- Description:
- The article shows the Bohemian lands in the 17th century as mediated by travelogues of English provenance, in particular travel diaries written both for personal use only and to be later published. Attention is mainly focused on the religious situation in Bohemia and Moravia and its transformation in the studied period in the context of the denomination of the English visitors. The paper further briefly describes individual travellers from England, who would come to the European continent for various reasons and would also visit the Kingdom of Bohemia as part of this trip.

3. A note on the development of the religious theme in 20th century Hindi literature

- Subject:
- Hindi literature, Hinduism, religion, and India
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- The paper deals with the different ways in which 20th century Hindi writers introduced the theme of religion into their work. A selection of authors has been made in order to highlight some important issues connected with religion. As may be expected, basically two points of view are to be found, depending on the ideological stand of the writer – either politically committed or committed to man. Thus, whilst religion is deemed by one author to be a factor which divides communities, it is considered by another to be an important tool for exploring the human soul.

5. Cheminement d’un humaniste. Kitāb al-isrā’ ilā al-maqām al-asrā dans la pensée d’Ibn ‘Arabī (1165–1241)

- Language:

- Description:
- In the article “Cheminement d’un humaniste” the author presents the results of her research on a small treatise Kitāb al-isrā’ ilā maqām al-asrā (Nigh Journey). She established a critical edition of the text in Arabic on the basis of a comparison of the limited number of manuscripts available in Dār al-Kutub al Masrīyya in Cairo. She then translated “Kitāb al-isrā’” into Polish. Kitāb al-isrā’ is one of the most important early works, written by Ibn Arabi after his great visionary experience in Fez, in 1198. It describes in rhymed prose his mystical ascension, meeting in the spiritual realities of the prophets in the seven heavens and being brought to the fullest realization of his own reality. Ibn Arabi’s ascension is a dream, a vision of a heart. These divine events determine the way forward for his ultimate role as the perfect man (insān kāmil) or the Seal of Muhammadian Sainthood.

- Description:
- In the contemporary world, characterised as it is by globalisation, the idea of nationalism has been losing its appeal. However, recent Islamic movements have evolved somewhat differently, with Islamic moral and religious fervour initially leading to Muslim "internationalism". During the 1970 and 1980s, radical political Islam became integrated to some extent into "globalising" trends, but gradually it has become more pragmatic and "nation-oriented" leading to the creation of national political movements. Muslim "internationalism" has continued to influence terrorist groups that have abandoned any reference to national roots.

- Description:
- Náboženství zůstává významným společenským fenoménem, „silou, která působí na jiné síly“, a to i ve společnosti české, která bývá občas označována za jednu z nejateističtějších na světě. Předpovědi vyplývající ze striktně pojaté teorie sekularizace se nenaplnily, a my tak můžeme vidět aktivitu tradičních církví i vznik nových náboženských směrů a společností, stejně jako přetrvávající a v některých oblastech dokonce sílící vliv náboženství v politice a veřejném životě jako celku. Z toho samozřejmě vyplývá potřeba tyto jevy sociologicky zachytit. Existuje mnoho metod a přístupů, my se však budeme zabývat pouze kvantitativními sociologickými výzkumy náboženství. V tomto textu se autor věnuje pouze náboženskému chování, a to ještě v redukci, kdy bude náboženské chováním studovat skrze návštěvnost bohoslužeb. Cílem tohoto článku je ukázat nesamozřejmost a komplikovanost spojenou s tímto tématem – jak na konceptuální úrovni, tak i na úrovni měření. V článku jsou využívána především data z výzkumných sérií European social survey (ESS), ISSP a European social survey (EVS)., This article deals with problems of religiosity research in sociology. First I c oncentrate on more general topics connected with religiosity research as is cross-country validity of survey instruments or relationship of theoretical concepts and empirical indicators in sociological surveys. Another part is about attending religious ceremonies which is one of the most significant (statistically as well as substantially) indicators in religiosity research. But despite the fact that it is behavi - oral indicator, so seemingly easy for measuring, its reliability became object of disputes in sociology of religion. I p resent data on church attendance taken from most important international survey series in sociology – ISSP, EVS and ESS. Results among these surveys are varying but despite this they are robust enough for interpretation and making cautious conclu - sions. Some possibilities for modifications of “attendance questions” based on experiences from General social survey are suggested., and Martin Vávra.

