An Environmental philosophical analysis of ecosystem health
Saraç, Yüksel; Sol, Ayhan; Department of Philosophy (2019)
The aim of this study is to qualify the notion of ecosystem health by taking the origin of the 'health' concept into consideration and discuss how to find solutions to some environmental problems, arising from the combination of the individual terms of ‘ecosystem health’. With this intention, I evaluate the ethical theories of leading environmental philosophers about ecosystem health through an analytical inquiry.
An analysis of the value debate in environmental ethics
Demir, Onur; Sol, Ayhan; Department of Philosophy (2020)
The aim of this study is to give a general understanding about the value approaches in environmental ethics. I will analyze non-anthropocentric theories based on intrinsic value and pragmatist approach to values and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages separately. In conclusion, I will argue that neither of them provides a comprehensive and coherent suggestion atthe same time, because environmental problems stem from a different reason than the ones that they pur...

Content analysis was carried out on participants’ written statements regarding their concerns about the presented environmental problems and the statements were labeled as ecocentric, anthropocentric, and non-environmental according to their meanings. Then, descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted on the calculated frequen...
The Use of the concept of intrinsic value in anthropocentric and non-anthropocentric approaches in environmental ethics: a metaethical investigation
Aydın Bayram, Selma; Ceylan, Yasin; Department of Philosophy (2016)
The concept of intrinsic value is one of the most disputed concepts of ethics, and in particular, environmental ethics. The traditional approaches towards nature are anthropocentric, attributing intrinsic value merely to human beings. Nowadays, environmental philosophers mostly try to distance themselves from anthropocentric attitudes, and they introduce ethical reasons, which do not consider nature merely instrumentally valuable. In general, environmental ethicists are prone to appeal to the concept of ‘in...
Production of meaning of place through cultural practices : the case of Van
Soner, Sultan; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2005)
The aim of this thesis is to study the multidimensional relation between the spatial and the social by focusing on Van as a place. In order to understand social processes, it is important to view the complex relation between the spatial and the social. Taking the space-place relation into consideration, this work approaches to the processes of construction and representation of identity of place in the framework of the interrelation between place, culture and identity. Different groups in society are in a c...
