Comparative philosophical theology, philosophical and theological anthropology, contemporary Islamic thought

I have completed my master's and doctoral studies in Ankara University in the field of Philosophy of Religion. The main question for which I sought the answer in my master's and doctoral studies was what is "the most fundamental" nature of a human being: Is it being a person? Is it being alive? Is it body, brain or spirit? etc. I also questioned the relationship between theistic beliefs and human nature. I researched what kind of assumptions theistic beliefs, which see man as a responsible being and attribute certain characteristics to him, make on the nature of man. Other than that, issues such as consciousness, free will and the basic issues of the philosophy of religion are among the subjects that I am interested in.

Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Mind, Personal Identity, Free Will.
