Bu soru yaln\u0131zca tarihsel bir eksikli\u011fi sorgulamaz; ayn\u0131 zamanda felsefenin hangi ko\u015fullarda m\u00fcmk\u00fcn oldu\u011fu, hangi toplumsal yap\u0131larda k\u00f6k salabildi\u011fi \u00fczerine d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmeyi zorunlu k\u0131lar.<\/p>\n

Felsefe \u00e7o\u011fu zaman basit\u00e7e \u201cd\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmek\u201d olarak anla\u015f\u0131l\u0131r. Oysa insanl\u0131k tarihinin hemen her d\u00f6neminde ve co\u011frafyas\u0131nda d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce vard\u0131r. Mitler, kutsal metinler, kozmogoniler ve ahlaki \u00f6\u011fretiler yo\u011fun d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnsel \u00fcr\u00fcnlerdir. Felsefeyi bunlardan ay\u0131ran \u015fey, d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncenin kendisini de sorgulama cesaretidir. Felsefe, hakikatin kayna\u011f\u0131n\u0131 gelene\u011fin, otoritenin ya da kutsal\u0131n d\u0131\u015f\u0131na \u00e7ekerek, akl\u0131 kendi kendisinin \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fct\u00fc h\u00e2line getirmeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131r. Bu nedenle felsefe yaln\u0131zca zihinsel bir etkinlik de\u011fil, ayn\u0131 zamanda toplumsal ve politik bir imk\u00e2nd\u0131r. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc sorgulaman\u0131n cezas\u0131z olabildi\u011fi, farkl\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015flerin yan yana var olabildi\u011fi bir alan olmadan felsefi d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce ya do\u011fmaz ya da k\u0131sa s\u00fcrede suskunlu\u011fa zorlan\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Mezopotamya ve Anadolu, insanl\u0131k tarihinin en eski ve en zengin k\u00fclt\u00fcrel havzalar\u0131ndan biridir. Yaz\u0131n\u0131n icad\u0131, hukukun sistemle\u015fmesi, matematiksel hesaplar, astronomik g\u00f6zlemler ve t\u0131bbi pratikler bu co\u011frafyalarda ortaya \u00e7\u0131km\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Bu durum, bu b\u00f6lgelerde d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncenin ya da bilginin eksik oldu\u011funu s\u00f6ylemeyi imk\u00e2ns\u0131z k\u0131lar. Ancak bu bilgi b\u00fcy\u00fck \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fcde pratik, i\u015flevsel ve y\u00f6netsel bir karakter ta\u015f\u0131r. Bilgi, saray ve tap\u0131nak \u00e7evresinde toplanm\u0131\u015f, rahipler ve y\u00f6neticiler taraf\u0131ndan korunmu\u015f ve aktar\u0131lm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Bu yap\u0131 i\u00e7inde bilginin amac\u0131, d\u00fcnyay\u0131 anlamaktan \u00e7ok d\u00fczeni s\u00fcrd\u00fcrmek olmu\u015ftur. B\u00f6yle bir ba\u011flamda bilginin kendisinin sorgulanmas\u0131, yani \u201cBu bilgi neden do\u011frudur?\u201d sorusu, sistemi tehdit eden bir eylem olarak alg\u0131lanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Dolay\u0131s\u0131yla sorun felsefenin yoklu\u011fu de\u011fil, bilginin felsefeye d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015femeyecek kadar kutsalla\u015ft\u0131r\u0131lmas\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Antik Yunan \u00f6rne\u011fi bu noktada a\u00e7\u0131klay\u0131c\u0131d\u0131r. Yunan d\u00fcnyas\u0131nda felsefenin ortaya \u00e7\u0131k\u0131\u015f\u0131, k\u00fclt\u00fcrel ya da zihinsel bir \u00fcst\u00fcnl\u00fckle a\u00e7\u0131klanamaz. Belirleyici olan, siyasal ve toplumsal yap\u0131d\u0131r. \u015eehir-devletlerin par\u00e7al\u0131 yap\u0131s\u0131, tek ve mutlak bir iktidar\u0131n yoklu\u011fu, yurtta\u015flar\u0131n kamusal alanda tart\u0131\u015fmaya kat\u0131labilmesi, d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncenin \u00e7at\u0131\u015fmal\u0131 ama canl\u0131 bir bi\u00e7imde dola\u015f\u0131mda olmas\u0131n\u0131 sa\u011flam\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Sokrates\u2019in yarg\u0131lanmas\u0131 ve idam edilmesi bile, paradoksal bi\u00e7imde, sorgulay\u0131c\u0131 bir fig\u00fcr\u00fcn ortaya \u00e7\u0131kabilece\u011fi bir alan\u0131n varl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6sterir. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc b\u00f6yle bir alan olmasayd\u0131, Sokrates yaln\u0131zca susturulmu\u015f de\u011fil, hi\u00e7 var olmam\u0131\u015f olurdu. Bu nedenle felsefe huzurlu bir \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck ortam\u0131nda de\u011fil, belirsizlikle ve \u00e7at\u0131\u015fmayla i\u00e7 i\u00e7e ge\u00e7mi\u015f bir \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck alan\u0131nda do\u011far.<\/p>\n

