A non-egological interpretation of Husserl's phenomenology
Yeğin, Arzu; Grünberg, David; Department of Philosophy (2008)
In this thesis, I defend a non-egologic pure consciousness which is the initial position of Husserl in the Logical Investigations. There is anti transcendental ego argumentations in which I claim that self alienation of the "transcendental ego", incomplete reduction, the presence of the pre-reflective transcendental ego are the reasons to leave the claim about the existence of the "transcendental ego". I also claim that the possible solution of the mind-body problem depends on the denial of the "transcenden...
How does consciousness exist?: a comparative inquiry on classical empiricism and William James
Yılmaz, Zeliha Burcu; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2006)
William James denies consciousness as an entity and this rejection lies in the background of my thesis. I searched the main reasons for this rejection in his philosophy. Throughout this search, I perceived two modes of existence of consciousness, that is active and passive. As James improves his thoughts on consciousness over the main arguments of classical empiricists, I explained his radical empiricism and pragmatism in relation to them. It is difficult to answer whether we are completely active or passiv...
Marx's epistemology : the relationship between reality and knowledge
Can, Eren; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2011)
The purpose of this thesis is to elaborate on the Marx’s theory of knowledge. Historical materialism presented in the German Ideology and the methodological remarks in Grundrisse have led to many discussions concerning the relation between knowledge and reality in Marx’s philosophy. This thesis tried to explore the interrelationships between the kinds of knowledge we produce, abstract concepts and the concrete material conditions, as elaborated by Marx. In contrast to traditional epistemology, and more alon...
A coherentist approach to the justification of scientific theories
Kamözüt, Mehmet Cem; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2008)
Philosophers of science have long realized that it is not possible to decide which scientific theory is true just by relying on their empirical adequacy. That theories should possess other virtues in order to be accepted by the scientific community is well understood. Nevertheless, empirical adequacy remained as having a privileged value among these virtues. In this thesis I argue that scientific theories are accepted or rejected on the bases of an evaluation of their degree of coherence. In such a coherent...
Critique of epistemic externalism and defense of foundationalist internalism
Altuğ, Ali Haydar; Ceylan, Yasin; Department of Philosophy (2015)
This thesis argues that epistemic externalism is untenable and defends that, although facing some severe problems, internalism is the only possible remaining option for a theory of knowledge and justification. It defends a foundationalist version of internalism, in which one’s beliefs about her own state of mind are taken to be certain. In this way, together with propositions of logic and mathematics, foundationalist requirement of certain and basic beliefs is rendered. Further, based on Laurence Bonjour’s ...
