To put Kierkegaard and psychoanalysis together in a title seems like putting together two different and completely divergent worlds that have no common ground of intersection, standing wide apart, so that any conjunction would seem to be forced and contrived. And yet, despite the radically different context, one could disentangle a common agenda that is played out and where Freud, unwittingly no doubt, takes up a thread that was left suspended in the air by Kierkegaard. The themes that come to the fore are anamnesis and repeating. The comparison is based primarily on Freud’s Remembering, Repeating and Working-Through and Kierkegaard’s Repeating. From the author’s analysis it comes out, that Freud, if red properly, should be placed on the side of repeating.

The article presents two grasps of love - in Schopenhauer's pessimistic philosophy and Freud's psychoanalysis. A similarity between Schopenhauer's metaphysics and Freud's psychoanalysis is shown. Schopenhauer's 'will' and Freud's 'id' are almost the same, though grasped in two different manners. Just like 'id', ' will' becomes the source of misfortune, and culture with its ethical values (particularly love) can become remedy for evil and suffering. Separating 'eros' from 'agape', Schopenhauer placed sexual love as a handmaid to 'will' and considered it the source of human suffering. In this understanding, love of one's neighbor becomes liberation from suffering, but it is a seeming consolation, as such love is in fact a concealed egoism. Introducing the notion of sublimation, Freud made a passage between 'eros' and 'agape'. Love, wherever its source, in Freud's grasp assures security and thus gives happiness which is the final purpose of everyone.

Although classical psychoanalysis and its off-shoots has not brought any “theory or narration” that would become part of literary narratology, it has postulated several basic elements of “general psychoanalytic narratology” as implicit psychoanalytic theory of narration (the therapeutic function of narration, dialogic part, in-depth interpretation, the thematization of interpersonal relationships). At the same time, the article analyses how the interpretation of the dynamic (narrative) aspect of literature has contributed to the creation of psychoanalytic theory itself and the role played by the reliability or unreliability of the narrator in it.
By using lacanian notions Marxist philosopher Slavoj Žižek brings a new and creative critique of ideology in postmodern times. The author of this paper shows their usage on liberal democracy. He builds himself a retrospective image, a fantasy, how he got to this point. The liberal democracy gives him the feeling of freedom to choose. Even if he won´t participate, he has to confront himself with the superego imperative - the pressure of the societal and intersubjective demands. Which if aren´t fulfilled, he is becoming isolated from the group and feels guilty. That feeling of detachment forces him to get more involved. Because of these self-regulators, the subject is unable to identify the flaws of liberal democracy, and cannot step outside that ideology. Critique has to keep in mind that other past forms of democracy (e.g. Athenian slave democracy) have put themselves into the position of non-ideology and build on it. Žižek also works with the Freudian concept of death drive, i.e. a human capacity, which concentrates itself on the core of an ideological system holding it together.

In the children´s world, the communication runs in various forms different from those typical for the communication of the adults. Humorous verses, by means of which mainly the children of the same age communicate within the environment distant from their family background, represent special forms of contacts. Despite the long-term tradition in researching the children´s folklore, Czech ethnology remains a debtor in this field, not only in the field of basic research, but also especially in the field of interdisciplinary study. As to the formal and aesthetical standpoint, the rhythm and rhyme are primary features of children´s output, namely at the expense of all other elements. However, the motifs of individual rhymed expresses, the humour, the ratio of perceiving the vulgarity of certain words, the trust in the truth of expressions acquired at transmission among the children of the same age and especially the motivation to create the verses- all the above is significantly influenced by the age of a child. Many questions in this field can be answered by the developmental psychology and the psychoanalysis.
Historical studies of Mao Tse-tung and Maoism are mostly damning moralisations. As for Mao’s influence in philosophy, such studies are rare if not completely non-existent. By conducting a brief genealogy of Lacano-Maoism, a hybrid of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Maoist politics which emerged post-May 68 in France and whose adherents still include Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek, this article considers the extent to which this fusion of Mao and Lacan may still have implications for contemporary philosophy and related theoretical discourses. The article speculates on Mao, not as a historical figure, but as a “master signifier” in French theory of the 1960s and 1970s.
