Main description: "Das Leben ist kurz. Man nutze das Dasein mit Vernunft und Gerechtigkeit." Die Reflexionen Mark Aurels (121 - 180 n. Chr.), sein Bemühen um Selbsterkenntnis, bilden eines der eindrucksvollsten Zeugnisse der abendländischen Literatur. Der Gegensatz zwischen der weltbeherrschenden Stellung, die er als römischer Kaiser fast zwanzig Jahre innehatte, und der Bescheidenheit, mit der er auftritt und sich selbst sieht, ist ein wichtiger Grund für die Faszination, die dieses im Feldlager entstandene Buch der Weisheit noch heute ausübt.

Reaction through art, observed among the 20th century artistic movements, can result in artistic works in which animals are made the object of violence. The objections caused by these works sometimes make people question what art is and its value, and sometimes result in legal interventions. It is the forms of expression in contemporary art where idea gets ahead of physical production. In such an atmosphere, 'philosophy of art activities that question what art is' have become almost equivalent to artistic production. However, the controversial works make the concepts of ethics, law or public influence determine what art can or cannot be. In the background of all these developments, advances in the field of biology blurred the boundaries between animals and humans. After such developments, through which the anthropocentric thought system has lost its power, the position of animals in the system will also change. The reappraisal of animals will fundamentally affect the behavior of the human species towards them, undoubtedly. In such a system where the determinants of the concept of ethics are redefined, objectification of animals will not be ethical as before. In this regard, art can no longer be separated from other fields. When the determinant of the boundaries of art is a non-art field, the discussions within the field lose their meaning. This study aims to investigate the limits of contemporary art by examining the reactions to the selected examples of artists whose ways of including animals in their productions are criticized.

Corruption is seen in nearly every society since ancient times. However, economic and social costs it caused attracted more attention especially in the last decade. It is widely agreed upon that, corruption affects economic growth and development negatively. In the literature, there is almost a consensus about that corruption of the public officers discourages entrepreneurs, causes inefficiencies and waste of resources, discourages foreign investment, distorts income distribution and harms democracy and ethics. Putting the diagnosis truly and knowing the deep causes of a problem correctly are the most important steps in solving the problem. In this article, first, a survey of the literature on costs of corruption, measurement methods ve causes is given. Then regression analysis are done to find probable causes of corruption in Turkey. Results of the regression analysis show that, corruption has increased in Turkey after trade liberalization. On the otherhand, inflation, weight of pubic in the economy and personel expenditures of the government seems not to be important factors in explaining corruption.

F. H. Jacobi's letter to F. Hemsterhuis is one of the key documents of the so-called Spinoza controversy for many reasons. First, it contains a fictional dialogue between Spinoza and Jacobi where the latter provides a detailed analysis of what he takes to be a genuine content of Ethics. Second, it gives an overview of Jacobi's reception of Hemsterhuis' philosophy of immediacy which is usually overlooked and ignored. Jacobi's position both in the letter and the dialogue boils down to three main points: 1/ unlike Hemsterhuis (and the whole generation Wolffian philosophers) Jacobi does not attribute too much importance to geometrical method of Spinozian metaphysics, his main concern lies rather in the absolute rationalism, grounded in the principle a nihilo nihil fit; 2/ against Spinoza (who represents the pinnacle of the rationalist philosophy), Jacobi defends the reality of final cause as the intelligent cause of the world and the possibility of human free will; 3/ instead of reason, he advocates the immediacy of belief based on the feeling which gives us the certitude of being and knowledge without requiring any rational justification.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, whistleblowing kavramının önemini ortaya koymak, mevcut bilgi birikimini görünür kılmak, bu alana katkıda bulunacak gelecekteki araştırmalar için bir yol haritası çizmek ve whistleblowing üzerine yapılan yayınların bibliyometrik profilini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Web of Science Core Collection (WOS) veri tabanında, başlığında, özetinde veya anahtar kelimelerinde "whistleblowing" ifadesini içeren çalışmalar taranmıştır. Herhangi bir yıl kısıtlaması yapılmamış, dil olarak sadece İngilizce yayınlar ve WOS kategorisi olarak Ethics (Etik), Business (İşletme), Management (Yönetim), Business Finance (İşletme Finansmanı), Public Administration (Kamu Yönetimi), Economics (Ekonomi), Political Science (Siyaset Bilimi), Nursing (Hemşirelik), Industrial Relations Labor (Endüstriyel İlişkiler ve İşgücü), Social Science Interdiciplinary (Disiplinlerarası Sosyal Bilimler) adlı 10 alan seçilmiştir. Bu kısıtlamalar sonucunda toplam 704 yayından oluşan veri setine ulaşılmıştır. R yazılımı aracılığıyla elde edilen veriler kullanılarak bibliyometrik bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler, whistleblowing ile ilgili yayınların, kaynakların, yazarların, ülkelerin, anahtar kelimelerin yıl, atıf ve sıklık kriterlerine ilişkin performanslarını ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma ayrıca konu çerçevesinde oluşan kavramsal, entellektüel ve sosyal yapıları da görünür kılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarının whistleblowing konusunda çalışma yapan araştırmacılara konunun ana hatlarını, konuyla ilgili eğilimleri ve yayınlanan en önemli dergi ile makaleleri göstermesi, kurumların, ülkelerin ve yazarların kavramla ilgili bilimsel yayın performanslarını değerlendirmesi, birbirini tekrar eden araştırmaların önüne geçilmesi ve literatürdeki araştırma boşluğunu gidermeye çalışması açısından faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

