Yayın Orators in the realm of pandemonium playing God(Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi, 2019-10-22) Edman, Timuçin Buğra; Gözen, HacerOnce upon a time Sigmund Freud proclaimed that technology was the means by which to push humans beyond the edge of their biological limits, transforming them into ‘a kind of prosthetic’ God. By the time humans began to dominate the world, many animal species had already disappeared because of man’s hunger. This was the first indicator that humans were prone to determine the fate of other species. The wars they fought, massacres they ordered, and extinctions they caused. The center of the world was not large enough, while the center of the universe was occupied by God. Dante Alighieri imagined the planets through their proximity to the Sun as our juxtaposition to God. For humankind, the inability to control themselves was disturbing enough. Zamiatin, in his We, created a dystopian world at the edge of Armageddon in which people become the subjects of a long-lasting project that portrays religions as myths. The aim of this study is to display the imaginable cost of playing God through science, which is presumably designed to make life easier, not to replace God.Yayın Speculations on panentheism in literature, Sinless Sinners and Demonic Good Angels in Midnight’s Children and Lord of the flies(Bartın Üniversitesi, 2021-07-02) Gözen, Hacer; Edman, Timuçin Buğra; Karamalak, Olga; Arısoy, Sercan; Barutlu, UmutThis study applies an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to the selected Works through panentheistic philosophy to visualize the abstract expressions and perception of theology and philosophy on panentheism using concrete and representational expressions of the selected novels. In the dystopian work Lord of the Flies by William Golding, this study benefits the limitless opportunities fiction offers to unveil the problem of evil and goes beyond the boundaries of the teachings, experiences and social norms the human world. The dystopian fiction Lord of the Flies, which portrays the inner and subconscious conflict between good and evil within individuals, is scrutinized from a panentheistic perspective to question the existence of evil. Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie, as a genre of magic realism and historiographic metafiction, will enlighten the study to reveal the conflicts between destruction and creation to clarify the problem of evil which is ambiguous from a panenthestic view.
