Biography:Takiyettin Mengüşoğlu
Takiyettin Mengusoglu (1905–1984) was a Turkish philosopher.[1]
Mengusoglu was born in Malatya, Turkey. After finishing high school, he went to Germany and became a student of Nicolai Hartmann. He was known as Takiyettin Temuralp at that time and published Über die grenzen der erkennbarkeit bei Husserl und Scheler in German.[2] He is the author of the university level textbook Felsefeye Giriş (Introduction to Philosophy).[3]
Mengüşoğlu founded a new school of anthropology, which he called ontological anthropology. This anthropology deals with man not through any conceptualization but through "his concrete biopsychic wholeness".[4][5] He believed that this new anthropology would be more suitable for approaching and solving concrete problems in the human world.
