In this article, the articulation of Heideggerian existentialism to the post-Marxist theory of politics isexamined critically. With this articulation, post-Marxism aims to grant politics an ontological statusby using concepts which are detached from their philosophical context. The article argues that thisarticulation is problematic, as the theoretical and philosophical problems generated by thisincorporation remain unresolved. However, it also argues that this problematic articulation revealsthe inherent theoretical limitations of post-Marxism, which are basically related to the dissolution of“the social” from the theoretical horizon of post-Marxism.

Husserl's conception of intentionality phenomenological analysis of noesis and noema Gözetlik, Servet; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2003) Husserl̕s phenomenology can be analyzed simply by relying on the conception of intentionality. What I want to do is to put forward the logical grounds on which I can construct an acceptable account of Husserl̕s theory of intentionality. For this aim, firstly, I need to put some light on the nature of intentional acts or experiences.This suggests us that there is a close connection between the acts and what they are directed towards. Actually many have specified the relation between the act and the object, b...
Critical analysis on marxist orthodoxies: a contribution of social history of political theory Koçak, Berkay; Birler, Reşide Ömür; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2017) This thesis aims to identify the different approaches to historical materialism in a way describing the existing controversy between Political Marxism and mainstream (Orthodox) Marxism especially concentrating on their perspectives viewing the history of political thought. As the unique effort to understand the origins of political theory, the discipline namely ‘the social history of political theory’ -which was founded and developed by Ellen Meiksins Wood (1942-2016)- is revisited and reevaluated in compar...
Heidegger and Foucault: On the Relation Between the Anxiety-Engendering-Truth and Being-Towards-Freedom Karademir, Aret (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-08-01) In his very last, now famous, interview, Michel Foucault states that his philosophical thought was shaped by his reading of Heidegger, even though he does not specify what aspects of Heidegger's philosophy inspired him in the first place. However, his last interview is not the only place where Foucault refers to Heidegger as his intellectual guide. In his 1981/1982 lecture course, The Hermeneutics of the Subject, Foucault confesses that the way Heidegger conceptualized the relationship between subject and t...
Neoliberalism and the alternative globalization movement Öncan, Mehmet Onur; Tayfur, Mehmet Faih; Department of International Relations (2009) This thesis aims to analyze the social reactions against neoliberalism by using the Polanyian concept of double movement. The goal is to first to understand the nature of alternative globalization movement and provide a better framework of analysis for theorizing these social reactions. The criticisms of the alternative globalization movement against the World Trade Organization will be analyzed in order to provide a specific case example for the concerns and goals of the movement regarding the global polit...
Empowering Critical International Theory by Applying Action Research Methodology to its Inquiry Kurtbağ, Ömer (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2011-4) This paper analyzes the influence and relevance of Gramscian and Habermasian critical international theories within the context of recent developments in the world politics that do not function in favour of these discourses’ emancipatory objectives and projections. It first looks at their emergence as alternative paradigms to the traditional conceptualizations in the discipline of IR and then compares the roots of their theoretical positions and their contribution to the analysis of international politics. ...
