Özet:

 After 1980, new research programs such as evolution, behaviorism, experimentalism, complexity, game theory, neurobiology, and neuroscience have become influential in social sciences, especially economics. These approaches try to explain thoughts and behaviors by starting from the brain, unconscious, and mind. In Türkiye, Etyen Mahçupyan explains thoughts and behaviors using the concepts of these new research programs. According to Mahçupyan, the basis of thoughts and behaviors is mindset. Mahçupyan understands mindset with analytical philosophy and new research programs and explains thoughts and behaviors through mindset. He considers mindset as a mental framework or cognitive paradigm that gives characteristic features to perception, meaning, and behavior patterns based on implicit assumptions, references, and categories acquired during the unconscious adaptation process, making them meaningful and consistent. At the same time, he carried out a political order analysis using this mindset approach. This study examines Mahçupyans ideas on mindset. As a result of the relevant examination, it is concluded that Mahçupyans ideas on mindset are only one form of mindset and that this form may reduce man to an experimental being. As a result, considering different mindset analyses that are not based on analytical philosophy and new research programs will deepen mindset research.

 1980 sonrası iktisat başta olmak üzere sosyal bilimlerde evrim, davranışçılık, deneycilik, kompleksite, oyun teorisi, nörobiyoloji ve nörobilim gibi yeni araştırma programları etkin olmaya başlamıştır. Bu yaklaşımlar, beyin, bilinçdışı ve zihinden yola çıkarak düşünce ve davranışları açıklamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Türkiyede Etyen Mahçupyan söz konusu yeni araştırma programlarının kavramlarını kullanarak düşünce ve davranışları açıklamaktadır. Mapçupyana göre düşünce ve davranışların temelinde ise zihniyet vardır. Mahçupyan, zihniyeti, analitik felsefe ve yeni araştırma programlarıyla anlamakta ve zihniyet üzerinden düşünce ve davranışları izah etmektedir. Zihniyeti, bilinçdışı adaptasyon sürecinde edinilen zımni varsayım, referans ve kategorilere dayalı algı, anlamlandırma ve davranış kalıplarına karakteristik niteliğini vererek onları anlamlı ve tutarlı hale getiren bir zihinsel çerçeve veya bilişsel paradigma şeklinde ele almaktadır. Aynı zamanda bu zihniyet yaklaşımıyla siyasal düzen analizi de gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu çalışma, Mahçupyanın zihniyete ilişkin fikirlerini incelemektir. İlgili inceleme neticesinde Mahçupyanın zihniyete dair fikirlerinin zihniyetin sadece bir biçimi olduğu ve bu biçimin insanı deneysel bir varlığa indirgeme ihtimalinin olabileceği kanaatine varılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak analitik felsefe ve yeni araştırma programlarına dayanmayan farklı zihniyet analizlerinin de hesaba katılması zihniyet araştırmalarını derinleştirecektir.