In the 1990s, Kurds living in Mardin and the surrounding provinces were subjected to various pressures, forced migration, and negative treatment such as village evacuation. Veysi Altay's documentary "Bir" (The Well) tells the story of the disappearance of seven people, three of whom are children after they were detained in the Dargeçit district of Mardin in 1995, and the search for them by their relatives. The fact that the director, who traces the search, focuses on the struggle of the seven relatives instead of drawing attention by implying the Kurdish problem with popular political references, brought the documentary to an objective point.In this study, based on the documentary The Well; Instead of "documentary-reality", which distances reality from fiction as much as possible, the possibilities of shooting a "real documentary" will be analyzed. In this context, the reasons for avoiding the use of metaphor, the director's limitation of his camera, and the relationship of preference with ethics will be included in the analysis.While "The Well" has strong meanings from literature to visual arts, in the narrative it has been transformed into a setting, character, and plot that can be grasped, seen, and recorded in history by conveying the truth to witnesses; in this state, instead of losing its meaning from its "reality", it gained strength by feeding on the richness of fiction, but also gave up on poetic reality or all kinds of abstract meanings.This study will examine the effects of the director's direct involvement in the narrative on ethical values and its contribution to the reality of the film, as well as investigate the limits of the construction of "truth" in the post-truth period with a documentary film.The fact that the director renounces his power over the film and turns into the eye that is "attracted" and "witnessed" from time to time, rather than "shooting" the film, will be examined ethically with the method of discourse analysis.The aim of the study is to present an example of whether the creation of documentary cinema in search of reality and its way of influencing the masses are in conflict with ethical principles.

This study examines conceptually the relationship between sustainable security approach and public administration. Sustainable security represents the latest approach to security understanding within sustainable development policy which establishes a causality relationship between security and development. According to sustainable security approach, the focus should be on developmental and environmental root causes that undermine security conditions of individuals and communities, rather than on merely security issues and the state. In this respect, sustainable security approach contends that national security paradigm and pertinent security organization should change accordingly. The study first examines sustainable security approach drawing upon pertinent literature and policy documents. Then it discusses its implications for public administration. In this context, as an emerging security approach, sustainable security points to a long-reaching security organization in public administration, which relies on strategic management and foresight, and where coordination and policy coherence come to forefront. It can be asserted that sustainable security organization will be shaped by a public policy process which is multidisciplinary and integrated, in addition to the balances between effectiveness and accountability as well as between short-term and long-term. It is likely that a relevant security ethics will emerge and the relationships of both "economics-security" and "urbanization-security" as well as urban security policies will come to the fore. ; Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilir güvenlik yaklaşımı ve kamu yönetimi arasındaki ilişkiyi kavramsal olarak incelemektedir. Sürdürülebilir güvenlik, kalkınma ile güvenlik arasında nedensellik ilişkisi kuran sürdürülebilir kalkınma politikası içerisindeki en son güvenlik anlayışını temsil etmektedir. Sürdürülebilir güvenlik yaklaşımına göre, sadece güvenlik sorunlarına ve devlete odaklanmak yerine bireylerin ve toplulukların güvenlik koşullarını olumsuz etkileyen, kalkınma ve çevre sorunlarına ilişkin kök nedenlere odaklanılmalıdır. Bu yönüyle, sürdürülebilir güvenlik ulusal güvenlik anlayışının ve buna ait ulusal güvenlik örgütlenmesinin değişimini talep etmektedir. Çalışma öncelikle sürdürülebilir güvenlik yaklaşımını ilgili literatür ve politika belgelerinden incelemekte; daha sonra bu yaklaşımın kamu yönetimi bağlamında sonuçlarını tartışmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, sürdürülebilir güvenlik henüz gelişmekte olan bir yaklaşım olarak kamu yönetiminde uzun vadeli, stratejik yönetim ve uzgörüye dayanan, eşgüdüm ve politika uyumunun öne çıktığı bir güvenlik örgütlenmesine işaret etmektedir. Sürdürülebilir güvenlik öğütlenmesini ise, etkililikhesapverebilirlik ve kısa vade-uzun vade dengeleri yanında çok disiplinli ve bütünleşik bir kamu politikası sürecinin biçimlendireceği ileri sürülebilir. Bu güvenlik yaklaşımı çerçevesinde güvenlik etiğinin gelişmesi; yönetimde "ekonomigüvenlik" ve "kentleşme-güvenlik" ilişkileri ile kentsel güvenlik politikalarının öne çıkması olası görülmektedir.
