This thesis is based on two readings on death. The first one is Martin Heidegger̕s Being and Time chapter two, part one and the second one is Jacques Derrida̕s Aporias. The first reading is based on the phenomenological analysis of death. The line of argument of Heidegger is figured out. The second reading is based on Derrida̕s deconstruction of Heidegger̕s account of death in Being and Time. The thesis and the conclusion part is based on the idea that, on death, these philosophers are fundamentally similar and radically different. This is shown by the comparison of these philosophers.

Physicalism and the phenomenal-physical gap : can a posteriori necessary physicalism adequately respond to the problem of phenomenal subjecthood? Arıcı, Murat; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2011) Phenomenal consciousness presents a recalcitrant problem for the scientific conception of the world and the physicalist thesis that claims that everything that exists (including whatever is involved in any mental phenomena) is physical and physically explainable. Thus, on this view, every truth is a physical truth. By Putnam-Kripkean considerations and for several other reasons, I defend the claim that any version of such a physicalist thesis must be a necessary thesis, which ultimately means that contingen...
How the dialectical relationship between consciousness and life is differentiated in Hegel's and Marx's philosophies Kibar, Sibel; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2005) The purpose of this study is to present the different approaches, which Hegel and Marx have developed regarding the relation between consciousness and life, consistent with their aims. Hegel̕s aim is to combine all the opposed ideas and beliefs proposed throughout the history of philosophy into a unified whole. Hegel̕s dialectics which is immanent to life can also explain the opposition between consciousness and life. Self-consciousness, which appears as subjectivity in Hegel̕s philosophy, at first, treats ...
Antinomies and the problem of ontology in Hegel’s Science of logic Cengiz, Övünç; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2014) This thesis discusses the problem of the possibility of a post-Kantian ontology. The thesis argues that Kant denies the validity of the knowledge claims of classical ontology, and argues that our knowledge claims must be limited with the daily objects of our sensation. After having discussed that the limitation brought by Kant mainly stems from the Antinomies, the thesis further argues that a post-Kantian ontology must face the reasons Kant has pointed out for the limitation of thought. Finally, the possibi...
Heidegger's Hölderlin interpretations in Andenken hymn : the feast Arslan, Mahmuthan; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2012) This thesis explores Heidegger's Hölderlin interpretations to exhibit Heidegger's thoughts on history as a destiny of a people. The feast as the occasion of the encounter of gods and men will be set as the the inception of the history and the time of the balanced destiny. The course of history will be explained as a result of compliance and accordance with destiny, other than being an output of cause-effect chain.
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...
