My main aim in this thesis is to reveal the relation between the author and the hero which is quite similar to the relation and the dichotomy between the “I” and “the other” in Mikhail Bakhtin’s philosophy. I will extend my analysis in the ethical relation of author-hero to propose a world view that it is built upon love and sympathy. Finally, I will question ethics in literary genres by focusing on the relationship between the author and the hero. This thesis is devoted to a careful analysis of Bakhtin’s literary theory which inevitably brings us to ethical sphere of aesthetics.

On the possibility, necessity, and practicability of Leopold's land ethic Özer, Mahmut; Sol, Ayhan; Department of Philosophy (2012) In this work, I scrutinize Leopold’s land ethic and Callicott’s interpretation of it both from normative and meta-ethical perspectives by making textual and conceptual analyses. Leopold suggests that an ethic which makes us responsible for the protection of whole nature is evolutionarily possible and ecologically necessary. Callicott tried to buttress Leopold’s land ethic by developing a nonanthropocentric axiology and some meta-principles. Moreover, in his view, Leopold’s views are not only compatible with...
The place of human subject in Foucault's and Deleuze's philosophies Taner, Erdem; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2005) The main objective of this master̕s thesis is to analyze the place assigned to human subjectivity by French philosophers Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze. In order to fulfil the requirements of this objective, what is focused on is their shared critique which is exercised against the traditional conceptions of humanity and subjectivity. Through the thesis, first Foucault̕s analyses which demonstrate that universal man as a construction emerges as an effect of discursive practices and power relations, and ...
An Inquiry into the nature of aesthetic theory in its relation to theory of knowledge in Kant’s critical philosophy Özdoyran, Güven; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2013) The main concern of the dissertation is to investigate Kant’s aesthetic theory and its problematic relation to theory of knowledge in his transcendental philosophy. In the Critique of Judgment, Kant constructs his aesthetic theory by arguing that the aesthetic experience is based on a certain type of feeling, namely, the feeling of pleasure, rather than a concept. He grounds such a feeling on the aesthetic judgment of reflection. In spite of its non-conceptual and subjective characteristic, an aesthetic ref...
The relevancy of art and time in Heidegger's philosophy Sarıot, Eray; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2008) This thesis aims at propounding possible relations between the concepts of time and art in Martin Heidegger’s thinking. Time and art which hold a central place in different periods of Heidegger’s thinking in line with his fundamental question of Being are considered together mainly through the analysis of artwork’s temporal characteristics. The temporality of the artwork in question is investigated specifically in terms of its basic elements of earth and world and with its relation to authenticity. In this ...
THE CONCEPT OF AKRASIA IN ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHY: PLATO, ARISTOTLE, AND THE STOICS Akkökler Karatekeli, Büşra; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2022-9) This thesis investigates the concept of akrasia, with particular attention given to its sundry interpretations in the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics. In this inquiry, I argue that these philosophers agree on the lack of knowledge of the akratic person, while they differentiate from each other as to what this missing knowledge is. Irrespective of their rejection or acknowledgement of akrasia due to their conceptions of the soul, I argue that Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics share the common ...
