetskom radu. Većina njegova književnoga stvaralaštva nastala je nakon njegova obraćenja, čime je došlo do promjene u svjetonazoru. Lewisova autobiografija Iznenađen radošću (Surprised by Joy, 1955) služi kao svjedočanstvo o njegovim nutarnjim previranjima. U ovome je radu cilj istaknuti dvije važne osobe koje su utjecale na Lewisovo obraćenje te time i na njegovo poimanje mašte, Owena Barfielda i Gilberta Keitha Chestertona, iako je sigurno da su oni samo istaknuti primjeri u čitavu spletu utjecaja. U raspravi s Owenom Barfieldom očituje se kako je Lewis razvijao poimanje mašte u filozofskome smislu. Barfield je raspravi pristupio s antropozofijskoga polazišta pokušavajući navesti svojega prijatelja da ga prihvati. Iako Barfield nije u tome uspio, poljuljao je Lewisov materijalistički svjetonazor. Lewis se tako morao odmaknuti od realističkoga (materijalističkoga) pristupa stvarnosti, koji za njega već dugo nije bio zadovoljavajuć. Mašta mu je bila izrazito važna, ali nije ju nikako uspio pomiriti s razumom, koji je za njega bio način na koji se dolazi do istine. Čitajući Chestertona, Lewis će uspjeti spojiti razum i maštu kao jednako vrijedna polazišta za shvaćanje svijeta i njegovo tumačenje. U ovome se radu na temelju usporedbe Lewisovih ideja i poglavlja „Luđak“ iz Pravovjerja (Orthodoxy, 1908) G. K. Chestertona uočava poticaj Chestertonova teksta da Lewis preispita svoja stajališta, da se obrati na kršćanstvo te tako maštu stavi na mjesto koje joj pripada.C. S. Lewis (November 29, 1898 – November 22, 1963) is well-known for his literary, scholarly, and apologetic contributions. The majority of his literary work was produced following his conversion to Christianity, marking a significant shift in his worldview. Lewis’s autobiography, Surprised by Joy (1955), serves as a testimony to his internal transformations. This work aims to highlight two influential figures who played a crucial role in Lewis’s conversion and his understanding of the imagination: Owen Barfield and G. K. Chesterton. Although these two figures are prominently featured, it is essential to acknowledge that they represent just a fraction of the broader spectrum of influences on Lewis. In his engagement with Owen Barfield, Lewis’s philosophical understanding of the imagination underwent significant development. Barfield approached this discussion from an anthroposophical perspective, attempting to persuade his friend to adopt this worldview. While Barfield did not succeed in this endeavor, he did manage to shake Lewis’s materialistic worldview. Consequently, Lewis had to distance himself from the realistic (materialistic) approach to reality, which he had long found unsatisfactory. The imagination held profound significance for him, but he struggled to reconcile it with reason, which he regarded as the means to attain truth. Through his readings of G. K. Chesterton, and particularly the chapter “The Maniac” from Orthodoxy (1908), Lewis succeeded in harmonizing reason and the imagination as equally valuable foundations for comprehending the world and its interpretation. This work, drawing upon a comparison between Lewis’s ideas and Chesterton’s text, highlights the motivating influence of Chesterton’s writings on Lewis in order to reevaluate his convictions, embrace Christianity, and accord the imagination its rightful place
Literary Criticism of C. S. Lewis’ Philological Work on Medieval Period
No full textC. S. Lewis javnosti je manje poznat po svom znanstvenom radu, a više po ciklusu Kronike iz Narnije. Za života je, između ostalog, napisao dva djela posvećena srednjem vijeku: Alegorija ljubavi i Odbačena slika. U ovom radu autorice će analizirati stav književnih kritičara spram spomenutih Lewisovih djela. Razvidno je da se Alegorija ljubavi istraživala i shvaćala kao znanstveno djelo o srednjemu vijeku o kojem je kritika uglavnom iskazivala negativne stavove te ono nije bilo poticajno istraživačima književnosti. S druge strane, Odbačena slika imala je uglavnom pozitivan prijem među ondašnjim kritičarima koji su u tom djelu pronašli brojne paralele s Lewisovim književnim tekstovima. U ovom radu pokazuje se da je književna kritika Lewisovim djelima o srednjovjekovlju pristupala ili kako bi ih kritizirala ili kako bi u njima tražila dodirne točke s njegovim književnim tekstovima.C. S. Lewis is best known for his book series The Chronicles of Narnia, and less so for his philological work. During his lifetime he wrote, among other things, two works dedicated to the Middle Ages: The Allegory of Love and The Discarded Image. In this paper, the authors analyse the approach of literary criticism to the mentioned Lewis’ works. The authors show, based on the analysis of literary criticism, that The Allegory of Love was researched and understood as a scientific work on the Middle Ages. It is shown that the critics mostly expressed negative attitudes about this work and that Lewis’ literary work was not interesting to the researchers. On the other hand, the other work we deal with in this paper, The Discarded Image, had a generally positive reception among critics at the time and scholars found numerous parallels with Lewis’s literary texts. This analysis shows that literary criticism approached Lewis’s works on the Middle Ages either to criticize them or to look for points that are in parallel with his literary texts

Modeling of animal groups based on individual goals
No full textTitle: Modeling of animal groups based on individual goals Author: Ema Wayan Danielová Department: Department of Macromolecular Physics Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Viktor Holubec, Ph.D. Abstract: Collective motion represents a fascinating example of self-organization in non-equilibrium systems. This work introduces and examines a modified Vicsek model of collective motion, enhanced with alignment-induced local attractive and repulsive interactions. Numerical simulations demonstrate that such a system spontaneously forms stable clusters with a characteristic size determined by the interaction radius. The results show that group cohesion can be achieved even without periodic boundary conditions and by using using finite-range interactions that are reasonable from a biological perspective. Keywords: collective motion, Vicsek model, active matter, numerical simulations, self-organization, cohesion, interaction radius, non-equilibrium systemsNázev práce: Modelování skupin zvířat na základě cílů jednotlivců Autor: Ema Wayan Danielová Katedra: Katedra makromolekulární fyziky Vedoucí bakalářské práce: doc.

Fictional persuasion, transparency, and the aim of belief
No full textIn this chapter we argue that some beliefs present a problem for the truth-aim teleological account of belief, according to which it is constitutive of belief that it is aimed at truth. We draw on empirical literature which shows that subjects form beliefs about the real world when they read fictional narratives, even when those narratives are presented as fiction, and subjects are warned that the narratives may contain falsehoods. We consider Nishi Shah’s teleologist’s dilemma and a response to it from Asbjørn Steglich-Petersen which appeals to weak truth regulation as a feature common to all belief. We argue that beliefs from fiction indicate that there is not a basic level of truth regulation common to all beliefs, and thus the teleologist’s dilemma remains.
We consider two objections to our argument. First, that the attitudes gained through reading fiction are not beliefs, and thus teleologists are not required to account for them in their theory. We respond to this concern by defending a doxastic account of the attitudes gained from fiction. Second, that these beliefs are in fact appropriately truth-aimed, insofar as readers form beliefs upon what they take to be author testimony. We respond to this concern by suggesting that the conditions under which one can form justified beliefs upon testimony are not met in the cases we discuss.
Lastly, we gesture towards a teleological account grounded in biological function, which is not vulnerable to our argument. We conclude that beliefs from fiction present a problem for the truth-aim teleological account of belief
