Özet:

 In this article, some aspects of Afşar Timuçins contributions to the formation and development of philosophical thought in Turkey will be discussed. His view of philosophy, his historiography of philosophy, his understanding of art and his thoughts on enlightenment will be examined. Timuçin is especially known for his works on the history of thought, aesthetics and philosophy of art. Along with his works on the history of thought, one of the fields in which Timuçin has worked the most is aesthetics and the philosophy of art. The relationship between philosophy and aesthetics and art, and the differences and distinctions between aesthetics and philosophy of art are among the main topics Timuçin emphasizes. According to Timuçin, man is a being in search of beauty. Timuçin says that people who search for beauty seek answers to various questions about what beauty is and is not. In addition to his philosophical works on aesthetics, Timuçins writings on the problems of knowledge, science, method, morality, politics and enlightenment also occupy an important place in his philosophical accumulation. According to Timuçin, philosophy is a research about human beings. The history of philosophy should be considered within the framework of the history of humanity and civilization. According to Timuçin, enlightenment is a condition of life and a way of thinking. Timuçin says that man is a being who lives between the past and the future and thinks and acts with the consciousness of the situation. The heritage and accumulation of the past form the basis of mans efforts and aims for the future. It can be said that he deals with issues and problems such as the history of philosophy and civilization, art, aesthetic values, enlightenment, etc. with an approach that starts from the human being. Timuçin is a thinker who does not follow any philosopher or philosophy but walks on his own path of thought.

 Bu makalede Afşar Timuçinin Türkiyede felsefi düşüncenin oluşumuna ve gelişmesine yaptığı katkılar bazı yönleriyle ele alınacaktır Onun felsefeye bakışı, felsefe tarihçiliği, sanat anlayışı ve aydınlanma konusundaki düşünceleri irdelenecektir. Timuçin, özellikle düşünce tarihi, estetik ve sanat felsefesi alanındaki eserleriyle tanınır. Düşünce tarihi çalışmalarıyla birlikte Timuçinin en fazla emek verdiği ve eserler ortaya koyduğu alanlardan biri de estetik ve sanat felsefesidir. Felsefenin estetik ve sanatla ilişkileri, estetik ve sanat felsefesi arasındaki farklılık ve ayrımlar Timuçinin üzerinde durduğu konuların başında gelir. Timuçine göre insan güzelliği arayan bir varlıktır. Timuçin, güzeli araştıran insanın, güzelin ne olduğu ve ne olmadığı hakkındaki çeşitli sorulara cevap aradığını söyler. Timuçinin estetik ağırlıklı felsefi çalışmalarının yanı sıra bilgi, bilim, yöntem, ahlak, siyaset ve aydınlanma sorunlarıyla ilgili yazıları da onun felsefi birikiminde önemli bir yer tutar. Timuçine göre felsefe insan hakkında bir araştırmadır. Felsefe tarihi de insanlık ve uygarlık tarihi çerçevesinde ele alınmalıdır. Ona göre, aydınlanma bir yaşam koşulu ve bir düşünme biçimidir. Timuçin, insanın geçmiş ve gelecek arasında yaşayan ve durumun bilinciyle düşünüp eyleyen bir varlık olduğunu söyler. Geçmişin mirası ve birikimi, insanın geleceğe yönelik çaba ve amaçlarının temelini oluşturur. Onun felsefe ve uygarlık tarihini, sanatı, estetik değerleri, aydınlanmayı vb. konuları ve sorunları insandan yola çıkan bir yaklaşımla ele aldığı söylenebilir. Timuçin herhangi bir filozofun ya da felsefenin ardından gitmeyip kendi düşünce yolunda yürüyen bir düşünürdür.