- psychospirituální krize, transpersonální psychologie, náboženství, mystika, spiritualita, New Age, spiritual emergency, transpersonal psychology, religion, mystique, and spirituality
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Transpersonální psychologie se snaží systematizovat mimořádné stavy vědomí, které jsou v jiných kulturách vysoce oceňovány, ale v kultuře západní jsou často zaměňovány s duševním onemocněním. Transpersonální psychologie proto přichází s konceptem psychospirituální krize, který má sloužit k odlišení těchto stavů od skutečných duševních nemocí. Koncept psychospirituální krize je odbornou veřejností většinou odmítán, ale jeho systematičtější kritika stále chybí. Článkem se autor pokouší věcně poukázat na problémy spojené s tímto konceptem a pomoci tak vyplnit tuto mezeru. Upozorňuje na vágnost kategorie psychospirituální krize a odhaluje řadu vnitřních rozporů transpersonalistické teorie. Poukazuje na to, že některé stavy, jež transpersonalisté označují za psychospirituální krizi, vůbec neodpovídají kritériím, která pro ni sami stanovili. Článek se též vymezuje vůči nepřijatelnému hodnotovému zatížení této kategorie. Koncept psychospirituální krize totiž vychází z konkrétních náboženských idejí. Jde přitom o ideje, které se do značné míry překrývají s idejemi hnutí New Age. V této souvislosti si stať klade otázku, zda je transpersonální psychologie vědeckou disciplínou, nebo spíše náboženským hnutím. Článek předkládá důvody, proč je třeba se přiklonit spíše k druhé možnosti. and Critical analysis of the concept of spiritual emergency Transpersonal psychology attempts to systematize extraordinary states of consciousness, which are highly appreciated by other cultures, but in the Western culture such states are often confused with a mental disorder. Therefore transpersonal psychology has created a concept of spiritual emergency, which should be used to distinguish these states of consciousness from real mental disorders. The concept of spiritual emergency is usually rejected by the experts, although there is still lack of its systematic critique. Author is trying to fill up the gap and to point out critically some problems related to this concept. He draws reader’s attention to haziness of the concept of spiritual emergency and discover range of internal contradictions of the transpersonal theory. For instance, some states considered by transpersonalists to be spiritual emergency do not comply with their own criterions. Paper also objects to its undesirable value burden. It is unsuitably value laden term, since the category is grounded in specific religious ideas. These ideas overlap with ideas of New Age movement to a large degree. In this context the author raises the question, whether transpersonal psychology is a scientific discipline or rather a crypto‑religious movement. The article proposes some arguments why it is not appropriate to regard transpersonal psychology as a scientific discipline.

- Description:
- The Czech spiritual market is today as developed as that of western European countries. De-traditionalised and individualised holistic milieu has created a demand for spiritual literature and magazines as well as other marketable goods (“magic” stones, amulets, horoscopes, natural drugs etc.). This paper attempts to analyse the character and sources of contemporary best selling spiritual literature and its readership in the Czech Republic. It also provides a case study of a Prague spiritual bookshop and its comparison with five other Czech spiritual outlets (including an Internet outlet). The results clearly show that marketing spirituality has become a mainstream phenomenon with regard to all gender, age and class categories, although there was found to be an over presence of older middle-aged women among the buyers. There is emphasized “churchless” and “nonreligious” character of the buyers and the best selling books, that include predominantly those referring to “modem” and “esoteric” western or “ethnic” spiritualities. The supply side comprises both special and general publishers, the former having been more successful in specialised bookshops and spirituál outlets and the latter in addressing the wider population (including via the Internet).

