cogito is a quarterly journal of thought based in Istanbul and published by Yapi Kredi Yayinlari; it attempts to encompass the myriad aspects of today's intellectual arena through an interdisciplinary approach. Each issue of cogito examines a different topic in the form of a special dossier consisting of philosophical, social, political, and cultural analyses. Secularism, Automobiles, Love, Byzantium, Jokes, and Crises are just a few of the memorable themes of cogito's back issues, all of which are regularly reprinted and collected by readers. Once a year, cogito devotes a special issue to a single philosopher, offering up-to-date "companions" to its readers: back issues of cogito on Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Adorno, Kant, Derrida and Benjamin still enjoy excellent sales. cogito was established in 1993.

Sanat Dünyamız which began its publication as a service of the Yapı Kredi Bank in 1974, is a magazine dedicated to culture and arts from the onset. Each issue is comprised of noteworthy articles, and presents interesting clues about the times in which it is published. Its goal is to put arts, culture under a microscope, and to study especially the contemporary dynamics that steer culture and arts here and abroad. Sanat Dünyamız is published bimonthly; while one issue is made up of articles independent of each other, the following issue is allocated to a single theme and prepared almost as a small book.
