Philosophy (Thesis) (English)

Ibn Haldun University Philosophy Department, Master's program proposes a pluralistic program with lessons from the traditions of Western philosophy, based on Ancient, Islamic, Turkish, and Continental Europe. The program covers current issues such as animal rights, climate crisis, artificial intelligence, ethics, and feminism. It aims to give philosophical formation according to this pluralistic program structure. In addition, students can specialize in the field they want with their chosen courses. Ibn Haldun University Master's program is considered a preliminary stage of the doctoral program planned to be launched in the future. With its versatile formation, the program considers it among its aims to train academicians who can examine the tradition of Islamic philosophy as a historical phenomenon and in the context of contemporary philosophy.

The program brings together theories and perspectives that emerged in the history of philosophy in a meaningful way, taking into account classical and modern discussions. In this framework, the curriculum has gained rich content with courses on Turkish thought and philosophy, Continental European philosophy, especially philosophy of science, covering the Ancient Age, Islamic philosophy, Seljuk, Ottoman, and Republican periods.
