Mission
Our mission is to cultivate individuals with a solid foundation in core philosophical disciplines, who are capable of critical thinking and contributing to our intellectual life. We strive to create a modern educational and scientific environment that fosters respect for diverse cultural values and lifestyles, upholds social and academic ethical standards, and encourages a desire to think, understand, and research. Our aim is to develop individuals who can listen to and understand different perspectives, remain open to diverse opinions and ideas, and are enthusiastic about all these fields. Additionally, we are committed to keeping abreast of scientific research and engaging in original studies.

Vision
Our vision is to conduct impactful and original academic work in philosophy. We aim to critically evaluate national and international cultural heritage from an interdisciplinary collaborative perspective, interpret the results with a philosophical outlook, and share them with society. We strive to cultivate students who are sensitive to global and national issues and contribute philosophical insights toward solving contemporary problems, thereby becoming a department whose graduates are highly sought after.

Objective
The objective of the Philosophy Department is to teach students conceptual thinking and the history of philosophical thought, thereby providing an education aimed at exploring and analyzing contemporary issues in the light of philosophical knowledge. Our department seeks to instill in students and others interested in philosophy the awareness that philosophical knowledge and reasoning are among the most crucial tools for solving societal problems. We aim to propose solutions to social issues and develop individuals capable of crafting such proposals. To achieve this, we will introduce philosophical heritage through the works of philosophers and teach philosophical methods and critical thinking based on fundamental philosophical issues. By the end of this process, graduates of the department will have the potential not only to become teachers and academics but also to excel in roles that require thinking and creativity.
