This thesis analyzes pain with respect to Nietzsche's Dionysus-Crucified distinction. This distinction, which Nietzsche underlies, reveals his philosophical project. The meaning of pain is at the core point of this distinction. These two deities symbolizes attitudes towards life and pain in it. Dionysus represents the affirmation of becoming and tragic wisdom; and Crucified (Christ) represents despise and escape from life or ascetic ideals. In this sense, the dissertation will first trace Nietzsche's world view. Then the following discussions will present a detailed analysis of ascetic ideals (and their genealogical roots), and tragic wisdom from the perspective of Nietzsche for consideration.

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...

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...
A Study on McGinn’s mysterıanism
Işıkgil, Sena; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2016)
This thesis discusses in detail McGinn’s mysterianism with respect to the mind-body problem. McGinn calls his hypothesis, which is formulated for the solution of this problem, ‘transcendental naturalism’. There are some objections to McGinn’s transcendental naturalism, and they will be analyzed in this thesis in detail. While McGinn’s hypothesis seems to be consistent and reasonable to some extent with respect to its replies to these criticisms; it has some problematic aspects as well. And this thesis will ...
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 ...
Nietzsche on the Relation Between Language and Philosophy
Yıldız, Necdet; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2013)
This thesis analyzes the relation between language and philosophy in the thought of Nietzsche. Nietzsche criticized philosophy as traditional metaphysics mainly because he thinks that it denies life. What in language is life-denying for Nietzsche? In this study, an answer to this question is attempted, and Nietzsche’s usage of language is claimed to be consistent with his criticism of the metaphysics of language.
