The paper examines issues of liability of one spouse for obligations made by another if between them there exists a statutory community of property. The first part explains the basic issues involved in a statutory community of property between spouses and common asset management, while the second part focuses on obligations made by only one spouse, and the attendant legal, economic and financial implications.

The work tends to point out the deficiency of some opinions claiming simplified presentation of the promise as the act that directly raises obligation for the promisor. Promises, either in the moral or legal sphere, are based on communication and so form an order of dependent steps that indicates their procedural nature. These characteristics may differ to a lesser extent, depending on the legal systems, moral norms of the society and its technical level and its needs. In all these cases, how-ever, the procedural characteristics of promises, especially in conditional promises, as well as the promises in contractual relations, persist. In our analysis we wish to show that the consistent conception of promise has to take into account a step of acceptance. The outcome of this approach relativizes a strong distinction between promise and offer.

The subject of the thesis is the institution of a metropoly (a church district) and the authority governing the metropolitan territorial unit in the historical and legal perspective. After presenting the genesis and beginnings of forming of the metropoly in ancient times, the author describes its further, dynamic development in medieval decretals. Next, the author focuses on a reform carried out by the Trent Council (1545-1563) and analyses its reformation decretals. In the following part of the thesis the author discusses relevant provisions of the Canon Law of 1917. Finally, he reviews the directive of the Council of Vatican II (1962-1965) and provisions of the Canon Law of 1983, in which previous provi-sions have been largely simplii ed. Documents of the Holy See issued while this Canonic Law was in force (Exhortation of John Paul II Pastores gregis of 16 October 2003 and documents of the Directory of Congregation for Bishops Apostolorum successores of 22 February 2004) have also been considered.Having analysed provisions of the Canon Law of 1983 and the above successive documents regarding the metropoly and the oi ce of the metropolitan bishop over the ages, on one hand, a i delity to centuries-old tradition can be observed, but on the other hand, perceiving the institution of the metropoly in a more pastoral perspective meeting requirements of modern times.

The aim of the paper is to compare and contrast modern enlightenment and resulting liberalistic understanding of man and freedom from the position of existential personalism. This includes „the primacy of the person“ and „the freedom of the spirit“ as constituted in the Berdyaev philosophical context. Berdyaev realizes that the issue of freedom of conscience and religious freedom is difficult and painful, and usually poorly formulated. His most fundamental objection to liberalism – indifferent to religion – is that he understands the issue of freedom of religion and conscience as some formal right, one of many human rights. In contrast, the ecclesiastical world, which maintains faith, often slips into the denial of freedom of conscience and religious freedom, is afraid. It can be said that everyone is actually placing this question onto political, formal and external levels. The study points out that liberalism fail to justify the liberation of man, and that the lack of the material basis of freedom ultimately leads to the denial of freedom and of man himself. The input of personalism in this subject is topical, since freedom justifies the synthesis of theonomy and autonomy that is God-human like.

Existentialists were commonly accused of spreading pessimism and nihilism. Those accusations were unjustified and harmful, says the author. They also betray a misunderstanding on the part of the critics. Sartre did not attempt to abolish ethics, but he undertook to create one that would not be constrained by structures of naturalism and supra-naturalism. Human obligations could neither be found in an empirical study of nature, nor in metaphysics, he thought. Our obligations do not arise from our human condition any more than from some theoretical preconceptions about supreme, absolute values. Human ethics can only be grounded in transcendental ontology, said Sartre, as a human response to the world that is susceptible to evaluation but contains no values in itself. It is out task to endow it with meanings.

The aim of the article is to present the role played by the will in human action in the accounts of Thomas Aquinas and John Buridan. The achievements of contemporary analytic philosophy are the context for considering medieval theories of action. First, I focus on second-order volitions whose objects are desires (John Buridan and Harry Frankfurt). Next, I present the modifications of this theory carried out by Thomas Aquinas and Lawrence A. Blum. They agree in postulating some kind of self-cognition as the source of second-order volitions; however, it would seem that Aquinas, who argues for placing the source of such acts in obligation (God’s principles), offers a significant improvement on Blum’s account.

The article is devoted to the legal issues of the exercise of the intellectual property rights. The author distinguishes two possible cases of the exercise of these rights in accordance with the recent Czech law. One of them is granting consent to use some protected values. This situation is a circumstance precluding unlawfulness. The second case involves a licensing agreement conferring obligation between the parties. The author presents the legal grounds for the fact that in many cases, which are known from the contemporary knowledge and information society, it is only the consent which has the legal reason.
