Function, reduction and normativity Akbay, Gökhan; Sol, Ayhan; Department of Philosophy (2010) Normativity of biological functions create a serious obstacle against the reduction of functional biology into molecular biology. Normativity of biological entities has two interconnected sources. One is the internal complexity and self organization demonstrated by the organism. The second source is external to the organism: Natural selection. An organism adapts to its environment by its internal autonomy. Species or populations adapt by natural selection. If these two sources of normativity can be reduced ...
Self-love and self-deception in Seneca, the Stoic Sururi, Ayten; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2005) In this thesis, Seneca̕s notion of self as self-love and the problem of self-deception are analyzed. In examining three types of self-love, اignorant, progressing selves,اthree models of self-deception are discussed. Self-deception is related to the problem of self-knowledge.

Dualities in bergson revisited: towards a reconciliation? Karahan, Gülizar; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2008) The aim of this study is to make an inquiry on the nature and the development of dualities in Bergson’s philosophy.

We claim that such an inquiry will yield relevant outcomes with regard to ontological and epistemological evolution of Bergson’s thought. To state more pr...

Irony as a fundamental philosophical attitude in Socratic philosophy is discussed with reference to some of the major philosophers of the history of philosophy. The thesis also suggests the possibility of seeing philosophy as an ironic activity and it traces the etymology of the concept of irony in terms of its philosophical importance.
Propositional knowledge and the enigma of realism Baç, Mutlu Murat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-03-01) This article deals with the philosophical problem of how to conceive reality. The dif culty consists in nding a middle way between the claim that reality is unconceptualised reality and the claim that there is no difference between what is real and what we experience as real. In this regard, the pragmatic tradition in philosophy promises to provide us with some fruitful ideas for steering a path between the two. The author applies some of these ideas in developing a pragmatic realist philosophy of religion...
