In the Czech Republic, there is no comprehensive special whistleblowing legislation. If the notificationis made within industrial relations, more precisely within private-law relations, then protection ofwhistleblowers as well as the ones who are notified, provides direct support especially the legislation on protectionof personal data and indirectly also the constitutional foundations of the Czech legal order. TheSupreme Court of the Czech Republic and the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic have commented,in the context of the principle of employee loyalty, on a practice which could be described as whistleblowingin the area of employment. The courts have in principle confirmed that even without an explicit legal basisit is possible in the legal order of the Czech Republic to found necessary normative basis for this practice.
The Strahov Codex (PragP 47) is usually dated as 1480, or between 1460 and 1480 (Census-Catalogue). A more precise dating for the codex’s compilation can be gained by studying the watermarks. The author presents evidence showing that the codex’s fascicles were written at different times around the end of the 1460s and he offers a new perspective on the manuscript in the light of this information. Strahov can now be seen as chronologically (and repertorially) close to the oldest fascicles of the Leopold Codex (MunBS 3154), bridging what has hitherto been a temporal gap between the two ‘youngest’ of the Trent Codices (TrentC 89 and TrentC 91).
The paper adresses the debate between Donald Davidson and W. V. O. Quine on the nature of meanings and knowledge. It is argued that Davidson´s misgivings, though interesting, are not devastating for Quine´s version of empiricism, which is not easily translateble into traditional philosophical categories, Tomáš Marvan., and Obsahuje použitou literaturu
