Kualia Analitik Felsefe Dergisi
Analytical philosophy, as it is generally accepted, is a discipline that is underrepresented in Turkey. As Kualia Magazine, we want to add experience to analytical philosophy studies in Turkey and we do this based on two basic observations.
Firstly, analytical philosophy has become the star of a semi-popular trend in our country, in which individuals who want to belong to a subculture against the continental philosophy in general seek refuge and the identity of belonging to the school is emphasized rather than the content of the school. Since some studies carried out to introduce analytical philosophy cannot go beyond the efforts of searching, understanding and interpreting the truth, which is the historical problem of philosophy, the contents of the analytic philosophy school in a random way without serving any order, systematic structure or purpose. Rather than promoting it, they contributed to reinforcing this school and the existing subculture of particular views within it.
Secondly, while we recognize that analytical philosophy in general is a highly autonomous discipline, we advocate an approach that allows it to interact more with other disciplines. In our opinion, philosophy's making sense of the phenomena presented by natural sciences, social sciences, religion, art and everyday life in its own autonomy, using the methodology of analytical philosophy as a tool, adds a deep richness to the search for truth, but prevents an isolated chain of thought, interdisciplinary, provides a lively exchange of information and ideas.
Based on these observations, we can say that we aim our journal to serve two main purposes:
- To introduce the analytical philosophy systematically and regularly, addressing different levels of difficulty,
- To show the relationship of analytical philosophy with other disciplines, to introduce studies in this field and to contribute to this orientation.
