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 Heidegger, metaphysical thought consists in an essential forgetting, metaphysics is not set aside; but rather, his thinking provides us with an originary direction in the sense that metaphysics is appropriated. This becomes obvious when we see that our thinking appeals again to the basic issues such as ‘truth’, ‘to be self or human’ or ‘to be a being’, not as subject matters of this or that system of thinking, but in such a way that the matter itself keeps itself in thinking as its claiming. This amounts to saying that what is at stake is a kind of nearness or intimacy with the distance proper to it in such a way that it gives time and being. As we follow Heidegger in his path of thinking, we shall see that this is not a product of any human capacity; instead it is the language in its speaking essentially where human being dwells.

Critical Realism: Post-Positivist Stage in International Relations Theory Yalvaç, Faruk (2010-12-01) Critical realism is a philosophy of science that is increasingly occupying the center of discussion in the theory of International Relations. The most important aspect of critical realism is that it shifts the focus of controversy in international relations from epistemology to ontology. According to the materialist ontology of critical realism there exists a reality independent of our observations and experiences. This is an alternative to the dominant positivist as well as post-positivist conceptions of s...
Scheme-based Alethic Realism: Agency, the environment, and truthmaking Baç, Mutlu Murat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-05-01) This paper presents a position called Scheme-based Alethic Realism, which reconciles a realist position on the nature of truth with a pluralistic Kantian perspective that allows for multiple "environments" in which truthmaking relationships are established. We argue that truthmaking functions are constrained by a stable phenomenal world and a stable cognitive architecture. This account takes truth as normatively distinct from epistemic justification while relativizing the truth conditions of our statements ...
Heideggerian way-making to language Sezgi, Damla; Karademir, Aret; Department of Philosophy (2016) The main concern of the present thesis is ‘language’ in Heidegger. Beginning with a discussion of the place of the Heideggerian thought within the context of the history of philosophy, which at that time witnessed a shift which is called ‘linguistic turn’, the question ‘What is language?’ is scrutinized to show the dilemma which arises from the fact that this question itself is in language. After, from the Heideggerian perspective, the interrogation of the whatness of language is shown to be inadequate, req...
Heidegger and derrida on death Şentuna, Barış; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2004) 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...
Nietzsche's criticisms of Kantian morality Binici, Başta Başar; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2010) The purpose of this study is to explain and evaluate Nietzsche’s criticisms of Kantian morality. Kantian morality has greatly influenced western moral thought. Nietzsche’s criticisms focus on the scientific and universal character of this philosophy. This work focuses on the ideas of ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’, ‘individual virtues’ and ‘morality as a science’. In order to understand and analyze Nietzsche’s critiques, his epistemological criticisms are also evaluated.
