This paper (1) summarizes the main points of the papers in the volume which demonstrate some of the ways that academic freedom is at odds with recent conservative attacks on the professoriate; (2) argues that some of the conservative attacks from students on faculty are at base a failure to acknowledge their equal personhood, but treat them as inferior beings and thus elicit harmful psychological reactions similar to those found in victims of racist slurs; (3) examines possible solutions, including distincting on the part of faculty, and distributing the burden of crucial thinking among all faculty and college courses, thereby making academic freedom a reality for all.

The author considers arguments for theism, atheism, and agnosticism. He devotes the most attention to St. Anselm's ontological argument and to mathematized versions of it. He also takes into account various kinds of practical arguments for faith in God.

The study offers an account of Hegel's religious epistemology based on his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion. It is understood as a result of Hegel's efforts to determine the sufficient conditions, which make the knowledge of God possible. Firstly, Hegel's philosophy of religion is sketched as an investigation of the religious consciousness as well its subject, i.e. God. Secondly, the concept of Absolute Spirit is construed as a self-manifestation to specify Hegel's understanding of God. Finally, the paper shows Hegel's way to epistemological realism, which is a middle position between theological anti-realism and theological agnosticism.

The aim of the article is to systematize fundamental concepts involved in the philosophical debate on realism and idealism. In the first (historical) part distinction between appearance and reality (which has its roots in ancient philosophy) is presented as one of the sources of the modern debate on realism and idealism. In this part different interpretations of realism and idealism (Descartes, Leibniz, Berkeley, Kant, Heidegger, Moore, Carnap) are also analyzed. The second part is concerned with definitions of four fundamental oppositions: metaphysical idealism and epistemological idealism, metaphysical realism and epistemological realism. The third part discusses different forms of realism (naive realism, critical realism, scientific realism, transcendental realism and conceptual realism) and introduces the concept of antirealism. Fourth part deals with connections between realism and idealism debate and such philosophical standpoints as skepticism, agnosticism and solipsism.

This study focuses on the theological and sociological point of view of the current religious situation in the Czech Republic. Based on the understanding of the term diaspora by Rolf Zerfaß, the study also demonstrates the basic contour of the so-called pastoral of presence in the ambience of atheism, non-religiosity and religious indifferentism.

My paper presents a detailed analysis and assessment of Richard Dawkins’ epistemological theses from The God Delusion concerning the nature of religious belief, the existence of God and treating belief in God as a scientific hypothesis. In the first part of the article, I am interpreting Dawkins’ statement that atheism deserves respect as an epistemic achievement. I suggest that rationality of that assessment depends on Dawkins’ success in arguing that science shows that God does not exist. My second aim is to show that the real object of Dawkins’ attack is not some abstract theistic hypothesis, as he suggests, but the Western ethical monotheism, mainly the Christian faith in God. If I am right, then his rejection of thus interpreted theism is not enough to justify his more general thesis that God hypothesis is false or improbable. The first part of the paper prepares the ground for the second, with criticism of Dawkins’ reasoning to the conclusion that almost certainly there is no God.
