Ebru GÜVEN

Ebru GÜVEN serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Artvin Coruh University's Faculty of Science and Literature since 2019, where she also chairs the Systematic Philosophy and Logic Department. Previously, she taught at the Turkish Ministry of National Education from 1998 to 2019. Her academic foundation includes a PhD in Philosophy from Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University (2009-2018), an MA in History of Philosophy from Sakarya University (2001-2004), and a BA in Turkish and Social Sciences Education from Atatürk University (1994-1998).

Her research centers on political philosophy and ethics, with specialized expertise in Martha Nussbaum's capabilities approach, Amartya Sen's development theory, and John Rawls' justice frameworks. She examines intersections of feminist theory with education, religious freedom, and poverty analysis, frequently addressing gender equality within capability-based development models. Her work bridges Western philosophical traditions with Turkish-Islamic philosophical heritage.

Publication trends reveal sustained engagement with Nussbaum's theories across 15+ articles (2013-2024), evolving from foundational analyses of capabilities ethics toward contemporary applications in digital education, religious tolerance, and gender justice. Key thematic threads include the Aristotelian roots of capability theory, critiques of internalist essentialism, and cross-cultural examinations of 'Boncuk Oyunu' as philosophical methodology.

As an active member of the Aristotle Philosophy Association's Board since 2011, she contributes to national philosophical discourse through conference leadership. Her teaching portfolio spans core philosophy domains including Ethics, History of Western and Islamic Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, and specialized seminars on Freedom Theories and Nussbaum's works.