Bu noktada \u00f6zg\u00fcr d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce mi felsefeyi do\u011furur, yoksa felsefe mi \u00f6zg\u00fcr d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnceyi yarat\u0131r sorusu anlam de\u011fi\u015ftirir. Tarihsel deneyim, bu ikisinin birbirini tek y\u00f6nl\u00fc olarak belirlemedi\u011fini, aksine birlikte ortaya \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 ve birlikte bast\u0131r\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6sterir. \u00d6zg\u00fcr d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce alan\u0131 darald\u0131\u011f\u0131nda ilk zarar g\u00f6ren felsefe olur; felsefe susturuldu\u011funda ise bilim ele\u015ftirel niteli\u011fini kaybeder ve dogmaya d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015f\u00fcr. Ortado\u011fu tarihinde siyasal iktidar\u0131n kutsalla\u015fmas\u0131, d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncenin politik alanla temas\u0131n\u0131 tehlikeli h\u00e2le getirmi\u015f, bu da felsefenin kamusal bir etkinlik olarak k\u00f6k salmas\u0131n\u0131 engellemi\u015ftir. Bu nedenle d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce ya mistik i\u00e7e kapan\u0131\u015flara y\u00f6nelmi\u015f ya da kelam gibi savunmac\u0131 ve s\u0131n\u0131rlar\u0131 belirlenmi\u015f bi\u00e7imler alm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.
\nBilimin geli\u015fmemesi meselesi de bu ba\u011flamdan ba\u011f\u0131ms\u0131z de\u011fildir. Bilim yaln\u0131zca teknik bilgi \u00fcretimi de\u011fildir; yanl\u0131\u015flanabilirlik ilkesine dayan\u0131r. Yanl\u0131\u015flanabilirlik ise otoriteye meydan okumay\u0131, yerle\u015fik do\u011frular\u0131n sorgulanabilmesini gerektirir. E\u011fer hakikat, Tanr\u0131 ad\u0131na konu\u015fan ya da siyasi g\u00fc\u00e7le i\u00e7 i\u00e7e ge\u00e7mi\u015f bir otorite taraf\u0131ndan belirleniyorsa, bilim ilerlemez; yaln\u0131zca mevcut bilgiyi tekrar eder. Bu nedenle bilimsel devrim, rastlant\u0131sal olarak de\u011fil, d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncenin sek\u00fclerle\u015fti\u011fi, kutsal ve siyasi otoritelerin ele\u015ftirilebilir h\u00e2le geldi\u011fi bir tarihsel ba\u011flamda ortaya \u00e7\u0131km\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Sonu\u00e7 olarak, \u201cfelsefe olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in mi \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck geli\u015fmedi, yoksa \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in mi felsefe geli\u015fmedi?\u201d sorusu, eksik ya da yanl\u0131\u015f bir ikili\u011fe dayan\u0131r. As\u0131l mesele, d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncenin bireysel bir bilgelik olarak kal\u0131p kalmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 ya da kamusal, \u00e7o\u011fulcu ve ele\u015ftirel kurumlara d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015f\u00fcp d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015femedi\u011fidir. Anadolu ve Mezopotamya\u2019da d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce vard\u0131, hatta son derece derin metafizik ve ahlaki sorgulamalar mevcuttu. Ancak bu sorgulamalar, s\u00fcreklilik ta\u015f\u0131yan ve kendini yeniden \u00fcreten felsefi geleneklere d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015femedi. Bu y\u00fczden sorun felsefenin yoklu\u011fu de\u011fil, felsefenin ya\u015fayabilece\u011fi alan\u0131n tarih boyunca daralt\u0131lmas\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Felsefe, entelekt\u00fcel bir s\u00fcs ya da k\u00fclt\u00fcrel bir l\u00fcks de\u011fildir. O, \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck ile belirsizlik aras\u0131ndaki gerilimden do\u011fan bir zorunluluktur. Ne \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck otomatik olarak felsefeyi \u00fcretir ne de felsefe tek ba\u015f\u0131na \u00f6zg\u00fcrl\u00fc\u011f\u00fc garanti eder. Ancak \u015fu neredeyse tarihsel bir yasa gibidir: Bir toplumda soru sormak tehlikeli h\u00e2le geldi\u011fi anda, orada ne felsefe ne bilim uzun s\u00fcre ya\u015fayabilir<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
