Platon'un ve Kant'ın idea anlayışlarının eleştirisi ve bir medeniyet ideası önerisi

The discussions around the idea of civilization encounter considerable difficulties by the very fact of the philosophical vagueness of the concept of idea. To resolve this problem, this thesis proposes a criticism of Platonic and Kantian theories and defines a new approach to the theory of ideas. According to this approach, ideas and objects that are in their extension, must share the same ontological and epistemological ground. Starting from this observation, our work aims to develop new contributions for the contemporary discussions about civilizations.
