Özet:

 In this article, a comparison of Empiricism and Phenomenology, which are important in epistemology, has been made through tabula rasa and epoché. In this context, the views of three philosophers were consulted to address and discuss the issue deeply. From the phenomenological perspective of Husserl, one of these philosophers, epoché is a prominent concept for epistemology. In addition, Locke and Hume had long ago addressed the problem of knowledge within an empirical approach and discussed the certainty of knowledge in this direction. Tabula rasa carries the claim of the Empiricists that the mind is a blank slate against the thesis of the Rationalists that there are innate ideas. Accordingly, tabula rasa is a tool for reaching true and real knowledge as claimed. However, tabula rasa is not only a perspective that rejects innate ideas but also aims to remove from our minds the ideas that prevent reaching true knowledge. In this respect, it can be stated that Locke and Humes epistemological perspective and Husserls perspective have fundamental similarities. Since it is necessary to be careful against the danger of entering into ontological metaphysics and moving away from epistemology, Locke, Hume, and Husserl focused on the concern of the certainty of knowledge and its belonging to this world. Epoché was put forward by Husserl and appears as a method that aims to reach things directly. The fundamental difficulty here is to reach the knowledge of what exists directly or to get rid of all kinds of preconceptions that will prevent direct access to the knowledge of what exists. In this respect, both tabula rasa and epoché are necessary to investigate how the certainty of knowledge should be realized. Therefore, our study aims to examine the similarities and differences between tabula rasa and epoché in the context of Locke, Hume, and Husserl.

 Bu makalede epistemolojide önem arz eden Empirizm ve Fenomenolojinin tabula rasa ve epokhe üzerinden bir karşılaştırılması yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda sorunun derinlemesine ele alınması ve tartışılması için üç filozun görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Bu filozoflardan biri olan Husserlin fenomenolojik bakış açısında epokhe, epistemoloji için öne çıkan bir kavramdır. Bunun yanında çok önceden Locke ve Hume, empirik bir yaklaşım içinde bilgi sorununu ele almışlar ve bilginin kesinliğini bu doğrultuda tartışmışlardır. Tabula rasa, Rasyonalistlerin doğuştan gelen fikirlerin olduğu tezine karşı Empiristlerin zihnin boş bir levha olduğu iddiasını taşır. Buna göre tabula rasa, iddia edildiği şekliyle doğru ve gerçek bilgiye ulaşmak için bir araçtır. Bununla birlikte tabula rasa sadece doğuştan gelen fikirleri reddeden bir bakış açısı olmayıp aynı zamanda gerçek bilgiye ulaşmayı engelleyen fikirleri de zihnimizden çıkarmayı hedefler. Bu yönüyle Locke ve Humeun epistemolojik bakış açısıyla Husserlin bakış açısındaki temel yakınlıkların olduğu ifade edilebilir. Ontolojik bir metafizik içine girip epistemolojiden uzaklaşma tehlikesine karşın dikkatli olmak gerektiğinden Locke, Hume ve Husserl bilginin kesinliği sorununa ve bu dünyaya ait olması konusuna yoğunlaşmışlardır. Epokhe, Husserl tarafından öne sürülmüş olup şeylere doğrudan ulaşmayı amaçlayan bir yöntem olarak karşımıza çıkar. Buradaki temel sorun, varolanın bilgisine doğrudan ulaşmak veya varolanın bilgisine doğrudan ulaşmayı engelleyecek her türlü önkabullerden kurtulmaktır. Bu yönüyle hem tabula rasa hem epokhe, bilginin kesinliğinin nasıl gerçekleştirilmesi gerektiğini soruşturmak için gereklidir. Dolayısıyla çalışmamız, tabula rasa ve epokhenin benzerliklerini ve farklılıklarını Locke, Hume ve Husserl bağlamında incelemeyi hedeflemiştir.