- Guatemala, the Maya, religion, anthropology of nature, ontological turn, and phenomenological anthropology
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- The so-called ontological turn, drawing largely on Viveiros de Castro´s notion of Amazonian perspectivism, has attracted considerable attention in contemporary anthropology. The proponents of ontological relativism were indeed submitted to strong criticism focusing, among other things, on the questions of obscurity, solipsism or meta-ontology. In the theoretical section of the study, I present selected themes of this approach, its merits, but also its difficulties that I try to overcome by means of present-day phenomenological anthropology. The key question - in which are the examined otherness and its apprehending grounded? - I attempt to answer through the concepts of the everyday experience and the lifeworld. In the empirical section of the study, I illustrate the theory with the ethnography of Maya perception of crosses, mountains and caves, which are considered to be living and acting beings.

13. Náboženská či existenciální hlediska: spiritualita jako „most přes rozbouřené vody“

- Subject:
- religion, spirituality, existential questions, náboženství, spiritualita, and existenciální otázky
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Při vymezování pojmu spiritualita je v psychologii náboženství možné rozlišovat čtyři směry. Zaměřují se na rozdíl mezi náboženstvím a spiritualitou, na náboženství a spiritualitu ve vztahu k posvátnu, na spiritualitu ve vztahu k „vnitřnímu životu“ a na spiritualitu v souvislosti s existenciálními otázkami. První tři výše zmíněné směry však mají následné nedostatky: hodnotící srovnávání mezi „špatným náboženstvím“ a „dobrou spiritualitou“, zahrnutí problematického a přeceňovaného konceptu a podpora karteziánského dualizmu v psychologické terminologii psychologie. Ačkoli je čtvrtý směr příznivější, narušuje některým lidem vnímání sebe sama. Zahrnutí spirituality do analytického slovníku psychologie je tudíž neuvážené. Namísto toho by mělo být zkoumáno osobní chápání náboženství a spirituality v souvislosti s tím, jak se lidé vyrovnávají s existenciálními otázkami.

- Description:
- Javorník, in the Horňácko region, is one of two villages where people still use old hymnbooks and where human piety is not a matter of mere formality. Hymnbooks, postils, bibles, catechisms and many other books that were handed down through generations can be found in numerous families. ‘Religious educational literature’, as we can call this specific type of literary production, played a very important role in the lives of ordinary people. Although they were persecuted for it, this literature had in return served and supported them in difficult times of religious, social and war oppression. this explains why people fervently shared the chronicles of their life stories inside these books. Now they bear testimony of those times.

- Language:

- Description:
- Jedním z konceptů, který udělal v rámci sociálních věd v devadesátých letech minulého století velkou kariéru, je (vedle například sociálního kapitálu) kvalita života . Nejde vlastně o jeden přesně vymezený koncept ale spíše o (velkou) rodinu navzájem propojených teorií, výzkumů a vlastně i aktuálních a navrhovaných politik. Pod titulem kvality života se provádí široké spektrum výzkumů, od studií zabývajících se životem lidí se specifickými zdravotními problémy po dotazníková šetření reprezentativní pro celé dospělé populace států [Rapley 2003]. Zdá se, že zvýšený zájem o kvalitu života je příznačný pro dobu, která vyzvedává práva jedince a zároveň buduje složité (administrativní i tržní) mechanismy pro uspokojování jeho potřeb. Kvalita života (její zkoumání, stejně jako usilování o ni) byla vlastně důležitým konceptem už od dob osvícenství, ale, jak o tom píše například Foucault [2009], až do druhé poloviny 20. století byla důležitá především kvalita života celých populací, spíše než individuí. V průběhu druhé poloviny 20. století také došlo k určitému posunu od objektivního chápání kvality života, které bylo založeno především na měření materiálních a „biologických“ ukazatelů k pojetí více subjektivnímu. Tuto subjektivní dimenzi sleduji i ve svém textu – primární pro mne jsou respondentova subjektivní hodnocení jeho situace. Studie kvality života se samozřejmě nezabývají pouze jednorozměrnou analýzou kvality, ale téměř vždy jí analyzují ve vztahu k faktorům, které mají vliv na její úroveň. Zaměřuji se zde na vztahy mezi religiozitou/spiritualitou respondenta (o tom jak ji měřit viz níže) a psychosociálními faktory, které úzce souvisí s kvalitou života chápanou objektivisticky a samy jsou tak vlastně součástí šířeji chápané kvality života., The article deals with relationship of religiosity and psycho-social phenomena (powerlessness, normlessness, social isolation, self-estrangement and cultural estrangement) which are inhibiting factor in relation to quality of life of individuals. Theoretically this article (besides general theory of subjective quality of life) is supported by Melvinem Seeman ́s concept of alienation. Personal religiosity is not measured here by individual indicator only but by plurality of indicators. In regressions socio-demographic variables are more important in explaining variability indicators of psycho-social phe - nomena but religiosity is interesting contribution in overall explanation. Among religiosity indicators frequency of church attendance has the strongest predictive ability., and Martin Vávra.

