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 explains the intimate relation between rule following and practice. Wittgenstein believes that his theory of rule following does not generate some problems such as paradox of interpretation and regression. Furthermore, the concept of practice plays a central role in Wittgenstein̕s view of rule following. He removes metaphysical speculations that are put forward concerning the أessenceؤ of rule following and locates rule following in a form of life, that is in a natural context. With this, he provides an explanation that clarifies misuses of language and establishes a correct relation between theory and practice.

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...
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...
A critical evaluation of Kripke's interpretation of Wittgenstein
Karaağaç, Hasan; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2004)
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 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 ...
Therapeutic philosophy: wittgenstein and heidegger
Temizler, Büke; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2020)
Considering comparative studies in philosophy, the relationship between philosophies of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger has a remarkable place in history. In this thesis, I attempt to discuss their philosophies to reveal their common suggestion to philosophy, which could be understood as a cure to the misleading formulations of philosophical problems. Their philosophical method begins with giving attention to the pre-theoretical attitude of human beings in ordinary life, in evaluating the philosoph...
