Hegel's system, with a purpose of being the newest philosophy, represents a turning point in the history of thought. In contrast to the philosophical thoguht of Enlightenment which seperates branches of knowledge, or that of philosophy, Hegel tries to recombine them. In this study, I intend to reveal the close connection of the concepts appeared in the two works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, namely, The Phenomenology of Spirit (Phänomenologie des Geistes) and Elements of the Philosophy of Right (Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts). These concepts are consciousness, self-consciousness, desire, recognition, freedom and intersubjectivity that are very important for considering self-actualization of the individual and for understanding also the process of human socialization. In this sense, Hegel̕s philosophy, in general, is an attempt to analyze modern society through the light of these conceptions which are still central to our aspirations as reflective social beings.

Reformulation of the concept of understanding in Heidegger's and Gadamer's hermeneutic theories Günok, Emrah; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2004) The goal of the present dissertation is to display the reconstruction of the concept of understanding which has down through the history of philosophy been used as the synonym of knowing. Hence, my main intention is to focus on the Heidegger2s and Gadamer2s critique of epistemological conception of understanding and their reevaluation of this concept in terms of ontology. Finally, I will try to examine the similarities and dissimilarities between the philosophers and try to call attention to their emphasis ...
A Problem of self-consciousness and recognition in Hegel's phenomenology of spirit Günay, Serkan; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2012) The problem of self-consciousness and recognition is one of the most crucial and central issues in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. The purpose of this study is to expose and investigate this problem in accordance with the unity of Phenomenology through which Hegel examines the experience of consciousness in terms of its own criterion. The emergence of self-consciousness as an explicit issue becomes the truth of movement of consciousness, and self-consciousness essentially takes the form of desire. In this ...
Heidegger on the claim of the phenomenon: logos and being Namlı Türkmen, Gülşah; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2013) In this thesis, our aim is to bring into view Heidegger’s thinking in a comprehensive sense with regard to its fundamental premise. As we shall see, the latter lies in what phenomenological breakthrough brought forward in terms of an idea of showing in its manner of giving itself. This problematic has its own genesis as itself in the sense that what is to be thought comes to revealing as the way of thinking which is not based on metaphysical stances, but finds itself on the way to itself. Although for Heide...
Dangers of morality and the rationality of the desire for perpetual peace Yıldırım, Erdoğan (2006-03-01) This article tries to discuss the potential dangers of proposing a world order in the form of the morally based idea of perceptual peace as it is developed by Kant and further propagated by Habermas and Derrida. Drawing on a distinction between the Kantian idea of morality (Moralitat) attributed to the internality of man via its theological connection with god and an idea of ethics akin to Aristotelian and/or Hegelian notions (ethos or ethical life - Sittlichkeit), the article posits the question of the rol...
THE CONCEPT OF AKRASIA IN ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHY: PLATO, ARISTOTLE, AND THE STOICS Akkökler Karatekeli, Büşra; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2022-9) This thesis investigates the concept of akrasia, with particular attention given to its sundry interpretations in the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics. In this inquiry, I argue that these philosophers agree on the lack of knowledge of the akratic person, while they differentiate from each other as to what this missing knowledge is. Irrespective of their rejection or acknowledgement of akrasia due to their conceptions of the soul, I argue that Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics share the common ...
