    Nietzsche and Spinoza: thinking freedom
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2016) Department of Philosophy; Turner, Zeynep Talay; Other; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Nietzsche's concept of freedom is premised upon a conception of the relationship between freedom and necessity; here I examine that concept of freedom against the background of the philosophy of Spinoza. Both offer powerful accounts of how freedom and necessity might be reconciled; this essay sets out the difference between them by breaking the problem down into those of selfhood, time, reason and culture. It is concluded that for Nietzsche freedom is always premised upon a relationship of the self to itself, whereas for Spinoza it devolves on a relationship between self and others.

    Korsgaard on self-constitution
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017) Department of Philosophy; Turner, Zeynep Talay; Other; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Christine Korsgaard claims that Kantian moral law means the law of selfconstitution and that unless we fully understand what self-constitution means in Kant, we cannot comprehend Kantian morality. Korsgaard’s idea of selfconstitution is based on the idea that the unity of an action and the unity of an agent are not detachable. In this paper, I will examine Korsgaard’s Kantian notion of the self, and, correspondingly, her idea of a good action. However, in doing so, I will claim that her account of the self begins from an assumption, that is the mind is transparent, in other words, we are completely aware of our desires, motives and inclinations.
