The Apriority of Individuation

Egemen Seyfettin Kuşcu

It has been thought that statements in ordinary language or in philosophicalscientific language capture reality from different sides. But this process, which is typically considered to be a mere linguistic process, can cause us to think (incorrectly) that we make subjective categorizations. In this paper we assert that understanding which is considered to be incorrect must be cancelled and that the individuated objects cannot be individuated only becouse of our naming of them. Individuation of objects is an independent state of affairs. So it must be accepted that the particular, individual entities have their individual characteristics independently and also a different ontological theory based on that understanding must be satisfied. 

Keywords: Individuality, object, property, part, reductionism, nature

Bireyleşimin Önselliği

Egemen Seyfettin Kuşcu

Gündelik dil içerisinde ya da felsefe-bilimde kullandığımız cümlelerin gerçekliği başka bağlamlarda yakaladıkları düşünülmektedir. Ancak yalnızca dil içerisinde kalınarak kurgulanan bu süreç bizim tamamen öznel bakımdan bölümlemeler yaptığımız yanılgısının ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Bu yazıda bu yanılgının ortadan kaldırılması gerektiği, birlikli olduğu düşünülen şeylere yalnızca dilde bir ad vermiş olmaktan kaynaklı olarak birlikli olarak bakamayacağımız gösterilecektir. Dolayısıyla (farklı düzeylerde farklı birlikler olabilir olsa da) birlikli yapıların varoldukları kabul edilmeli ve buna dayanan bir ontoloji kurgulanmalıdır.

Keywords: Birliklilik, nesne, özellik, parça, indirgemecilik, doğa
