“APPLYING POETRY TO THE SCIENCES” OR SUNBULZADE’S PHILOSOPHY UNDERSTANDING AND VIEW TO SCIENCES

17093

Sunbulzade (1718-1809) is an Ottoman poet-thinker. He is from Maras and lives in 18th century. He was müderris, Qadı and delegate. He is known by his poetic dictionaries and continuing the tradition of Nabi. His concern about the philosophy and his Works on the philosophy are not known in the world of thought. This research focuses on this aspect of the thinker. In other words, his wisdom understanding (hikmah) and the view of science (ilim) will be discussed. Because the author claims that he studied philosophy, took pleasure in studying it and followed the philosophical discipline (öğreti). Moreover he is from an ‘ulama’ and of ‘suara’ family. In the libraries, we can find a work of him about kalam and logic. Furthermore, he has a book on ethics discipline called “Lutfıyye”. The poet-thinker presents his views on hikmah and the science by this work. His work can be evaluated in two parts. First one is his understanding and classification of sciences/philosophy and the second one is his thought of ethics. This study dealing with the first part consists of three sections. They are Sumbulzade’s identity and his philosophical concern, his work about the science and his understanding of hikmah and view of sciences. In other words, his place on our philosophical tradition is specified under these sections.
