PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF SOME IMAGES IN FUZULI'S POEMS IN THE CONTEXT OF ASCETICISM

Abstract

In this philosophical analysis attempt, the nature of the relationship (the act of thinking) between the poems of the wise poet Fuzulî and his mental world will be tried to be explained by the method of philosophical analysis. Our main purpose in doing this is to explain how the aesthetic bond (taking into account internal and external elements) is established between Fuzulî's poetry, an aesthetic object, and the aesthetic subject (Fuzulî) who created it. If it is possible to achieve this, it will be shown that the knowledge of the aesthetic subject (as aesthetic knowledge) will to some extent be free of subjectivity and have an informational value equivalent to rational knowledge.

Fuzulî lived between approximately 1480-1556 and is a well-known figure as a man of letters and poet in the Turkish and Islamic world with his poems. He is one of the groundbreaking artists of Classical Islamic and Turkish Literature, with his knowledge of Arabic and Persian, which he knows well enough to write poetry, as well as his native language, Turkish. According to Fuzûlî, the art of poetry creates a privileged position that offers people the opportunity to rise above the total existence. Although Fuzûlî clearly demonstrates his superiority in the art of poetry in his ghazals, he deserves his fame as a poet with his masnavi named Leyla vü Mecnûn.
