Geçmişte analitik felsefeyi bir tür felsefe yapma stili olarak tanımlayan çeşitli yorumlar geliştirilmiştir. Ancak bu yorumlar analitik felsefenin karakterinin ne olduğundan çok ne olmadığıyla ilgilidir: Yorumcular bir “analitik stilden” bahsederken, aslında analitik filozofların ortak bir epistemolojik, etik veya başka türde bir felsefi programa sahip olmadığını, analitik felsefenin bir doktrinler kümesiyle belirlenmediğini vurgulamaya çalışmıştır. Dahası bu yorumcular, söz konusu stilin tam olarak nasıl betimlenmesi gerektiğine dair kapsamlı bir açıklama da geliştirmemiştir. Diğer taraftan görece yakın bir zamanda Hristiyan felsefesinin temsilcilerinden Michael Rea, çağdaş Anglofon Hristiyan felsefesinin analitik felsefenin bir parçası olduğunu savunma girişiminde bulunmuş ve bu iddiasını temellendirmek için Hristiyan filozofların analitik filozoflarla aynı stili paylaştığını öne sürmüştür.
Dahası sözü edilen analitik stilin ne olduğuna dair kapsamlı sayılabilecek bir açıklama girişiminde de bulunmuştur. Diğer taraftan bu çalışmada Rea’nin analitik stil hakkındaki betimlemeleri incelenmekte ve bu betimlemelerin analitik filozofları tarif edemediği gösterilmektedir. Böylece Hristiyan metafelsefesi ile analitik metafelsefenin birbirine karıştırılmaması gerektiği savunulmaktadır.

Is Analytic Philosophy a Question of Rhetoric/Style?

Öz

Various past interpretations have described analytic philosophy as a style of doing philosophy.
However, these interpretations focus more on what analytic philosophy is not rather than what it is. In referring to an ‘analytic style,’ commentators have sought to emphasize that analytic philosophers do not share a common epistemological, ethical, or philosophical program, and that analytic philosophy is not defined by a fixed set of doctrines. Moreover, these commentators have not provided a comprehensive account of how this style should be characterized. More recently, however, Michael Rea has argued that contemporary Anglophone Christian philosophy is part of analytic philosophy. To support this claim, he contends that Christian philosophers share the same style as analytic philosophers and further attempts to provide a detailed explanation of what this ‘analytic style’ entails. This study critically examines Rea’s account of analytic style and demonstrates that his descriptions fail to adequately characterize analytic philosophers. Ac- cordingly, this study argues that Christian metaphilosophy and analytic metaphilosophy should be carefully distinguished.
