Öğe A Moving Carriage of Similes: Robert Musil and The Perfecting of a Love(Ohio State Univ Press, 2025) Turner, Zeynep Talay; Turner, CharlesRobert Musil described his novella The Perfecting of a Love as a failure. In this paper it is suggested why he might have judged it so. The failure, if that is what it is, is attributed to an undisciplined use of simile. To that end the paper constructs a spectrum of imaginative license, defined through four points or waystations. The first three are: i) metaphors we live by; ii) relative metaphors social scientists live by; and iii) absolute metaphors poets and philosophers live by. These correspond to three ways in which thinking subjects itself to a communal discipline: the discipline of a community in everyday life, the discipline of a social science, and the discipline of poetry and philosophy. A fourth stage is then identified, called here: iv) simile running wild. It was here that Musil's striving for precision in matters of the soul resulted in something more akin to an individual's private counter-discipline.Öğe Deprem Sonrası Sahayı ve Gönüllülüğü Konuşmak(2023) Bekmen, Aslı Silahdaroğlu; Semercı, Pınar Uyan; Durmuş, Gözde; Turner, Zeynep Talay; Beyazova, Ayşe[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Emotions and Evaluative Judgments(2018) Turner, Zeynep TalayThere has been an ongoing debate on whether emotions are evaluative judgments, and as such cognitive.Though philosophers, who commit themselves to the idea that emotions are constituted or structured byevaluative judgments, provide us with very rich accounts of the nature of emotions, they downplay itsethical dimension. In order to correct this we should focus on particular emotions. Here I focus oncompassion and conclude that though there is an intrinsic relationship between emotions and evaluativejudgments this is not necessarily a one-sided one. Finally, I claim that any suspension of judgment(Arendt on Eichmann) can lead to a state of indifference, or an emotion-free state. And here I aminterested in the ethical consequences of such a state, namely that with the suspension of judgment andaccordingly of emotions, it is much easier for someone to avoid any moral action, and accordingly anysense of accountability.Öğe Emotions and Literature in Musil(EDIZIONI ETS, 2019-07) Turner, Zeynep TalayThe question of how literature can evoke emotions is a familiar one, as is the idea that a good work of literature arouses the right emotion in the right place through our capacity for sympathy. However, there is no consensus on how this works, partly because there is no agreement on the nature of emotions. One figure that contributes to both of these topics is Robert Musil. As a thinker and as a novelist, he had both a theory of emotions and a novelistic treatment of them. His novels are notable, however, for the way in which they do not appeal to the reader's capacity for sympathy, owing partly to the formlessness of his characters. Yet it is precisely the gap he creates between fiction and emotional reality that allows for a richer investigation of the relationship between emotions and literature.Öğe Nietzsche on Memory and Active Forgetting(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Turner, Zeynep TalayThis article explores Nietzsche's approach to the fundamental question of how to live one's life, and more specifically his view of the role of the past in seeking an answer to this question. By discussing Nietzsche's views of how different nations and cultures relate to their history, I suggest some comparisons with how individuals might do so. Common to both is the relationship between the past as a resource and as a burden: the burden of single events or periods and the burden of the abundance of facts. Key to Nietzsche's thinking on these questions is his account of the relationship between remembering, promising, and forgetting. He considers active forgetting paradoxically as both a form of forgetting and a way of taking full responsibility for the past.Öğe Özel dosya: eleştirel hümanizm ve ekoloji(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2022-09-30) Turner, Zeynep Talay; Yazıcı, Çiğdem; Ejder, Özge[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Relational autonomy: a spinozistic approach(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2022-01-31) Turner, Zeynep TalayABSTRACT: This paper examines a reconfiguration of the notion of Kantian autonomy with a feminist perspective. While most feminist philos-ophers have been suspicious about the concept as it is loaded with assumptions about selfhood, identity and agency that are met-aphysically, epistemologically, ethically and politically problematic terms, some feminists argue that the notion is indispensable in understanding as well as fighting against the discrimination against and objectification of women. In doing so, some turn to Spinoza, arguing that Spinoza’s notion of the self and his ethics can be helpful in rethinking the idea of the autonomous individual. Here the key term for connecting Spinoza’s theory with the feminist approach on autonomy is “relational autonomy.”Öğe Self-Deception and Self-Narration: Linklater’s Tape(Springer Nature, 2024) Turner, Zeynep TalayThere is a voluminous literature on the problem of self-deception in both philosophy and psychology. Is it possible to deceive ourselves and if so, how do we do so? One answer to the last question might be that: we do so through and in the course of self-narration. An example of such is the narration of events we have been involved in the past. In this chapter I investigate the relationship between self-deception and self-narration through Richard Linklater’s film Tape (2001). In doing so, my aim is to see how and in what ways the film casts light on questions in the scholarly literature, and vice versa. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Öğe Self-deception as a Philosophical Problem(Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) Turner, Zeynep Talay[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Sincerity and the Ideal of the Authentic Self: Melville's Bartleby(Johns Hopkins Univ Press, 2025) Turner, Zeynep TalayThe figure of Bartleby has puzzled many thinkers. Interpretations vary, but the common point in many accounts is that Bartleby is beyond any conceptualization. In this paper I will ask whether he can nevertheless be understood in terms of the problem of authenticity. I will initially follow Lionel Trilling's famous argument, that is, the ethical ideal of the authentic self had replaced an earlier one he called sincerity, and that Bartleby, being an authentic figure, can be treated as an illustration of this. Then, I will take the discussion further by examining Bartleby via Giorgio Agamben's account of ethics.
