THE PHILOSOPHY OF MICHEL FOUCAULT: FROM ARCHAEOLOGY TO GENEALOGY, FROM STRUCTURALISM TO POSTSTRUCTURALISM
Ülker, Cenk; Karademir, Aret; Department of Philosophy (2022-12)
The question of whether Foucault can be considered a structuralist or a poststructuralist philosopher has led to various interpretations among Foucault scholars. On the one hand, the Foucault scholars reading his archaeological method from a poststructuralist perspective argue that Foucault aimed to diagnose the present from the beginning of his archaeological period in order to understand what the present day is. On the other hand, some argue that Foucault cannot be called a structuralist because he is con...
The Imaginary and Descartes’s Paradoxical Rationality
İbrahimhakkıoğlu, Fulden (2018-05-01)
The imaginary plays a distinctive role in Descartes’ writings. While its place is often articulated in negative terms (as that which is illusory or deceptive), it nonetheless serves as an important ground for the Cartesian project to unfold. Descartes’ search for clear and distinct ideas takes place through reason’s interplay with the imaginary. While its reliability as a source of knowledge is ultimately dismissed, the imaginary is that which is never truly mastered or overcome. It is a source of dread and...
THE CONCEPT OF AKRASIA IN ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHY: PLATO, ARISTOTLE, AND THE STOICS
Akkökler Karatekeli, Büşra; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2022-9)
This thesis investigates the concept of akrasia, with particular attention given to its sundry interpretations in the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Irrespective of their rejection or acknowledgement of akrasia due to their conceptions of the soul, I argue that Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics share the common ...
The Possibilities and limitations of articulation and political subjectification mechanisms in Turkey
Akgün, Recep; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe; Department of Sociology (2018)
This thesis analyzes the articulation and political subjectifications in the contemporary radical popular and mass political experiences. It aims to respond how the radical contemporary popular and mass political experiences become possible and delimited. It indicates the theoretical and analytical limits of the universalist and essentialist perspectives. Also, it criticizes the perspectives that neglect the role of the agency and the local social and political conditions. Thus, it concentrates upon the Tur...
The anarchy of justice: Hesiod’s Chaos, Anaximander’s apeiron, and geometric thought
Grıffıth, James Edmond Carr (2022-04-01)
This article examines Hesiod’s Chaos and Anaximander’s apeiron individually and inrelation to each other through the frame of René Descartes’ notion of natural geometry andthrough bounds and limits in Euclid and Immanuel Kant. Thanks to this frame, it shows that, inhis poetic vision, Hesiod saw in Chaos the act of bounding such that different things can appearwhile, in his speculative vision, Anaximander saw in the apeiron the self-limiting limit ofbounded things, which is to say, time as distinct from the ...
