The relation of aesthetic experience to the truth and the good in Kant
Avcı, Nil; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2009)
This thesis aims to explore the role and significance of the aesthetic experience in Kant’s philosophy. To accomplish this aim; firstly, the role of aesthetic power of judgment is discovered in subject’s production of truths about the sensible world which is attributed to the cognitive power of understanding.

The value of sociability in Rousseau, Hegel, and Nietzsche
Karatekeli, Emre; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2021-5)
This thesis investigates the political philosophies of Rousseau, Hegel, and Nietzsche, as regards the relation between sociability and freedom. Firstly, I argue that Rousseau’s fundamental view undergoes a drastic shift in that while in the Second Discourse he regards the human being as essentially individualistic, in the Social Contract he dismisses egoism and argues for the establishment of sociability in the name of general will to materialise human freedom. Secondly, I discuss how Hegel proves the neces...
The problem of justice in the philosophies of Rousseau and Kant
Ünlü, Özlem; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2011)

However, Rousseau ensures continuit...

Through the thesis, first Foucault̕s analyses which demonstrate that universal man as a construction emerges as an effect of discursive practices and power relations, and ...
The experience of the ethical and its political consequences in later Heidegger and Derrida
Camcı, Cihan; Ergüden, Akın; Department of Philosophy (2004)
In my doctorate thesis, I have discussed the notion of the experience of the ethical and its political consequences. In this context, I have pointed to the central strategy of Kantian ethics that is called transcendental strategy. Transcendental strategy relies on a concept of causality, which unlike the causality that governs the laws of nature, arises from freedom in its cosmological meaning. I have discussed Heideggerian challenge to this concept of causality from an ontological point of view that gives ...
