INTRODUCTION Mustafa ÖZCAN's book on "HOLISM" With the beginning of the Renaissance in the 17th century, a new way of thinking was initiated in the world of philosophy and science. Although the holistic approach was a popular way of thinking among philosophers in ancient Greece, it cannot be said that there was an important theoretical recovery in these periods. This movement in Europe is primarily Rene Descartes, who wrote books on scientific methods and brought important rules. This groundbreaking philosopher was followed by the great physicist Isaac NEWTON. On the other hand, in Germany, Leibniz has taken important steps on theoreticality and holism with an approach similar to Descartes....

Felsefi bir kavrayış nasıl oluşur… “Gelecekle ilişki başkasıyla gerçekleşir gibi görünüyor.” – Emmanuel Levinas Felsefe, karşılaşmalardır. Başka filozoflarla, başka metinlerle karşılaşmalar… Çünkü bir filozof kendisini ancak bir başkasının aynasında görebilir. Bunun inkâr edildiği noktada felsefeden söz etmek de güçleşecektir. Zira ne de olsa felsefe kendini başından beri diyalog yoluyla var edegelmiştir. Doğan Özlem de Persona’da kendi karşılaşmalarını anlatıyor. Pek çok felsefeciyle yürüttüğü tartışmalar aracılığıyla hem onların hem de kendisinin felsefi serüvenini ortaya koyuyor. Çakışma noktalarına, itirazlara, k...
Covering a rich array of global aspects, ranging from individuals as ideational entrepreneurs to transnational intellectual trajectories, this volume deals with multiple dimensions of global and transnational backgrounds pertaining to Turkey’s intellectual history, starting with the 19th and reaching the 21st-century. The book engages with the late Ottoman and republican Turkish periods through topics such as the transnational processes that contributed to the development of modern Turkish philosophy, the Bosnian and Bulgarian intellectuals at the end times of the Ottoman imperial order, Wilsonianism’s impact, the role of Westerners in promoting Ottoman political agendas, the global connections and ramifi cations of Turkish Islamism as well as Turkish anticlericalism and leftism. The aim is to globalize late Ottoman and republican Turkish intellectual histories by presenting distinct frameworks for advancing the Global Intellectual History agenda in this distinct setting.
The expansion of Western education overseas has been both an economic success, if the numbers of American, European, and Australian universities setting up campuses in Asia and the Middle East is a measure -- and a source of consternation for academics concerned with norms of free inquiry and intellectual freedom. Faculty at Western campuses have resisted the new satellite campuses, fearing that colleagues on those campuses would be less free to teach and engage in intellectual inquiry, and that students could be denied the free inquiry normally associated with liberal arts education. Critics point to the denial of visas to academics wishing to carry out research on foreign campuses, the sud...
