Kant's dichotomic philosophy in the critique of judgement
Bal, Metin; Ceylan, Yasin; Department of Philosophy (2002)
This thesis concentrates mainly on Kant's aesthetic philosophy namely on the third Critique, The Critique of Judgement. Throughout his first two Critiques Kant focuses his attention on the most sublime end (eternal peace) and on the ideas of reason (freedom, God, soul). In the first and second Critiques ideas had not been proved to be used with legacy. Thus, this illegal attitude of reason became a wideknown 'gap' of Kant's philosophy. In The Critique of Practical Reason, sensibility is still neglected so t...
ARISTOTLE ON ONTOLOGICAL PRIORITY
Ünlü, Hikmet (2020-01-01)
There are several passages in the Metaphysics where Aristotle explains ontological priority in terms of ontological dependence, but there are others where he seems to adopt a teleological conception of ontological priority. It is sometimes maintained that the latter priority too must be construed in terms of the former, or that the priorities in question arc not both endorsed (or simultaneously endorsed) by Aristotle. The goal of this paper is to show otherwise; I argue that what is at issue are two distinc...
Plato's solution of the problem of falsehood in The Sophist
Uçak, Özgür; Grünberg, David; Department of Philosophy (2005)
The main concern of this thesis is to show Plato̕s solution of the problem of falsehood in his dialogue of the Sophist. In the Sophist, it is argued that false statements are the expressions of something which are not real by Plato. On the other hand, what is not real has been considered as what does not exist, namely, as non-being in the ontological tradition until Plato. Furthermore, non-being can neither be thought nor be stated; since thought must be thought of something which exists. Therefore, to spea...
Marx's epistemology : the relationship between reality and knowledge
Can, Eren; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2011)
The purpose of this thesis is to elaborate on the Marx’s theory of knowledge. Historical materialism presented in the German Ideology and the methodological remarks in Grundrisse have led to many discussions concerning the relation between knowledge and reality in Marx’s philosophy. This thesis tried to explore the interrelationships between the kinds of knowledge we produce, abstract concepts and the concrete material conditions, as elaborated by Marx. In contrast to traditional epistemology, and more alon...
ARISTOTLE, HEIDEGGER, AND THE MEGARIANS
Ünlü, Hikmet (2020-01-01)
This paper examines Aristotle's analysis of unenacted capacities to show the role they play in his discovery of the concept of actuality. I first argue that Aristotle begins Metaphysics IX by focusing on active and passive capacities, after which I discuss Aristotle's confrontation with the Megarians, the philosophers who maintain that a capacity is present only insofar as it is being enacted. Using Heidegger's interpretation as a guide, I show that Aristotle's rejection of the Megarian position leads him t...
