Western moral and political theorists have recently devoted considerable attention to the perceived victimisation of women by non-western cultures. In this paper, the author argues that conceiving injustice to poor women in poor countries primarily as a matter of their oppression by illiberal cultures presents an understanding of their situation that is crucially incomplete. This incomplete understanding distorts Western theorists’ comprehension of our moral relationship to women elsewhere in the world and so of our theoretical task. It also impoverishes our assumptions about the intercultural dialogue necessary to promote global justice for women., Alison M. Jaggar, and Anglické resumé
Influenza is a highly contagious viral di - sease of the respiratory tract. Influenza viruses infect humans as well as animals, especially birds and pigs. Over the last ten years, molecular biology methods have enabled us to explain the extraordinary mortality of the „Spanish flu“ epidemic of 1918 and other major pandemics of the 20th century. Although the so-called „pig flu“ epidemic of 2009 caused by the H1N1 virus had less grave consequences than expected, the danger of another flu pande - mic remains very serious. and Jan Konvalinka, Ladislav Machala.
This polemical reflection critically investigates the likewise polemical article by Ladislav Hohoš, published in the Filosofický časopis, No.5/2013: “Is social critique exclusively a question of neo-Marxism?”. This piece was itself responding to my polemical study “Social criticism as a problem of neo-Marxism” (Filosofický časopis, No.2/2013). I take Hohoš’s main objections against my polemic in turn, and I reply to them. To this end, I focus on Hohoš’ reproduction, and partial reinterpretation, of Marx’s ideological doctrine of historical materialism, on the basis of which he presents his standpoint. In my polemic I point to the overall unsustainability of his objections, demonstrating the unsustainability of the foundations of Marxist doctrine itself., Miloslav Bednář., and Obsahuje poznámky a bibliografii
Epilepsie je složité neurologické onemocnění s mnoha projevy, jímž v České republice trpí na 80 tisíc lidí; v celosvětovém měřítku se toto číslo pohybuje kolem neuvěřitelných 50 milionů. V řadě případů je příčina neznámá. Pacienty však netrápí jen sama choroba a její příznaky - což nemusí být pouze záchvaty, ale také další projevy včetně úzkostí, deprese, poruch paměti, pozornosti, chování atd. Život jim ztěžuje též určitá stigmatizace, jelikož společnost stále ještě vnímá toto onemocnění značně nepříznivě. and Jana Olivová.
The paper explores the close connection between social work and feminist movement and theory. He tradition and history of social work are incomplete without social workers - women activists. he aim of the paper is to examine the historical context of the professionalization of social work in close connection with the irst wave of feminism, and to interrogate positions which refuse feminist approaches in social work as marginal, ideological - not objective, or curious and even dangerous, improper. Women’s movement is one of the sources of development and professionalization of social work. Political and social activism of many outstanding women - “Mothers“ of social work - was an integral part of their professional career. his aspect of their lives is, however, all too often “forgotten“ in textbooks. he importance of pride, roots and the tradition is a fundamental aspect for every social work graduate and practitioner, especially as the status of social work in society has been falling., Monika Bosá., Poznámky, Obsahuje bibliografii, and Abstrakt a klíčová slova anglicky
