Abstract
Love Again Kaygusuz Abdâl
Turkish literature, which started to give its first
products in Anatolia, was shaped under the influence of the
process of recognizing the new religious and new cultures
of the nomads. When the influence of the oral culture and
pre-institutionalization of the order of belief was
mentioned, a literary language emerged in Anatolia.
Turkish society, who recognized the religion of Islam in the
process of immigration, assimilated a sense of emotion
which we would call sufism in the name of esoteric
predisposition. In the process of Islamization and
migration to the West, the spiritual air was formed on the
axis of a spirituality centered on Melâmet. When we look
at the pioneers in Anatolia, it is seen that almost all of the
artists who make the first literary production express their
understanding of Melâmet love. Kaygusuz Abdâl is one of
the most competent representatives of these sofists who
have become peculiar to Anatolia. In this article, we will
focus on Kaygusuz Abdâl 's Melâmet perception and
reflect on his works. In terms of doctrine, the place and
importance of Kaygusuz Abdâl in the context of Anatolian
Melâmet will be emphasized. The key concepts of the
Melâmet doctrine will attempt to elucidate Kaygusuz
Abdâl 's approach to discourse and his own discourse.
