Julian Barnes’s novel The Only Story (2018) can be read as a monograph on the complications of love. By focalising the narrative situations and events through the consistently transforming perspective of a failed lover, Barnes shows how digging into the past events through the awakening lens of memory can lead to previously censored selfrealizations. Set in three interconnected parts, The Only Story increasingly changes into a disintegrating process of an unconventional love affair between a late adolescent and a middle-aged married woman. Considering this, the present article has two goals. By relying on Jacques Lacan’s theory of love, the paper shows how in The Only Story Barnes presents an ever-changing, or illusory definition/experience of love. Besides that, and by drawing on Julia Kristeva’s definition of the concept shared singularity, the paper argues how by setting the main part of narrative in the revolutionary decade of 1960s, Barnes presents the difficulty of any cohabitation, combination, dialogue, or sharing between the two opposing egos and discourses. The primary aim of this paper, therefore, is to show how the narrator and his partner fail in maintaining their love affair through building a shared singularity between themselves.

The main goal of this article is to examine the link between the idea of language, being and nothingness by comparing 16th century Turkish-Azeri poet Fuzûlî’s poetry and 20th century German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s philosophy departing from the latter’s thinking of being. There are similarities between Heidegger and Fuzûlî’s respective thoughts concerning the role of the human being’s relation to finitude which grounds the relationship between being and nothingness. The article consists of three sections. The first section makes sense of Heidegger’s early and late thought in terms of its ontological unity, explaining the ways in which being and nothingness topologically co-determine one another in poetic language. The second section focuses on clarifying the sources that nourish Fuzûlî’s poetry, such as Sufism and the literary style of “Rind” as observed in classical Ottoman poetry, elucidating how these influences underpin the philosophical foundations of Fuzûlî’s poetry. The third section offers a philosophical interpretation of Fuzûlî’s lyric poems by illustrating how and why being and nothingness are not to be thought as mere opposites, pointing out their ontological belonging together. In the concluding section, it is argued that a poetic mode of existence necessitates an authentic experience of human finitude both for Heidegger and Fuzûlî. Although Fuzûlî’s poetry involves onto-theological influences from Sufism, Fuzûli manages to form an original idea of poetic existence, emphasizing that the poetic agent needs to take a step back from the mundane world of multitudes in order to unify with Being itself. As for Heidegger, it is doubtful whether there is such a mystical idea of being. Nonetheless, for both figures the more originary experience of finite human existence lies in the poetic interplay between being and nothingness. The poetic meaning of being comes to manifest itself in the process of one’s existential annihilation, which takes place in the movement of being-towards-death. Accordingly, exploring how the meaning of being requires the poetic experience of nothingness and how such an experience appears through language in Fuzûlî’s lyric poems provides a more comprehensive account of his thinking.

According to Aristotle, it is possible for man to reach its goal and realize its nature, that is, to be “human” in the real sense, by acting in accordance with the reason and virtue. However, the ability of a person to realize its nature by doing virtuous actions based on reason depends on the combination of certain social conditions as well as individual structural characteristics. It is the main aim, responsibility of politics, the political society (state) to create the set of circumstances necessary for individuals to realize themselves and actualize the human capacities they have. Therefore, politics and state are directly related to human nature and the realization of its eidos. However, every kind form of government of the state cannot create the appropriate conditions and environment necessary for the realization of human nature. In other words, there is a bond between the realization of human nature and the nature of politics which is impossible to break and this bond cannot be established in all types of political organization or form of government of the state. It is of vital importance not to think of ethics and politics separately in order for this bond to be established and for the emergence of a political society and state in which people can realize their nature. Therefore, this study aims to draw attention to the fact that the realization of human nature cannot be considered independently of ethics and politics, based on Aristotle’s thoughts. In this context it is important to listen to Aristotle’s thoughts, as it allows us to remember the relationship between human nature, ethics and politics, which is often ignored today, and to see why we need ethics in a social sense as well as personally.

Because its intellectual structure depends on logos, Eurocentrism accepts that the West and East have different historical processes and that the West is superior to the East. Logos, on which Western metaphysics and idealism is based, accepts anything irrational outside of the universal-rational framework. The dualism established by logos-centrism underlies the epistemological acceptance that the West and East represent an opposition. Dualism presents the contrasts needed in the understanding of unity in Western philosophy. The distinction between West and East is made and maintained within this intellectual framework. The superiority of reason over emotions is reflected in the opposition of West and East, and this dualist structure constitutes the discourse about the unique position of Western civilization against other civilizations. Within the context of this article, the logos-centric approach, which is the determinant of Western philosophy, will be evaluated through the distinction between West and East in Weber's sociology. For this purpose, Eurocentrism and the logos that form the basis of the approach will be included, and the position of the logos in Western philosophy will be mentioned in line with Derrida's thoughts. Finally, the reflections of logos in the works of Weber, who we claim to have a Eurocentric philosophy, will be discussed through the concepts of administration, capitalism, religion and urbanization through the concepts of West and East.

One of the most important elements of democratic systems is the press. The press has many functions such as enlightening and educating the society, controlling the government and directing its activities, creating public opinion. Because of these functions, the importance of the media's relationship with the events in the political arena, especially in democratic systems, becomes evident. Considering its impact on the developments in the political arena in the history of the Turkish press, it is seen that Akis magazine has an important place. As a result of the felt need for weekly political news magazines with the transition to multi-party life in Turkey, Akis magazine started to be published by Metin Toker on 15 May 1954. Considering both the DP practices before the 27 May revolution and its struggle to ensure the democratic system in the events that followed the revolution, it can be said that the magazine undertook the mission of the fourth force in democratic systems. At this point, one of the developments in which this struggle of the magazine will be clearly seen is the event of the 14s among the developments experienced in the period after the revolution. As it is known, after the May 27 revolution, 14 officers who wanted to rule the country with a military regime were purged from the MBK on 13 November 1960. In this study, it has been tried to examine and evaluate the way the 14s, which were liquidated from the MBK after the military intervention on 27 May, were handled in Akis magazine. Thus, it was aimed to reveal what kind of public opinion was wanted to create about 14s in Akis magazine, one of the important media organs of the period. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that Akis magazine was against the 14s. In this framework, it was seen that the magazine put forward its approach with a critical attitude regarding the 13 November operation and the activities of the 14s in the following period. At this point, it was determined that Akis took an approach towards the 14s incident, in favor of the continuity of the democratic system and with a pro-CHP attitude.
