Introduction to the BOOK "God Doesn't Dead Philosophy Dead"

Exploring KILIÇ's Revolutionary Perspectives on Existence, Technology, and Art 
In our latest episode of (Entangled) Singularity, we took a riveting journey through the intricate labyrinth of ideas presented in Serkan KILIÇ's transformative book, God Doesn’t Dead Philosophy Dead? Our hosts, Art and Science Enthusiast and the Curious Co-host, guiding us through an expansive discussion, laid bare the richly interconnected themes KILIÇ explores. Sparking profound reflections, KILIÇ challenges our conventional perceptions of existence, the role of technology, and the transformative power of art. 

A Non-Linear Quest for Knowledge KILIÇ's approach to philosophical discourse is anything but traditional. 
His work prompts readers to abandon the notion of starting at the beginning. Instead, readers are encouraged to dive into any chapter, reflecting the inherently interconnected nature of existence. This non-linear structure mirrors KILIÇ's belief that knowledge and existence aren't confined to a rigid timeline but are instead dynamic and intertwined. Art and Science Enthusiast highlighted this transformative approach, noting, "It's like KILIÇ is practically saying, look, start wherever you want. Pick a chapter, any chapter. It's all connected." This perspective invites readers to circle back, uncovering new insights with each engagement—a refreshing departure from linear narratives that often limit our understanding of more complex ideas. 

Transformative and Eternal Existence KILIÇ's views on existence are equally ground-breaking. He contests the idea of finite existence, proposing instead an eternal, ever-transforming reality. This shift from a linear understanding to an infinite, interconnected one has significant implications for how we perceive our place in the universe. Curious Co-host remarked, "KILIÇ challenges this idea that it’s finite, that there’s a start and a finish line. He wants us to see existence as eternal, constantly changing, transforming." By encouraging us to break free from the comforting yet limiting constructs of linear time and societal norms, KILIÇ opens the door to a more profound grasp of the vast and dynamic nature of reality. 

The Architecture of Language, for KILIÇ, is not merely a tool for communication; it is the very architecture of our reality. He emphasizes the timeless power of words and their profound influence on shaping our understanding of the world. As Art and Science Enthusiast explained, "For KILIÇ, language isn’t just about communication. It’s almost like this hidden architecture of reality." Through language, meanings can be lost, twisted, or rediscovered, prompting a deeper engagement with words to uncover their layers of meaning. 

Defending Nietzsche: Beyond the Nihilism Misconception One of the most passionate aspects of KILIÇ's book is his defense of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche, often pegged as a nihilist, is instead portrayed by KILIÇ as a visionary deeply invested in humanity's potential for greatness. He sees Nietzsche's work not as a declaration of despair but as a celebration of life and a call to self-discovery through art. Curious Co-host captured the essence of this argument, noting, "KILIÇ argues that Nietzsche championed life, that he saw art as this incredible pathway to truth, to discovering yourself." This nuanced perspective encourages readers to move beyond simplistic interpretations and appreciate the deeper layers of Nietzsche's philosophy. 

Visionaries Unveiled: Van Gogh and Nietzsche 
KILIÇ draws an unexpected yet compelling connection between Nietzsche and the painter Vincent van Gogh. Both were visionaries ahead of their time, misunderstood and critiqued, yet unwavering in their artistic and intellectual pursuits. Art and Science Enthusiast reflected, "Both these visionaries, way ahead of their time, both misunderstood, both pouring their hearts into their work, whether it’s philosophy or painting." This parallel serves to underscore the sincerity and raw honesty that characterize both men's contributions. 





Technology: A Double-Edged Sword 
KILIÇ's take on technology is complex and multifaceted. On one hand, technology offers unprecedented opportunities for creativity and connectivity. On the other, it risks reducing human value to mere profit potential—a concept he terms "machine capitalism." Curious Co-host explained, "It’s this idea that human value gets boiled down to profit potential, to what an algorithm says you should want." This cautious view of technology warns of a future where human connection and creativity are overshadowed by the pursuit of profit and algorithm-driven decisions. 

Art as the Antidote Against this backdrop of technological dominance, KILIÇ posits art as the antidote. Art is not mere decoration or entertainment but a fundamental aspect of our humanity. It serves as a force that counters the cold, impersonal nature of technology, reconnecting us with empathy, beauty, and our sense of purpose. As Curious Co-host beautifully put it, "Art reminds us of the stuff that actually matters. Beauty, empathy, connection... Art has this power to wake us up." Through this lens, art becomes a crucial means of reclaiming our humanity in an increasingly tech-driven world. Conclusion: 

Conscious Creators of Our Future Ultimately, 
KILIÇ calls us to be conscious creators, not only of technology but of our own lives. We have the power to define our values, shape our impact, and choose the legacy we leave behind. Art and Science Enthusiast concluded, "Even in a world where tech is everywhere, it’s still up to us to decide what it means to be human." As listeners of God Doesn’t Dead Philosophy Dead? ponder KILIÇ's profound questions, they are encouraged to reflect on their guiding purpose and the choices that will shape their human experience. In a world entangled with both promise and peril, KILIÇ's insights challenge all of us to seek deeper connections, embrace the transformative power of art, and consciously craft a future that reflects the very essence of our humanity.

Anlamlar, gelişerek , degiserek sozcukte yasar ve onun ötesinde de bu sayede geçer. İskeleti olan sozcugun ruhudur anlam ve sinirsiz, sonsuzca hukum sürer.

Introduction the Book "Voluntariness of the Unchanging"

Unchange: Embracing Cyclical Time and Rediscovering our Humanity in a Digital Age A Deep Dive into Serkan KILIÇ's Profound Philosophies on Time, Art, and Technology Caught in the Spin Cycle In today's fast-paced society, it often feels like we're trapped in an endless cycle of deadlines, trends, and constant updates. From social media notifications to the latest technological advancements, it seems as though we’re always trying to play catch-up. But what if this relentless pace is merely an illusion? What if, beneath the surface, there exists a grander cycle, unchanging and perpetual? This is one of the mind-bending ideas explored in Serkan KILIÇ's eye-opening book,  Voluntariness of the Unchanging . The Illusion of Change In his book, KILIÇ suggests that what we perceive as change is simply a fragment of a much grander, unchanging cycle. He uses the example of the four seasons to illustrate his point. We often see them as distinct and separate, but KILIÇ posits that th...
