In this study my main end will be to look into the ground of possibility of constructive value of imagination and the poetic genesis of the first humankind in Vico, first through the principle of verum-factum, and second the concept of poetic wisdom (sapienza poetica) with respect to the notion of language in particular. The possibility of the originary nature of language will be discussed in a twofold inquiry by introducing the relevance of studying Vico today in the field of philosophy, and through an example regarding "Chapulling".

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.

The Uses of the World Soul in Plato's Timaeus Evren, Şahan; Bağçe, Samet; Department of Philosophy (2009) The purpose of the present study is to assess the explanatory value of the concept of the World Soul in the cosmological account of Plato’s Timaeus. The World Soul plays a crucial role in the account of the world of Becoming in the Timaeus and in Plato’s philosophy of science. The World Soul explains why there is motion at all in the universe and sustains the regularity and uniformity of the motion of the celestial objects. Its constitution and the way it is generated by the Demiurge endow it an intermediar...
