Ingiliz filozof Philippa Ruth Foot’un hem dogum (3 Ekim 1920) hem de olum yildonumu(3 Ekim 2010)



“Bir tramvay rayinin yaninda durdugunuzu hayal edin. Uzakta, kontrolden cikmis bir tramvayin, onun gelisini duymayan bes isciye dogru hizla geldigini goruyorsunuz. Isciler tramvayi gorse bile, raydan zamaninda ayrilamayacaklar.

Felaket belli belirsiz gorundukce, yere bakiyorsunuz ve raylara bagli bir kaldirac oldugunu goruyorsunuz. Eger kaldiraci cekerseniz, tramvayin bes masum iscinin bulundugu raylardan ikinci bir ray takimina yonlenecegini farkediyorsunuz. Ancak, yan taraftaki bu rayin asagisinda, is arkadaslari kadar habersiz, yalniz bir isci bulunuyor. O halde kaldiraci kaldirip, bir insanin olumune yol acar fakat bes kisiyi kurtarir miydiniz?”

(Bu dugum noktasi, tramvay ikilemi olarak bilinen bir klasik dusunce deneyidir ve 1967 yilinda dusunur Philippa Foot tarafindan gelistirilip, 1985’te Jarvis Thomson tarafindan uyarlanmistir.)

(Tramvay ikilemi, bir eylemin sonuclarini bastan sona dusunmemizi ve eylemin ahlaki degerinin, yalnizca sonucari tarafindan belirlenip belirlenmedigini dikkate almamizi saglar.)



“Imagine you are standing beside some tram tracks. In the distance, you spot a runaway trolley hurtling down the tracks towards five workers who cannot hear it coming. Even if they do spot it, they won’t be able to move out of the way in time.

As this disaster looms, you glance down and see a lever connected to the tracks. You realise that if you pull the lever, the tram will be diverted down a second set of tracks away from the five unsuspecting workers.However, down this side track is one lone worker, just as oblivious as his colleagues.So, would you pull the lever, leading to one death but saving five?”

(This is the crux of the classic thought experiment known as the trolley dilemma, developed by philosopher Philippa Foot in 1967 and adapted by Judith Jarvis Thomson in 1985)

(The trolley dilemma allows us to think through the consequences of an action and consider whether its moral value is determined solely by its outcome.)

Amerikali roman, oyun, deneme yazari ve senarist Gore Vidal'in dogum yildonumu (3 Ekim 1925)

"Adalete inaniyorum, butun yanlislari duzeltmek istiyorum, herkes icin iyi bir yasam -boyle bir sey varsa eger- istiyorum. Ote yandan, duygusal baglamda ise yalnizca gorevimi yerine getirebilmek icin de olsa dunya diktatoru olmaktan buyuk mutluluk duyardim: Cinsiyet iliskilerini yeniden duzenlemek icin, irkimizdaki son geleneksel erkeklik kirintilarini yok edip boylece nufusu azaltirken insanlari daha mutlu ederek, insanligi bir sonraki asamasina hazirlama gorevi."�



"I believe in justice, I want redress for all wrongs done, I want the good life-if such a thing exists-accessible to all. Yet, emotionally, I would be only too happy to become world dictator, if only to fulfill my mission: the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood in the race to realign the sexes, thus reducing population, while increasing human happiness and preparing humanity for its next stage."

Turk roman, oyku ve gezi edebiyati yazari Buket Uzuner’in dogum gunu (3 Ekim 1955)

“Ben Istanbulum, sehirler sehri, metropoller kralicesi, sairler beldesi, imparatorlar gozdesi, sultanlar diyari, yeryuzu incisiyim! Adim Istanbul; caglar boyu Paganlarin Hiristiyan, Yahudi, Musluman ve dahi dinsizlerin, dostla dusmanin kiyilarima sigindigi, ihanetin askla, acinin sevincle yan yana barinabildigi, dunyanin en esrarengiz, en tehlikeli ve elbette en muhtesem sehriyim!

Denizler tanrisi Poseidon’un kiziyim, altin postu arayan Argonotlarin mucizesi, Ortacag sehirlerinin imparatoricesi, Yenicag ve Yakincag’in mujdecisiyim Ben. 21. yuzyilin yeniden parlayan yildizi, saadetler ve felaketler, bozgunlar ve mujdeler sehriyim Istanbulum Ben; umut mavisiyim, zehir yesiliyim, tan pembesiyim, erguvanim, mimozayim, lavantayim, Istanbul’um; turkuvazim!”



“I am Istanbul, city of cities, mistress of metropolises, community of poets, seat of emperors, favorite of sultans, pearl of the world! And of all the world's cities, I am without doubt the most magnificent, mysterious and terrible, a city upon whose shores pagans, Christians, jews and unbelievers, friend and foe alike, have found safe harbor through the ages, a place where love and betrayal, pleasure and pain, live side by side.

I, daughter of poseidon, miracle of the argonauts, empress of medieval cities, the harbinger of a new age, whose star shines anew in the 21st century, am the city of prosperity and ruin, of defeat and glad tidings, blue as hope, green as poison, rosy as dawn, I am Istanbul: I am in the judas tree, in acacia, in lavender; I am turquoise!”

3 Ekim 1957 tarihinde Amerikali sair Allen Ginsberg'un kendisine acilan davada Uluma ve diger siirler (Howl and Other Poems) kitabinin mustehcenlik icermedigine karar verildi.

"Koruz ve kor hayatlarimizi yasiyoruz korluk icinde. Sairler lanetlenmistir ama kor degildirler; meleklerin gozleriyle gorurler. Bu sair dibine kadar goruyor, siirindeki oldukca mahrem detaylarla etrafindaki butun dehseti paylasiyor."� (William Carlos Williams'in kitabin onsozune yazdigi yazidan)



"We are blind and live our blind lives out in blindness.Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of the angels.This poet sees through and all around the horrors he partakes of in the very intimate details of his poem."�
