Philosophy, as a way of thinking that produces concepts, tries to understand and make sense of what is happening, life, the world, and is based on critical thinking and critical looking. In philosophy, criticism takes its power from reasoning, that is, from putting a principle and thinking and the work done with this reasoning. In this context, the philosopher's work is to look at life and the world with a critical eye, and to try to see and grasp what is happening and becoming in its entirety. Conceptual thinking thus goes with criticism. At this point, it is necessary to separe a place for language -for language as the language of philosophy. Philosophy is thinking with language, in language and through language. This language is also the language of man; the language that man speaks in existence, and in Being. In this sense, there is no special language of philosophy, language of religion, language of science and language of art. Where there is thinking and speaking, there is only "man’s language"
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has dominated the country’s politics for more than two decades. To answer the question how one man was able to remain popular for such a long period of time, it is necessary to understand his leadership secrets. In Political Leadership and Erdoğan, former cabinet minister and long-time Erdoğan aide Yalçın Akdoğan provides valuable insights into the Turkish president’s leadership profile and explains how he relates to centuries-old theories of leadership in Turkish and Islamic thought. This book is appropriate for political scientists, international relations experts, practitioners and historians as well as scholars of Turkey, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. It is also intended to supplement courses in leadership development, political communication and public relations theory.
The aim of this book is to critically discuss the validity of replicability and universality principles of positivism from a sociological perspective. The main critiques of contemporary positivism are given by the schools of thought represented by multifarious thinkers. The critique of positivist sociology, which confirms itself based on continuous replication and aims to reach universal laws, is given and the validity of replicability principle from the sociological point of view, is discussed. The discussion begins with brief premises of classical positivism, proceeds to contemporary critique of logical positivism and is complemented by the post-2010 Replication Crisis. The particular emphasis is given to the Replication Crisis, and the reasons why replication studies are rare in sociology, are discussed. As a result of the study, it is concluded that positivist claims: replication and universality principles lose their validity in sociology due to ontological, epistemological, individual and structural aspects.
The use of music in therapeutic practice in Turkey and the surrounding geographical regions is not a new phenomenon. Until recently, however, the music therapy profession, as it is known in the modern world, had not been institutionalized as a scientific discipline in Turkey. However in recent years, encouraging developments have started to occur in this regard. In this book, readers will find articles about the perceptions of music therapy in Turkey, the evaluation of the dichotomy of postmodernism and modernism in music therapy, an evaluation of Edward William Elgar’s compositions for patients at Powick Mental Hospital, and music educators’ role and place in music therapy, among others. The book represents essential reading for those interested in the field of music therapy studies in Turkey, and also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary studies.

The book critically examines social dialogue processes and mechanisms in Turkey at various levels, with focus on the workplace because it is shaped by socio-cultural elements which contain many variables. The book also identifies the shortcomings and structural impediments of social dialogue, and provides an empirically grounded theoretical explanation of social...
Robert Nisbet, Batı’nın refah toplumunda yazmış bir “kriz” sosyoloğudur. Onu kriz sosyoloğu yapan, 20. yüzyılda içinde yaşadığı modern Batı toplumunun bunalımıdır. Bu bunalım 19. yüzyılda yaşanan tarihsel-toplumsal krizin sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kriz ise Fransız ve Endüstri devrimleriyle başlayan tarihsel ve toplumsal bir sürecin, geleneksel aracı kurumların çöküşünün, gücün merkezileşmesinin ve sekülerleşmenin ürünüdür. Başka bir deyişle, gelenekçilik ve modernizm arasındaki çatışmanın neticesidir. Nisbet’i kriz sosyoloğu yapan diğer husus, sosyolojinin doğuşunu modern toplumu doğuran krizle açıklamasıdır. Sosyol...
