“The love I have for these lands, my indebtedness to philosophy that has
changed my life significantly and positively, and my naive belief that life in
this country will become more beautiful, peaceful and rich with the spread of
philosophy and philosophical culture has led me to contribute in a slightly
wider field and through relatively more modest or less ambitious works with
philosophy education in Turkey rather than establishing a high-level expertise
in a narrow field”

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Cevizci

 
The late Prof. Dr. Ahmet Cevizci was a philosophy lover who contributed greatly to the development of philosophy in Turkey with his tens of works such as on encyclopedia of philosophy, dictionary of philosophy, histories of philosophy, the disciplines of philosophy as well as ethics, metaphysics and epistemology, translations and academicians he trained,. With his works, his books have been a common reference point for all philosophy lovers, whether professional philosophers or not. Bursa Uludag University Philosophy Department organized the first philosophical event for the memory of Prof. Dr. Ahmet Cevizci in the form of an international conference series (International Exit Conference I, II and III) that started on 11-12 December 2014 together with the University of Wroclaw, Poland. The series of philosophy seminars which has been organized by Bursa Uludag University Philosophy Department for the memory of Prof. Dr. Ahmet Cevizci aims to address the prominent figures, themes and problems of the history of philosophy at both a national and international academic level, and thus maintain the "naive belief that life in this country will become more beautiful, peaceful and rich with the spread of philosophy and philosophical culture".
