In this article, it has been aimed to examine Nietzsche’s main critique towards different understandings of morals in his era. With this criticism, it is aimed to integrally understand the opinions -which are articulated directly or metaphorically- towards morals which have been encountered. In here, while keeping in mind the difference between the concepts of immoralism and amoralism, Nietzsche’s views are interpreted. Being parallel to that aim mentioned above, it has been investigated if there is a thinking in Nietzsche which (...) can be seen as a kind of understanding of morals (maybe as the understanding of morals without morals) or not. And finally, it has been thought that if Nietzsche’s views on morals have any value for the 21st century and upcoming 22nd century human or not, whether there’s something left to learn for this human from his critiques or not.

Ahlak, 21.yüzyıl insanının dikkate alması gereken temel bir varlık alanıdır. Bu alan içinde, bireysel ve toplumsal yaşamı yönlendiren erdem ve erdemsizlik tartışması önemli bir yer tutar. Bu makalede, Mevlana’nın görüşlerine özel atıfla, bir erdemsizlik örneği olarak vefasızlık üzerinde durulmaktadır.

The mind-body problem is a central problem of modern philosophy. Leibniz’s Monadology as a model of a solution is picked up again and again even today. In order to characterize three of these completely different new monadologies of today, the basic difficulty of the mind-body-problem is outlined as a background, followed by a short sketch of the Leibnitian solution. - The first new monadology, here, is the metaphysical solution of U. Meixner, who chooses consciousness as a fundament, seeing a monad (...) as a stream of consciousness. This is contrasted with a second new monadology, namely N. Rescher’s process-theoretical approach, which takes the monad not as a substance, but as a process. The third new monadology is the quantum monadology of T. Nakagomi, where the monad is embedded in a quantum ontological concept that elaborates a reconciliation of the macroscopic, material world with a quantum theoretical world of consciousness, both sides seen as an interpretation. Finally there are some reflections on a merger of elements of these three concepts of monadology for an approach of today. (shrink)

Kant a consacre les dernieres annees de sa vie a l'ecriture d'un ample texte intitule Passage des principes metaphysiques de la science de la nature a la physique et qui, acheve, aurait ete la clef de voute de sa philosophie critique. Occupe depuis la Critique de la raison pure par la question de la liberte morale au sein d'un monde domine par la science et sa vision mecaniciste de la nature, Kant cherche dans l'Opus postumum a mettre au jour une (...) nouvelle fois l'identite fondamentale entre la raison theorique et la raison pratique, en appliquant alors a la nature un transcendantalisme materiel. Selon lui, l'identite des deux raisons releve en derniere instance d'une raison infinie divien qui sous-tend le systeme de la raison dans son ensemble. (shrink)
