The main concern of this thesis is to investigate the critique of representational thinking in Deleuze and to comprehend the notion of Body without Organs (BwO) in relation to aesthetic experience as an alternative to such thought. In order to do that this thesis problematises thought which ontologically priorities the principle of identity. Following that, it looks at subjecthoods and bodies constructed upon the same notion, and researches Deleuze’s criticisms of them. Finally, it researches the effects of art on these constructions in connection to the former’s power of affecting the latter in terms of turning it into a body without organs. Here the notion of glitch is introduced as an experiment that describes the violence of art to the organised bodies. This thesis holds the Deleuzian argument that new concepts help create new ways of thinking. Thus, it holds that using terms technology introduces brings forth the possibility of thought that previously was not possible. Accordingly, experimental music is offered as a possible event of glitch because it presents new sounds which previously have not entered into a representational relationship with the listener. In the final analysis, the event of glitch is equated with a method of becoming a BwO. In other words, art is discussed as a method that can shake representational and conceptual thought; thus, it is taken as that which enables a direct relationship with the given.

Arthur Danto’s ontology of aesthetics upon pop art İsmet, Burçak; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2014) The main objective of this dissertation is to examine Arthur Danto’s method of indiscernibles in his theory of aesthetics. In order to explicate this conception, Danto’s method of indiscernibles is elucidated by means of Andy Warhol’s works of Pop Art. Through this study Danto’s critical approach against traditional realism in philosophy of art is examined and Danto’s renewed solution for the reality problem of artworks is exposed with the acquaintance of Warhol’s art. After the examination of Danto’s use o...
The Relation between metaphysics and art in Nietzsche’s philosophy Karahan Balya, Gülizar; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2015) The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the significance and relative positions of two central themes in Nietzsche’s philosophy, namely metaphysics and art. The perspective of life and the thought of will to power are located at the core of this investigation since they are considered to function as the organising ideas in Nietzsche’s overall philosophy. This perspective and thought require existence to be viewed as groundless and excessive and particularly as a constant flux of becoming that is ...
The Concept of disinterestedness in modern philosophy of art: Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Heidegger Akkökler Karatekeli, Büşra; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2016) This thesis aims to investigate the concept of disinterestedness in the modern philosophy of art. To this end, I firstly attempt to elucidate how this concept is described and gained its specific meaning in Kant. Then, I focus on Schopenhauer’s salient contribution to the discussion of aesthetic disinterestedness – thought along with his metaphysics –, namely the body, and attempt to bring into view the relation between the body and aesthetic disinterestedness. In the following, I investigate how Nietzsche’...
The Embodiment of the individual self: a conceptualization of body in hegel’s phenomenology of spirit Önder, Sevi Emek; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2018) The primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate and conceptualize the notion of “body” in the context of certain sections of the Phenomenology of Spirit. While investigating the notion of “body” in the thesis, my intention is to see the possibility of reading the Phenomenology as “the science of the embodiment of consciousness”. By relying on this approach, I will try to thematize and give a comprehensive account of the “body” in the “Consciousness” and “Self-Consciousness” sections of the Phenomenolog...
An Attempt at dissolution of the notion of self Sugorakova, Daria; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2014) The purpose of this thesis is to provide a plausible approach to the problems of self and personal continuity that arise in various thought experiments and reported extraordinary real-life cases. When we approach the puzzling thought experiments and actual cases in terms of the notion of sense of self, the question of whether a person’s self continues becomes moot and inconsequential. The approach based on the sense of self provides clarity, is capable of dissolving the puzzles, while the notion of an endur...