- first editions, Brno, Velká Bíteš, liturgical books, and religion
- Language:
- Czech
- Description:
- Incunables from the Konrad Stahel’s and Matthias Preinlein’s printing press located in Brno, have survived, with a couple exceptions, in a few, or single unique copies. Each new item that can enlarge our source base is therefore of a great importance for further research. This applies to the incunabulum, Psalterium Olomucense, from 1499, preserved in four specimens known to date. As research has so far been limited to mainly bibliographical recording, little do we know about their origin and readership. The focal point of this study is another extant copy of this edition, stored in the Municipal Museum in Velká Bíteš. Although it has been located there since the end of the 19th century, it has escaped the attention of researchers. This copy contains a number of commemorative records from the first half of the 16th century, which give an account of the religious life in the town of Velká Bíteš. The study offers transcriptions and interpretation of these records, paying attention to other secondary marks – drawings and readers’ notes. The study is not only a research report; it also compares the newly discovered copy with hitherto known specimens, providing bibliographical descriptions, investigating their provenance, and analysing readers’ marks. In addition to the Psalterium, the article mentions other liturgical books from Velká Bíteš (a printed missal and a manuscript gradual), which also contain commemorative records dating back to the middle of the 17th century. Among other findings besides adding a new bibliographical record of a domestic incunable, the study reveals various ways of using psalters published by Stahel’s and Preinlein’s press in Brno. Some people used psalters for purely religious purposes, while others sought to capture events of various types (family, religious, political, military, and economic ones). A thorough analysis of these publications can therefore bring interesting information for not only librarians, but also regional historians. The description of the newly discovered specimen of books printed before the 16th century can also inspire future research in various archives, libraries, museum collections, and depositories, which may lead to identification of other unique copies.

- Language:
- Czech and English
- Description:
- a1_This paper considers the influence of Enlightenment thinking on the pedagogical works of Jan Valerián Jirsík (1798-1883), who earned a place in Czech history as a priest, theologian, active patriot, education campaigner, pedagogue, writer and not least as the fourth Bishop of České Budějovice (Budweis), an office he held from 1851 until his death. Primarily, it draws on and follows up ideas in the writings of the theologian Ctirad Václav Pospíšil and the church historian Kamila Veverková, who both trace the links between Jirsík the theologist and thinkers associated with Bernard Bolzano. Jirsík’s early writings, however, are as much concerned with pedagogy as they are with theology, and the aim of this study is to discover whether his ideas on education were similarly influenced by Enlightenment thinking. It analyses his views on the subject before 1851, i.e. until he became Bishop of Budweis - specifically in the period 1826-1843, when he was much occupied with questions of education and upbringing. In his years as bishop he devoted little time to literary pursuits. The study concludes that the legacy of the Enlightenment era most certainly played an important part in Jirsík’s deliberations on education. There is, however, a certain progression discernible in his thinking. In the early period, of which Sunday School (1826) is a representative text, we see the influence of contemporary Enlightenment clerical pedagogy as he advocates extending human knowledge through reason in order to improve living conditions. Faith and religion are also factors here, especially in his emphasis on the positive role of God the Creator. In the second period under consideration (1836-43), we find closer parallels between Jirsík’s pedagogical and theological thinking., a2_Within ten years of writing Sunday School, his position had shifted from that of a priest attempting to expand or improve education in the spirit of Enlightenment ecclesiastical pedagogy to that of a theologian (and so-called ‘true’ enlightener) who from theological considerations drew conclusions for the educational process. In Jirsík’s view, Christianity and Enlightenment go hand in hand, serving to elevate human life spiritually as well as materially. For him education means the enlightenment of both soul and reason. Nor does he see any contradiction between faith and rationality. It is evident from his thinking that he was convinced of the need to implement the pedagogical ideal of the Enlightenment: to educate virtuous citizens who were also rational., Rudolf Svoboda., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy

