Department of Philosophy
Hello, my name Tahsin Gorgun. I am the head of the Department of philosophy of the Faculty of the University of Istanbul 29 Mayis. In this section, I'd like to tell you briefly what we do. Of course our business is philosophy. Philosophy is usually thought. In fact, everything is the subject of philosophy. People's everyday life, how they relate to each other, relations with institutions, institutions of people's existence, shows that people are faced with the subject of philosophy everyday. Due to the fact that the subject of the philosophy of everything in a way, it becomes difficult to identify what is philosophy. But I would like to express that; faced with that philosophy, the people who actually met with the philosophy of a different idea still continue to live their lives. Each topic will be of interest to them and the fact that they were interested in any matter within the framework of their own point of view, a philosophy-related rate value. There are some features of the philosophy department, I believe that it would be useful to express here briefly. We do not believe Philospophy only belongs to the Western world. We actually think Philosphy was revealed in Turkey, and the whole Islamic world in the past, we need to research and discuss these ideas. We are also interested in the Philosophy, French, English, Arabic and Latin speaking areas. What does that mean? In fact, here we are preparing our students for the whole of humanity through the accumulation of this assessment, to show problems faced by people now and how to evaluate it in a meaningful way in a sense, understand and solve. We have a wide variety of courses. Our students have gained skills such as written and verbal descriptions, especially in writing. Indeed, so far, our graduates show us what they have learned with their final thesis. Philosophy graduates themselves develop very well. So when they graduate they can be a teacher in various fields, but also in a wide range of fields such as copywriting, a consultant to the series, a columnist in the newspaper, but also works in a wide range of fields such as critics. They live life, participating in environments from the point of view of life and a higher rating because they have become desirable everywhere. One last thing I have to say, our particular Department is preparing our students for academic life. So after graduation, in a very comfortable way you can participate in the master's and doctoral degree programs. If you want you can take courses in Latin, Arabic, French, German and Farsi. Which will provide you with more opprtunities in the future. One-third of our lessons are in in English, so you will have learned English already. This will develop yourself and develop basic infrastructure for academic life in Turkey after you have graduated. The University also offers an opportunity for improving yourself. Most Philosophy majors have a higher chance of finding job placement than any other departments. The Philosophy department is one of the most popular in Istanbul 29 Mayis University. There's always the possibility of a double major like philosophy to a student studying psychology. You can use any department within the University for your double major. We highly encourage this. The Philosophy students and department support and get support from other departments. Istanbul 29 Mayis University will open their main campus in Umraniye near the Government Hospital. It is currently under construction. For now our functioning campus is in Baglarbasi in the ISAM (Islamic Research Center) building. For those who do not know about ISAM I can tell you that it is one of Turkey’s best libraries especially in the Social Science areas. Many Researches from around the world come to the ISAM library. In Turkey, journalist, academics, intelects and television host all use the library. They always consult with the Isam library.
