    Divine foreknowledge and human freedom in Leibniz philosophy
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010) Çetin, İsmail; İlahiyat Fakültesi
    Philosophers and theologians wrestled with issues concerning free will and determinism, and they exercised a considerable skill and imagination in attempting to resolve them. They not only discussed, with great insight, the problems of causal determinism and the difficulties in ascribing truth value to sentences about the future, but, in addition, they pondered yet another form of determinism: Whether God’s foreknowledge determines all events in the World. Although contemporary philosophers have addressed this issue, the attention given it between the fourth and the seventeenth centuries remains unequalled. This article aims to investigate seventeenth century philosopher Gottfried W. Leibniz’s discussion of divine foreknowledge and human freedom.

    Language metaphor and its implications in George Berkeley’s philosophy
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010) Çetin, İsmail; İlahiyat Fakültesi
    Philosophy since the time of Berkeley has taken many different turns and undergone fluctuations in emphasis, but interest in Berkeley’s thought persists and it is widespread. No contemporary philosopher in any land can afford to bypass him, and many feel compelled to refute him or offer contrasting alternatives if they do not accept his claims. A central feature of Berkeley’s philosophy is his use of a certain metaphor which we can call ‘language metaphor’. This metaphor charecterizes natural world as a language through which God speaks to man, instructing him the ways of caring for himself, enabling him to predict the future, and teaching him how to act. This article aims to investigate ‘language metaphor’ and its implications in Berkeley’s philosophy.

    Some reflections on the concept of ‘timeless God’ in Western thought
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2009) Çetin, İsmail; İlahiyat Fakültesi
    Anyone who is interested in the question of the existence of God has to study first of all the divine attributes; for to say that God exists is to say that there is something that has some attributes. If ‘God exists’ is to be true, then the divine attributes must at least themselves be coherent and compatible. The coherence of the notion of God with His traditional divine attributes is a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for the acceptance of God’s existence. This article investigates the concept of ‘timeless God’ which we meet often in discussions about divine attributes.