- Description:
- Reshep is a warlike god that rules over diseases. He is the lord of fire and all heat, including that from the sun and that which can burn inside man, that is, fever. There is, however, no evidence of Reshep´s rule in the netherworld. The only argument in favor of this thesis rests on the identification of Reshep with Nergal. Yet this identification springs from their common rule over disease and not from any connection with the netherworld. This seems particularly obvious when ones takes into account that the West Semites were already acquainted with the cut of Nergal in the form of an association with the cult of Erra, the god of heat, drought, and disease.

- Language:

- Description:
- The study summarizes the work of Maurice Bloch, especially his theory of ritual and religion. Focusing on Bloch’s concepts of rebounding violence, ideology and knowledge, it is argued that the cognitive dualism does not correspond to the fact of the entirety of the human mind, a unique constellation of specific biological, natural environmental, historical, social and cultural circumstances as well as personal and experiential conditions. When dealing with some analogies of Bloch’s thought, the assumptions of Marx, Freud and Rousseau are recalled. The recognition of the eurocentric polarization also demands a mention of the Latin naturalis and supernaturalis dichotomy as well as the Greek sophistic duality of fysei and nomó. On the other hand, Bloch’s precise critique of functionalist and Marxist approaches allows moving towards deeper psychosocial processes within ritual.

- This article deals with the manuscript of a little known Baroque sermon called "Rurale Ivaniticum" from the Library of the Prague Crusaders. Its author is the forgotten Carmelite P. Ivanus a S. Ioanne Baptista. The main subject is the usefulness of the manuscript for the study of 18th century popular culture in Bohemia. The sermon by P. Ivanus a S. Ioanne Baptista was aimed almost exclusively at the lower class rural population. Hence the "Rurale ivaniticum" manuscript provides quite frequent examples of didactically intended folk sayings, as well as attacks on folk demonology and oneiromancy. It is from these parts of the manuscript that a merger of scholarly and folk culture clearly emerges.

Ioanne Baptista was aimed almost exclusively at the lower class rural population. Hence the "Rurale ivaniticum" manuscript provides quite frequent examples of didactically intended folk sayings, as well as attacks on folk demonology and oneiromancy. It is from these parts of the manuscript that a merger of scholarly and folk culture clearly emerges.

23. The religious and cultural world of Aelia Capitolina - a new perspective

- Aelia Capitolina and religion

- English
- Description:
- This article attempts to reconstruct the heathen cults which existed in Jerusalem, after the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE and especially after the foundation of the Roman colony of Aelia Capitolina on the ruins of the Jewish city, in the first half or the second century CWE. Based on all the currently available literary and archaeological sources, this area of research reveals that the pantheon of Aelia Capitolina was exclusively Graeco-Roman, as was the case with the city of Sebaste/Samaria. Those two religious centers dissociate themselves from the Palestinian paganism, in the Roman era, which was profoundly characterized by the syncretistic merger of the Greek and Roman religions with ancient Phoenician and Syrian cults.
