Master's - Felsefe BölümüI am currently pursuing my master’s degree in the Department of Philosophy at Dokuz Eylül University, from which I graduated. My goal is to conduct research particularly on Enlightenment philosophy.
2021 - 2024
Bachelor’s - PhiloshopyI graduated third in rank from the Department of Philosophy at Dokuz Eylül University. Doing philosophy is, to a large extent, reflecting on language, and I developed my language skills to the level of a language teacher by improving them in a technical sense. I have had a particular interest in the philosophy of language, and that interest continues.
