A study of the self in Nietzsche's fatalistic universe of eternal recurrence
Canbolat, Argun Abrek; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2009)
The doctrine of eternal recurrence is not only an aspect of Nietzsche’s philosophy, but a notion that structures the base of his philosophy. The doctrine is analyzed by many interpreters in various ways. The cosmological and the ethical-existential approaches to the doctrine are at the very base wrong. The doctrine’s impact cannot be adequately understood in these terms. Besides, the doctrine of eternal recurrence has multiple problems within it, problems which can be solved if the doctrine is understood an...
An inquiry on Wittgenstein's conception of meaning
Erşahin, Direnç; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2007)

Therefore, my primary purpose is to establish a strong conceptual ...

A study on dikaosune and eudaimonia in Plato’s Republic
Şentuna, Eylül; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2012)
The aim of this study is to analyze the concept on dikaiosune in Plato's Republic with its main aspects. Republic as an overarching philosophical work will be reviewed as a whole and the overall scheme will be taken into account. There will be an emphasis on the ethical point of view rather than a political standpoint. The main interest of the thesis is what dikaiosune is and its relationship with goodness and eudaimonia which are terms sometimes used interchangeably. Still, the intervowen concepts of virtu...
