On the third day of the symposium, Asst. Prof. Dr. Emre Doğan has based his study on the view that the relationship between science and common sense has weakened as an outcome of modern science. He conveyed his thoughts that the break in the science-common sense relationship affected not only science but also art and philosophy and that this situation became one of the characteristic features of the postmodern period. The claims in the study are handled through the science fiction genre that came to the fore in the 1960s in cinema. The connections between the rise of the science fiction genre and the break in the science-common sense relationship and postmodernity were examined. The use of time-space elements belonging to the genre of science fiction was discussed through the films Primer (Shane Carruth, 2004), Source Code (Duncan Jones, 2011), and Tenet (Christopher Nolan, 2020) in the sample, and the speculative information in the discourses of the films was related to the science-common sense relationship. interpreted what effects it has.
The session ended after the questions from the audience were answered.
We congratulate asst. Prof. Dr. Emre Doğan for his work and wish him continued success.
