This thesis focuses on the concept of immanence in Spinoza’s philosophy and its importance in explicating theory of knowledge and conatus. While accounting for immanence, it will seek not only his metaphysics but also a critical discussion of transcendence and emanation. After the metaphysical system behind his philosophy is explained, his defense of necessitarianism will be emphasized. In this study, under the light of these, a coherent interpretation of Spinoza’s solutions, how these relate to his theory of knowledge and striving, will be investigated.

Ending the exile of desire in Spinoza and Hegel
Cengiz, Övünç; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2007)
The main objective of this master’s thesis is to analyze the place assigned to the phenomenon of desire by Hegel and Spinoza, and to show that the main difference between two philosophers in terms of their understanding of desire and human phenomenon consists in their understanding of the relation between the substance and particulars. In order to fulfill the requirements of this objective, what is focused on is, as different from a certain philosophical thought excluding desire from a true account of human...
The significance of time in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason
Çifteci, Volkan; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2011)
The purpose of this thesis is to give an account of the significance of time in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason by discussing its role in the unification of sensibility and understanding. I primarily investigate the role that time plays in the constitution of objective knowledge. I discuss that since time is the necessary condition for objects to be given to our sensibility, without it any representation would be without a temporal order and perhaps would not make any sense at all. Kant claims that it is ima...
Virtuous life and happiness in Epictetus, Socrates & Stoicism
Kahveci, Hülya; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2015)
In this M.A. thesis, Epictetus’ philosophy about virtuous life and happiness will be investigated. His philosophy is shaped by the thoughts of Socrates and Stoicism, therefore, before his main thoughts Socrates’ and Stoic’s philosophy under the scope of happiness will be analyzed. Firstly, the focus will be on Socrates’ philosophy of happiness, but before that, in order to pull the reader out of the blurry thoughts about historical Socrates and Platonic Socrates dilemma, I will try to prove that Socrates ha...
A Critical reading of Alan Badiou: relativism in Badiou's theory of truth
Yenisoy Şahin, Eylem; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2012)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a critical reading of Badiou’s theory of truth. Contemporary popular trends such as postmodernism and anti-philosophy champion the principles of pluralism and contingency. They use these against Hegel’s conception of history and theory of ‘relational totality’. Badiou agrees with these trends. But he criticizes their relativist theory of truth. He wants to provide an ‘objective’ foundation for ‘truth’. The question I wish to explore in this thesis is then to analyze ...
A Philosophical approach to upper-level ontologies
Satıoğlu, Dilek; Zambak, Aziz Fevzi; Department of Philosophy (2015)
The aim of this thesis is to provide a philosophical approach to upper-level ontologies. The ontologies and/or categorical system of Aristotle, Kant, Husserl, and Quine are evaluated in order to give a philosophical understanding of ontologies. After an explanation of the developments in ontology as a new interdisciplinary study, the most well known upper-level ontologies, BFO, DOLCE, SUMO, and Cyc, are analysed technically. In the light of philosophical ontologies and categorical systems, these upper-level...
