Perceiving the fragment in relation to the whole, this text looks at fragments as key points which reveal two different approaches of classification within the scope of scientific understanding: Giovanni Morelli, a 19th century scholar having a medical background studied the practice of connoisseurship within the framework of modern science. His method gives a priority to the fragments of paintings as traces of a ‘lost original’. This effort to systematize true judgement can be read in parallel to Durand’s Recueil et Parallèle des Edifices de tout Genre, a book prepared for his lectures at the École Polytechnique to make engineers acknowledged with architecture. In Durand’s ordering, the fragment reveals itself as constitutive element. While he eliminated particularities for the sake of a ‘whole’, Morelli used particularities in order to make a statement about the ‘whole’.

Convergence of text and reader: a study of textual strategies and the formation of configurative meaning in selected works of fiction Shadi, Mehran; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Literature (2018) In this study, first, the foundational developments in the domains of linguistics, philosophy of language and literary theory that have led to a transformation of the concept of the reader are reviewed closely. Then, to understand the nature of literary responses, an Interactionalist Model of Readership (IMR) is proposed to explore the two sides of the reader-text interaction and the nature of the final product of the reading act. Using various examples, the interaction between the text and the reader is, t...
Hume's moral theory as expressed in his a treatise of human nature and enquiries concerning human understanding and concerning the principles of morals Gülcan, Nur Yeliz; Ceylan, Yasin; Department of Philosophy (2007) The aim of this study is to examine Hume’s moral theory as expressed in his two main books, Treatise and Enquiry and to show the defects of this theory. Without explaining some basic doctrines such as moral motivation, moral judgment, sympathy, passions, virtues, justice e.t.c., it is not possible to understand Hume’s moral theory. To this aim, first, Hume’s moral theory is explained in detail. Next, in order to provide a deeper understanding of the theory, its relation with his epistemology and his aesthet...
Memories of the Fourth Condition and Lessons to be Learned from Suspicious Externalism Baç, Mutlu Murat (2009-01-01) A significant and interesting part of the post-Gettier literature regarding the analysis of propositional knowledge is the attempt to supplement the traditional tripartite analysis by employing a fourth condition regarding the defeasibility of evidence and thus to preclude the counterexamples displayed in Gettier's original article. My aim in this paper is to critically examine the sort of externalism that accompanies the most promising of the proposed fourth conditions, due to Pollock, in order to offer so...
Ending the exile of desire in Spinoza and Hegel Cengiz, Övünç; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2007) The main objective of this master’s thesis is to analyze the place assigned to the phenomenon of desire by Hegel and Spinoza, and to show that the main difference between two philosophers in terms of their understanding of desire and human phenomenon consists in their understanding of the relation between the substance and particulars. In order to fulfill the requirements of this objective, what is focused on is, as different from a certain philosophical thought excluding desire from a true account of human...
The concept of self in the context of the "despisers of the body" alluded in nietzsche's thus spoke zarathustra Yazıcı, Irmak; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2008) This thesis analyses the concept of self with respect to Nietzsche’s (1844- 1900) implications on the “despisers of the body” in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche’s exposition of the self as a varying multiplicity neither within nor out of the body is the basic assumption of this dissertation. In this sense, the place of Nietzschean self considering the evolution of the concept of self through history will be analyzed. The concept of ego (subject) will be discussed as Nietzsche’s critique of the so-called m...
