Emre San
Welcome! I work as professor at the philosophy department of the University of Istanbul 29 Mayis. I have also worked as visiting assistant professor at Galatasaray and Mimar Sinan Universites in Istanbul.
After completing a BA at Galatasaray University (2006) and a MA at Paris I Sorbonne University (2007), I obtained my Ph.D. (2011) at Paris I Sorbonne University, under the supervision of Prof. Renaud Barbaras. I was then a postdoctoral researcher (2012) at Ecole Normale Supérieur, Archives Husserl de Paris (CNRS-UMR 8547).
My area of expertise is the Contemporary Continental Philosophy with a focus on Phenomenology. My first book La transcendance comme problème phénoménologique (Preface by Renaud Barbaras, Paris, Mimesis/J.Vrin) was published in September 2012. This book received the Cardinal Mercier Prize (2015) from the Catholic University of Louvain.
In addition to phenomenology, my work follows two more axes: (1) image theory and (2) philosophy of technology

Felsefeciler arasında imaj tartışması genellikle zihinsel imajların yapısını ele alarak başlar. Zihinsel imajların karşısına nesnel imajlar konur ve öncelik zihinsel imajlara verilir. Bunlar birbirlerine zıttır ve birbirlerini etkilemezler. İlki bilinç akışına dahil ve geçiciyken ikincisi maddi bir dayanakla tanımlanır. Zihinsel imajlar ve günümüzün sentetik imajları. Kitapta bu ikilikten yola çıkıp ayrı yönlere gitmek yerine birbirlerini nasıl etkilediklerini ele almak istedim. Zihinsel imajların deneyim ötesi yapısıyla kolektif kamusal imajların deneyime özgü özellikleri arasındaki karşıtlığa sıkışmak yerine imaj deneyiminde ortak olarak neyi paylaşıyoruz sorusu ile başladım. Ardından reklam ve propaganda imajlarının ve dikkatimizi yönlendiren sanatsal imajların teknik ortam içinde nasıl verildiklerini göstermeye çalıştım.
On Images
The debate on images among philosophers typically commences by addressing the structure of mental images. Objective images are contrasted with mental images, with priority generally given to the latter. These two types are often posited as antithetical and mutually non-influential. The former are considered inherent to the stream of consciousness and transient, while the latter are defined by a material foundation. Mental images versus contemporary synthetic images.
Rather than utilizing this dichotomy merely as a starting point to diverge into separate analyses, this work aimed to explore their mutual interaction. I began not by confining the discussion to the stark contrast between the transcendental structure of mental images and the experience-specific characteristics of collective public images, but rather by posing the question: What is shared in the experience of an image? Subsequently, I endeavored to demonstrate how the images of advertising, propaganda, and the artistic images that direct our attention are presented within their respective technical media.
Sur les Images
Le débat philosophique relatif aux images s'ouvre traditionnellement par l'examen de la structure des images mentales. Les images objectives sont opposées aux images mentales, la priorité étant généralement accordée à ces dernières. Ces deux types sont souvent postulés comme étant antithétiques et mutuellement non-influents. Les premières sont considérées comme inhérentes au flux de conscience et transitoires, tandis que les secondes sont définies par un substrat matériel. Les images mentales versus les images synthétiques contemporaines.
Plutôt que d'utiliser cette dichotomie simplement comme un point de départ pour bifurquer vers des analyses distinctes, cet ouvrage a cherché à explorer leur interaction mutuelle. J'ai commencé non pas en confinant la discussion au contraste rigide entre la structure transcendantale des images mentales et les caractéristiques spécifiques à l'expérience des images publiques collectives, mais plutôt en soulevant la question : Qu'est-ce qui est partagé dans l'expérience de l'image ? Par la suite, je me suis efforcé de démontrer comment les images de la publicité, de la propagande, ainsi que les images artistiques qui orientent notre attention, sont présentées au sein de leurs médias techniques respectifs.
Emre Şan’ın Kriz ve Kritik araştırmasının devamı olan bu kitap, büyük veri, dikkat ekonomisi ve yapay zekâ gibi konularda yeni düşünsel alanlar açarken zihnin, yeni teknolojilere ve hızlı değişimlere uyum sağlama kapasitesinden ziyade, psişik ve kolektif bireyselliklerin bu yoğun dönüşümlere nasıl cevap vereceğiyle ilgilenir. Stiegler’in yazı, bellek ve dikkat kavramlarını merkeze alıp yalnızca teknik ortamları değil; bunların ekonomik ve ekolojik yapılarını da ele alarak karmaşık ilişkileri çözümlemeye çalışan Şan’a göre kolektif kültürün algoritmik süreçlerle sermayeye dönüştüğü günümüzde, bilişsel teknolojilerin zihinsel kapasiteleri ve kamusal aklın kullanımını nasıl şekillendirdiği ivedi bir araştırma konusudur. Teknoloji Felsefesi Problemleri, ekran karşısında geçirilen zamanın bilinç, karar alma ve eylem biçimleri üzerindeki etkilerini tartışırken, yaşam bilgisi ile kuramsal bilginin nasıl daha anlamlı bir şekilde dolaşıma sokulabileceğine dair yollar arar.
Problems of Philosophy of Technology: Writing, Memory, Attention
This book, a continuation of Emre Şan's Crisis and Critique research, opens new intellectual spaces on topics such as big data, the attention economy, and artificial intelligence, focusing not on the mind's capacity to adapt to new technologies and rapid changes, but on how psychic and collective individualities respond to these intense transformations. By centering on Stiegler’s concepts of writing, memory, and attention, and analyzing not only technical environments but also their economic and ecological structures, Şan seeks to untangle these complex relationships. According to him, in today's world, where collective culture is transformed into capital through algorithmic processes, how cognitive technologies shape mental capacities and the use of public reason is an urgent research question. Problems in the Philosophy of Technology discusses the effects of screen time on consciousness, decision-making, and forms of action, while exploring ways in which practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge can be circulated in more meaningful ways
