Abstract

Granted that human knowledge is, in fact, possible, I attempt to an-swer the philosophical question i.e., how the metaphysical conditions that make human knowledge possible by reference to the Qur’anic meta-epistemological intuitions. To achieve this, I first examine some philosophical attempts, Kant’s approach, in particular, offering an answer to the question “what makes knowledge possible?” from the transcendental point of view. Then, similarly, I propose that the Qur’anic meta-epistemological intuitions about the relation between human beings and the Divine can shed light on the problem of how human knowledge is, in fact, possible from a Qur'anic perspec-tive.

Özet

Çalışmanın ilk kısmında, biyolojik verilerin yorumlanmasına dair üç prob-lem olarak perspektifin öznelliği, jargonun antroposentrizmi ve çalışmaların perspektif-güdümlülüğünü Heiddegerci bir perspektiften tartışmaktayım. Aka-binde, ahlaki işlevselcilik karşısında ahlaki davranışların niyetsellik içerdiğini sa-vunmakta ve hayvan davranışlarına dair gözlemlerin hayvanlarda niyetsel ahlak olduğu şeklinde yorumlanamayacağını vurgulamaktayım. İkinci kısımda kalıtım çalışmalarındaki özelliklerin tanımlarının muğlâklığını ele almaktayım. Geneti-ğin özelliklere olan katkısının abartılması, azımsanması ve gözden kaçırılması şeklinde, kalıtım çalışmalarının üç yöntemsel kusuruna dikkat çekerek bu ça-lışmaların tanımları neredeyse muğlâklık içermeyen özellikler konusunda da ve-rimli olmadığı kanaatini dile getirmekteyim. Felsefeye kıyasla biyolojiye öncelik verilmesi fikrine katılmayarak, çağdaş biyoloji felsefesinde felsefenin, yorumla-ma konusunda yöntemsel olarak öncelikli olduğunu sonucuna varmaktayım.
