The problem of justice in the philosophies of Rousseau and Kant
Ünlü, Özlem; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2011)
The aim of this study is to make a comparison between Rousseau’s and Kant’s theory of justice. This thesis defends the arguments of Rousseau’s democratic political theory against the claims raised by Kant. Rousseau and Kant formulate how to relieve the tension between individual and society. This tension is the one between individual and political freedom. Rousseau calls it the tension between moral and political freedom and Kant terms it as internal and external freedom. However, Rousseau ensures continuit...
The problem of self-knowledge in Kant's critique of pure reason
Haşar, Ekim; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2010)

We can see that this concept has ...

The problem of freedom in the context of the law of causality in Kant's critique of pure reason
Özdoyran, Güven; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2005)
The main concern of the thesis is the problem of reconciliation of freedom and natural causality and to investigate how Kant makes a room for freedom. Kant, firstly, in أAnalyticؤ, constitutes the conditions of knowledge upon which the objective validity of the law of causality entirely rests. This process of constitution also determines the limits of experience. On the other hand, Kant, in أDialecticؤ, postulates freedom as a noumenal cause together with the law of causality. Transcendental freedom, in thi...
