Volume 10: Philosophy of Religion
The present volume is a continuation of the series Contemporary Philosophy. As with the earlier volumes in the series, the present Chronicles purport to give a survey of significant trends in contemporary philosophy. The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased rather than decreased over the years. The philosophical scene appears, for various reasons, more complex than ever before. The continuing process of specialization in most branches, the increasing contact between p- losophers from various cultures, the emergence of new schools of thought, particularly in philosophical logic and in the philosophy of language and ethics, and the increasing attention being paid to the h- tory of p...
Civil Society, Religion, and the Nation
Japan, Russia, and Turkey are major examples of countries with different ethnic, religious, and cultural background that embarked on the path of modernization without having been colonized by a Western country. In all three cases, national consciousness has played a significant role in this context. The project of Modernity is obviously of European origin, but is it essentially European? Does modernization imply loss of a country's cultural or national identity? If so, what is the "fate" of the modernization process in these cases? The presence of the idea and reality of civil society can be considered a real marker of Modernity in this respect, because it presupposes the development of liberalism, individualism and human rights. But are these compatible with nationalism and with the idea of a national religion? These questions are the more pressing, as Japan is considered part of the Western world in many respects, and Russia and Turkey are defining their relation to the European Union in different ways. An investigation of these three countries, set off against more general reflections, sheds light on the possibilities or limitations of modernization n a non-European context.

Tarihselci Düşünce Işığında Bilim, Ahlak ve Siyaset
“Alan olarak felsefeyi hiçbir felsefe tipinin tekeline bırakmamak gerekir.” – Doğan Özlem Tarihselci Düşünce Işığında Bilim, Ahlak ve Siyaset Doğan Özlem’in felsefe-içi kavramlara ve sorulara olduğu kadar ülkemizde ve dünyada yaşanan sorunlara, olaylara yönelik bakışını ve yorumlarını içeren yazılardan oluşuyor. Doğan Özlem tarihselci düşüncenin ışığında bakıldığında, “hukuk devleti”, “insan hakları”, “bireyin özgürlüğü”, “adalet”, “evrenselcilik” gibi albenili kavramların, uygulamada kapitalizmin vahşetini gizleyen, Batı’nın dünya üzerindeki egemenliğini perçinlemeye yarayan bir işlev taşıdığına işaret ederek, liberalizmin ekonomik yönü ile siyasal yönü arasındaki karşıtlığı da ortaya koyuyor. Özlem pozitivizmden liberalizme ve neoliberalizme yönelik eleştiri ve yorumlarında da, fikir ve siyaset hayatımızı Batı patentli fikir ve öğretilerin yönlendirmesine karşı çıkan bir tutum ortaya koymakla, pozitivizmin üstünü örttüğü “tarih bilinci”ni yeşertmeye çalışıyor.
