Hedonistic pursuits and well-being: A retrospective analysis of expectations and reality
(Elite Scientific Publications, 2024) Salahuddin, Taseer; Vergil, Hasan; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
This paper investigates the relationship between hedonic pursuits and their impact on individuals' long-term happiness and well-being. While traditional views in logical positivism and conventional economics have emphasized the hedonic pursuit of happiness, it is essential to assess the contemporary prevalence of hedonism, the potential moral consequences of this focus, and its effects on individual well-being. This study examines the validity of the claim that prioritizing hedonic pursuits is the goal of life, contributing to discussions on human flourishing and genuine happiness. Employing a retrospective analysis approach, the research gathers data through interviews to capture both current assumptions and real feelings. The findings reveal that, although hedonic behaviors provide temporary satisfaction, they do not significantly enhance sustained happiness levels. In contrast, spirituality and eudemonic values-such as kindness, compassion, care for others, sharing, forgiveness, and gratitude-emerge as key drivers of long-term happiness among participants. This research underscores the importance of engaging in meaningful, purpose-driven eudemonic activities to enhance overall well-being, suggesting a shift away from purely hedonic pursuits toward a more balanced approach to happiness.
A critical approach to debt financing in a Muslim Society: The case of Qatar
(Dicle Üniversitesi, 2025) Başak, Mehmet Ali; Khateeb, Saqib H.
A debt-based society continuously encourages people to go into debt, even through legal means, and this leads to a series of problems.. Though Shariah scholars emphasize the Islamic legacy of lending a helping hand, they overlook society's excessive dependence on debt and its consequences. This paper discusses the harms of debt in Muslim societies based on content analysis of four fatwas issued for Islamic finance institutions. First, the types of debt in Islamic Banking are explained. Then, four fatwas are analyzed regarding mortgage and credit card debt. The paper argues these fatwas also overlook global capitalism, which worsens debt burdens on disadvantaged populations. It is followed by highlighting environmental issues and consumerism. Next, the necessity of preventing excessive debt dependence in Muslim communities is discussed with the example of Qatari society. The research concludes that the examined fatwas fail to consider debt’s societal impact, including its negative effect on mental health and contribution to a consumerist culture.
The impact of foreign employees in aviation on airline objectives and passenger segments
(İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2025) Faris, Owaim; Arslan, Hüseyin
In today’s competitive global landscape, industries leverage their unique advantages to adapt and thrive. The aviation sector exemplifies this transformation, evolving beyond basic transportation to create customer-centric brands that build loyalty based on values, preferences, and lifestyles. This study investigates how foreign employees adopt airline goals and their impact on diverse passenger segments with varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Using the PRISMA framework, 54 publications were reviewed, and 16 relevant studies were selected for detailed analysis. Findings reveal that foreign employees significantly contribute to innovation, enhanced customer service, and organizational adaptability. However, challenges such as language barriers and cultural misunderstandings persist. By integrating multilingualism, diverse cuisines, and cultural symbols into their services, airlines can improve passenger satisfaction and loyalty. This study uniquely integrates the strategic objectives of airlines with the broader impacts of foreign employees on both company dynamics and passenger experiences, providing a comprehensive perspective not addressed in prior research. It highlights the critical role of embracing workforce diversity to gain a competitive edge in the global market.
Teveccüh ve Hâlidîlik’teki uygulanan örnekleri
(Mehmet Ayhan, 2025) Candaş, Hilal Barış
Mürşidin, müridin rûhî yetkinliğini artırmak ve ona manevî feyz aktarmak amacıyla tüm manevî kuvvetiyle yönelmesi anlamına gelen teveccüh, çeşitli tarîkatlarda kullanılsa da özellikle Nakşibendiyye geleneğinde bir irşad yöntemi olarak öne çıkan ve müstesna bir yere sahip olan bir kavramdır. Klasik ve modern kaynaklarda teveccühün farklı tür ve vasıtalarına dair bilgiler yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu türlere kısaca değinildikten sonra, Türkiye’de yakın dönemde irşad faaliyetlerinde bulunmuş üç Nakşibendî-Hâlidî şeyhin—Şeyh Mehmed Nuri Şemseddîn en-Nakşibendî (ö. 1864), Şeyh Abdurrahim Reyhan (ö. 1998) ve Şeyh Abdülbâkî el-Hüseynî (ö. 2023)—teveccühe dair tarif ve uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Ardından, tasavvuf literatüründe oldukça sınırlı şekilde ele alınan kadınlara teveccüh uygulamasının usûl ve âdâbına da yer verilmiştir. Bu çerçevede çalışma, iki temel soruya yanıt aramaktadır: (1) “Bir irşad usûlü olarak teveccüh ne tür şekillerde uygulanmaktadır?” ve (2) “Kadınlara teveccüh uygulanabilir mi, uygulanabiliyorsa hangi usûllere riayet edilmelidir?” Bu sorular etrafında yapılan çözümlemelerle teveccühün hem kavramsal çerçevesi hem de pratikteki yansımaları daha geniş bir bakış açısıyla ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonucunda, mürşidin teveccüh tasarrufunun oldukça geniş bir çerçevede gerçekleşebileceği görülmektedir. Teveccüh uygulamaları, mürşidin müridin karşısında fiziksel olarak bulunarak gerçekleştirdiği alınların birbirine temas ettirilmesi, sırta dokunulması ve nefes üflenmesi gibi zâhirî biçimlerde olabildiği gibi, gıyabında hayal yoluyla da icra edilebilmektedir. Kadınlara yönelik teveccüh uygulamalarında ise şer’î kurallara riayet edilerek doğrudan ya da gıyabî yöntemlerin tercih edildiği anlaşılmaktadır.
Digitalization and philosophy of communication: Transforming other-self relationships from a spinozaist perspective
(Türk Felsefe Derneği, 2025) Yılmaz, Özgür
This paper examines the impact of digitalization on philosophy of communication, particularly in the context of self-other relationships, post-truth dynamics, and democratic deliberation. It argues that digital communication reshapes the conditions of dialogue by fostering epistemic fragmentation, digital tribalism, and the erosion of shared meaning. Drawing on Spinoza’s philosophy, the study challenges dualistic frameworks that separate mind andfrom? body, truth andfrom? persuasion, or reason and from?affect, proposing instead a relational approach to communication. The paper highlights how deliberative democracy and mutual aid face significant obstacles in an era dominated by misinformation, algorithmic filtering, and identity-driven discourse. By employing an interdisciplinary literature review, this study identifies the potential of Spinoza’s concept of potentia (power as capacity) as a theoretical foundation for rethinking agency, relationality, and communicative ethics in digital spaces. The findings suggest that addressing fragmentation requires promoting critical media literacy, encouraging dialogical engagement, and reconceptualizing communication as an embodied, interactive, and ethically responsive process.
