The issue of rationality of religious beliefs is undertaken in the paper, in the context of the relationship between faith and evolution. Certain existential autonomy of human beings and their free will can be seen as grounded in creation and evolution of the whole complex material world. This makes it possible to find answers to the following questions: How God, whose will is the law of every being, can create creatures who will follow their own will? How can He create a being totally dependent on its Creator, and yet able to love Him, and not just obey Him? A creature 'in His image and likeness', who will be God's partner, able to accept or reject God's proposals?

The aim of the paper is to critically analyse one of the many attempts to explain the origin of our morality using evolutionary theory. Specifically, this paper deals with an anthropological theory presented by Curry, Mullins and Whitehouse in which they predict existence of seven universal moral patterns. They assume that these patterns and morality as such are a biological and cultural response to a need to establish cooperation in human societies. Several weaknesses of their moral theory are pointed out with the conclusion that their theory may be able to explain why it is advantageous with respect to natural selection to prefer certain behaviour, but not why we attribute moral evaluations to a given behaviour. Therefore, their theory does not provide a reason to regard moral elements analysed in the paper as evolutionarily acquired adaptations.

Attributing tautologism to the principle of natural selection is one of the widely used arguments against the scientific status of the evolutionary theory. The paper outlines one of the common versions of this objection and offers a possible answer drawing on the structure of the principle of natural selection.

The article attempts to present the pope’s position on the theory of evolution from the point of view of the broadly conceived psychology of cognition. The pope’s main statement on evolution is that from 22th October 1996 in which he said theory of evolution is more than a hypothesis. This is a problematic statement as it has no consequences in any other of his views on the origin of man that normally follow the history contained in the Book of Genesis. An attempt is made to explain this statement in the context of the idea of self-overcoming and psycho-mental processes that are triggered by it.

Conflict among evolutionists and creationists results from the ignorance of theory of evolution and from the incomprehension of rules shaping the scientific knowledge. This incomprehension is being also related to mechanisms described by evolutionists and laws, according to which the evolution of organisms is proceeding. Both positions are not harmonious with themselves not only on the level of empirical data, but above all from methodological and epistemological point of view. They are appealing to extremely different assumptions imposing research methods and interpretation of artefacts. In addition other natural sciences in the explicit way confirm theories of evolutionists. This situation causes that theory of evolution constitutes the part of the contemporary science and the creationism lays on its periphery. It can’t be change by accusation that theory of evolution is not falsified and hasn’t prognostic power. This exclude a possibility of finding common factors of both currents and at least partial approval of competitive views.

The objective of the article is a critical analysis of some Karl R. Popper's thesis about Darwinian theory of evolution. Darwinism is the one of main subjects of Popper's later work. Popper not only used the theory of evolution in his philosophy, but he also tried to contribute something new to neo-Darwinism. The author attempts to consider which Popper's ideas connected with the theory of evolution are still relevant and actual, and which are questionable from the perspective of the modern theory of evolution.

The aim of this paper is to show the various factors that led Neo-Thomists to focus on the theory of evolution. A special interpretation of evolution was proposed that was subordinated to Neo-Thomist metaphysics. This paper shows that the theory of evolution was interesting due to its scientific, theological and sociological importance. Such issues as a new concept of species, distinct from that of Aristotle and the struggle with atheism, materialism and modernism in the Roman Catholic Church contributed to the philosophical investigation of the theory of evolution. The paper also demonstrates why Neo-Thomist interpretations of evolution were not broadly accepted by scientists.

The author’s suggestion is to abandon Titmussian paradigm of biomedical donor ship based on pure altruism and to replace it by a new ethical approach based on the reciprocity/solidarity principle. First, the relationship between altruism and reciprocity is examined. Secondly, the achievements of behavioural sciences and the theory of evolution are used in the analysis of the reciprocal altruism which is apparently the motive power of the evolution of human cooperation. Finally, the possibility of using this new conceptual framework for the objectives of biomedical donor ship is examined as well.

The present study focuses on the impact which the vast, fundamental changes in biology of the late 19th and early 20th century had in the Czech Lands. Until the WWI, there existed several distinct and often mutually contradictory theories of evolution of organisms. In the Czech Lands, this multitude of theoretical explanations was complemented by a multi-layered cultural and scientific environment, where Czech and German biology influenced each other and met at various autonomous institutions. One should also keep in mind the differences between Prague and Brno, each a local centre with its scientific traditions and independent links to both Vienna and other European universities. The main subject of this paper are the theoretical biologists who had long-term impact on Czech biological thought or influenced it directly by working here. In about 1900-1915, we witness the first clear and recognised peak in the Czech reception of evolutionism.

K VÝSKUMU SLOVENSKEJ RECEPCIE DARVINIZMU NA PRELOME 19. A 20. STOROČIA

The study deals with the reception of Darwin´s Theory of Evolution in the Slovak national movement around the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries. The reception of Darwinism is analysed as a phenomenon overhanging the framework of scientific theory and as a component of the all-European discourse, encompassing the worldview, philosophical, sociocultural and political polemics of the second half of the 19th century. The starting point of the analysis is a definition of reception as one of the forms of circulation of knowledge, including not only positive receiving of new ideas, but also their modification or denial. There was a lack of professional, scientific reception of Darwinism in Slovak publications up to the year 1918, a worldview character of reception was dominant. The authors usually did not limit themselves to factual explanation of evolutional theory and Darwin´s observations, they combined scientific facts and hypothesis with affective philosophical speculations in efforts to provide universal answers to the questions about the secrets of the origin and the essence of the existence of human beings and nature. The reception of the Slovak intelligentsia was focused on various “Darwinisms”, in which Darwin´s Theory of evolution inspired concepts like the monism of Ernst Haeckel or social Darwinism. The reception of evolutionary theory also influenced political practice and rhetoric. Instrumentalization and ideologization was an accompanying feature of the reception of Darwinian evolutionary theory throughout the European intellectual circles, including those active in the processes of national emancipation, as in the case of the Slovak intelligentsia.
