Philosophical Anthropology Studies
Mengüşoğlu, who has pioneered philosophical anthropology studies in Turkey, has exceeded Western philosophical tradition in one dimension by establishing a philosophical anthropology tradition in Turkey that assumes human beings exist within a sphere of their own actions and potential. Hence, he brought such questions to the heart of philosophy in Turkey. However, his work was not continued by his followers in a way that allowed a traditional formation, in terms of sources and foundations, of philosophical anthropology. This study aims to analyze the life of Mengüşoğlu, the limits of his “philosophical-anthropology,” and its philosophical experience and questions. In this context, this study delves into the ruptures and transformations witnessed in the field of philosophical anthropology which has not found a principal position within academic philosophy in Turkey.
