This thesis analyzes the relation between Kripke's rule-sceptic argument and Wittgenstein's paradox. Besides, Kripke's claim that the conclusion of Wittgenstein's private language argument is stated in PI 202 will be discussed. The thesis will also evaluate the consistency of Kripke's rule-sceptic argument independently of Wittgenstein's views.

The analysis of alienation [Entfremdung] in being time from a Marxist perspective
Keskin, Eda; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2010)
In this thesis, the problem of human being’s alienation from its own Self, society, species-being, objects (products) and labour, which occurs in capitalist modernity through the formation of mass cultures, is analyzed in the conceptual context of Being and Time. In this respect, it is discussed that Heideggerian philosophy is not at odds with Marxism in contrast to Theodor W. Adorno’s arguments in The Jargon of Authenticity. Additionally, the claim of this study is that Heidegger’s ontologico-existential p...
The memory of time : virtuality in Deleuze’s philosophy
İsmet, Burçak; Ceylan, Yasin; Department of Philosophy (2007)
The main objective of this master’s thesis is to examine the concept of difference according to French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson. In order to explicate this crucial concept and its emphasis in these thinkers’ philosophies, this dissertation is focused on the notion of time and memory. Through the thesis, first Deleuze’s critical attitude towards representational and dialectical approachs for difference is elucidated. After the comprehensive examination for the meaning of difference accor...
How to follow a rule : practice based rule following in Wittgenstein
Adanalı, Yurdagül Kılınç; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2005)
Rule following is a central concept in the philosophy of Wittgenstein who was one of the pioneers of modern philosophy. Wittgenstein criticizes the traditional concepts of rule, because they were vague, ambiguous, and idealized. He thinks that it is not possible to isolate rules from practice and that a rule takes its meaning in a certain context or in practice. Wittgenstein̕s concept of rule following is closely related to a set of concepts: internal relation, understanding, criterion. These concepts expla...
A Critical reading of Alan Badiou: relativism in Badiou's theory of truth
Yenisoy Şahin, Eylem; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2012)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a critical reading of Badiou’s theory of truth. Contemporary popular trends such as postmodernism and anti-philosophy champion the principles of pluralism and contingency. They use these against Hegel’s conception of history and theory of ‘relational totality’. Badiou agrees with these trends. But he criticizes their relativist theory of truth. He wants to provide an ‘objective’ foundation for ‘truth’. The question I wish to explore in this thesis is then to analyze ...
An error analysis of iterated defect correction methods for linear differential-algebraic equations
Karasözen, Bülent (1996-01-01)
Asymptotic expansions of the global error of iterated defect correction (IDeC) techniques based on the implicit Euler method for linear differential-algebraic equations (dae's) of arbitrary index are analyzed. The dependence of the maximum attainable convergence order on the degree of the interpolating polynomial, number of defect correction steps, and on the index of the differential-algebraic system is given. The efficiency of IDeC method and extrapolation is compared on the basis of numerical experiments...
