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 possibility of reading Hegel’s Science of Logic is discussed.

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...
Nietzche's concept of pain Aktaş, Abdullah Onur; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2006) 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 ...
Heidegger on the claim of the phenomenon: logos and being Namlı Türkmen, Gülşah; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2013) 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 Heide...
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.
Exotic smooth structures on non-simply connected 4-manifolds Topkara, Mustafa; Ozan, Yıldıray; Department of Mathematics (2010) In this thesis, we study exotic smooth structures on 4-manifolds with finite fundamental groups. For an arbitrary finite group G, we construct an infinite family of smooth 4-manifolds with fundamental group G, which are all homeomorphic but mutually non-diffeomorphic, using the small symplectic manifold with arbitrary fundamental group constructed by S. Baldridge and P. Kirk, together with the methods of A. Akhmedov, R.Ý. Baykur and D. Park for constructing infinite families of exotic simply connected 4-man...
