The Emergence of the immaterial spirit through the material psyche in the philosophy of George Santayana Hamdioğlu, Yakup; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2015) Santayana’s mature philosophical works depends on the animal faith philosophy locating the action at the centre, which he view as an honest approach for philosophy, and on the realms of being locating matter and essence at the centre. In these works, what initiates the adventure of human being in the world of action or the realm of matter is the fact that s/he has a psyche. The psyche plays a so active role in the integrity between nature and our actions that her role paves the foundation for the emergence ...
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 role of symbolic presentation in Kant's theory of taste Rueger, A; Evren, S (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005-07-01) Beauty, or at least natural beauty, is famously a symbol of the morally good in Kant's theory of taste. Natural beauty is also, we argue, a symbol of the systematicity of nature. This symbolic connection of beauty and systematicity in nature sheds light on the relation between the principles underlying the use of reflecting judgement. The connection also motivates a more general interpretive proposal: the fact that the imagination can symbolize ideas plays a crucial role in the theory of taste; it is the me...
The Uses of the World Soul in Plato's Timaeus Evren, Şahan; Bağçe, Samet; Department of Philosophy (2009) The purpose of the present study is to assess the explanatory value of the concept of the World Soul in the cosmological account of Plato’s Timaeus. The World Soul plays a crucial role in the account of the world of Becoming in the Timaeus and in Plato’s philosophy of science. The World Soul explains why there is motion at all in the universe and sustains the regularity and uniformity of the motion of the celestial objects. Its constitution and the way it is generated by the Demiurge endow it an intermediar...
The growing desert: nihilism and metaphysics in Martin Heidegger's thought Duman, Musa; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2009) In this study, we explore Heidegger’s understanding of nihilism as the essential dimension of metaphysics, of metaphysical experience of Being, and in the following, we address his responses to it. Heidegger takes nihilism as rooted in the metaphysical way of thinking, hence metaphysics and nihilism standing in a primordial identity. Such metaphysical way of thinking as a framework in which Being is experinced and articulated, explicitly or implicitly in all areas of Western culture, from art to science, gi...
