How Did I (or Couldn't I) Become a Logician?

Abdulkadir Çüçen

Displaying the stages of my expedition in logic, the purpose of this essay is to admit how I have been involved in the field of logic from time to time –and how, sometimes, I have not. Therefore, starting from my undergraduate years, I shared my first acquaintance with logic and the following processes. My interest in logic has continued after my graduation and throughout my teaching life, and has never decreased. My education in logic started at the Faculty of Languages, History and Geography, and continued at the Middle East Technical University and then at the University of Pittsburgh. I have contributed to the field of logic with the courses that I instructed after finishing my PhD, and along with my studies on logic, yet my competence in this field has not always satisfied me. That is why I have always asked myself: To what degree I am a logician? This essay, which is a kind of short autobiography, also allows me to respectfully acknowledge the logicians who contributed to me. This essay, which also sheds light on the past 40 years of the logic studies in our country, demonstrates the current level of logic studies. The continuation of the studies under the umbrella of the Logic Association would provide a positive impact on the logic studies in our country.

Nasıl Mantıkçı Oldum ya da Olamadım?

Abdulkadir Çüçen

Bu denemenin amacı, mantık serüvenimin aşamalarını ortaya koyarak nasıl mantık alanına zaman zaman dahil olduğumu nasıl dahil olamadığımı itiraf etmektir. Bu nedenle lisans yıllarımdan başlayarak mantık ile olan ilk tanışmamı ve daha sonraki süreçleri de aldım. Lisans sonrası süreçte ve öğretim hayatında da devam eden mantıkla olan ilgim hiç azalmadı. Dil ve Tarih Coğrafya Fakültesi ile başlayan mantık öğrenimim, Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi ve Daha sonra University of Pittsburgh’ta devam etti. Doktora sonrası verdiğim dersler ve yaptığım mantık çalışmaları ile alana zaman zaman katkı yaptım, ama yine de bu alandaki yetkinliğim her zaman benim için yeterli olmadı. Bu nedenle kendime hep sordum: Ne kadar mantıkçıyım? Bir tür kısa otobiyografi türünde olan bu deneme, aynı zamanda bana katkı yapan mantıkçıları da burada saygı ile anmamı sağlamaktadır. Ülkemizdeki mantık çalışmalarının son 40 yılına da ışık tutacak bu deneme, mantık çalışmalarının da geldiği seviyeyi göstermektedir. Şu an Mantık Derneği çatısı altında, çalışmaların devam etmesi, Ülkemizdeki mantık çalışmalarını olumlu yönde etkileyecektir.
