    Prohairesis in aristotle and Epictetus: A comparative study
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2014) Hatipoğlu, Sinem Elkatip
    The concept of prohairesis in Aristotelian ethics, usually translated as deliberate choice or policy decision, is later revived by Epictetus, a major figure among the Stoics. In this paper I critically examine how the concept of prohairesis is employed by Aristotle and by Epictetus and the differences involved. Aristotle’s concept of prohairesis acquires its meaning in a framework according to which we live in a world where at least some things are up to us whereas Epictetus’s concept of prohairesis acquires its meaning in a framework where nothing is up to us. As such, Aristotle’s concept of prohairesis is essentially about choice and assumes freedom and thereby more ethical in character, whereas Epictetus’s concept of prohairesis is used to provide a metaphysical basis for freedom and as such less ethical in character.

    Temporality in Heidegger and Mulla Sadra’s philosophies
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2014) Qorbani, Qodratullah
    Mulla Sadra and Heidegger are two different philosophers, of two separated philosophical traditions, who both concern to the problem of existence, and then time. They try to discover many virtues of time and its relation to existents. Heidegger emphasizes on Dasein for understanding the essence of the Being, he considers an essential relation between time and being by studying many manifestations of Dasein, like temporality. Mulla Sadra takes into consideration all material existents as temporal things and tries to show their essential virtues in the light of time. He considers time as the fourth dimension of everything and the base of its evolutionary movement to spirituality. In this paper, it is tried to comparatively study temporality and time in Mulla Sadra and Heidegger's philosophy, in order to find their similarities and differences.
