Berker Basmacı received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from The New School for Social Research in 2025. His research focuses on German Idealism, especially the intersections of logic and aesthetics. His dissertation, Hegel’s Logic and the Aesthetics of Sensuous Singularity, develops a new interpretation of Hegel’s logic as a theory of “historical ecology” and argues that artworks possess a unique conceptual content in their power to manifest universality through singularity. Situating this claim within Hegel’s broader metaphysics, he shows how art reveals the possible ways in which the ideals of life, truth, and justice retain their actuality under the non-ideal conditions of death, ignorance, and violence. He has published on the aesthetic origins of metaphysical categories in Kant, Hegel’s aesthetics, and Hegel’s ecological account of conceptuality, and is currently developing a theory of art criticism grounded in Hegelian logic.
