About the Work

Painting Classical Turkish poets, while dealing with traditional poetry, have carried out a serious task in their wide geographical networks from imagination to thought, from thought to wisdom. If an inference is to be made about the indispensability of poetry in the Ottoman understanding of art, it is not possible to accept the poets' act of writing as separate from aesthetics, knowledge, wisdom/philosophy or thought. In fact, it is not possible to ignore the existence of the organic connection between poetry and wisdom. In order to reveal the existence of the philosophy of classical Turkish poetry and to reveal the wisdom in poetry, it is essential to investigate the cultural and scientific data specific to the language of poetry and to determine the methodical foundations within traditional understanding and limitations.

In this study, which was conducted with Greimas' semiotic analysis method, the relationship between the subject and the object in classical Turkish poetry was examined in terms of the dimensions of act-competence. The analysis of poetic units showed that the closed structure of the poem could be read by dividing it and that these divisions emerged through linguistic transformations. The formal and functional connections between the images were evaluated, and thus the philosophical position of the poem was determined. As a result, a structural adaptation was given to these products within the tradition, a reading beyond time was carried out without being removed from the space and time it was in, and these selected poetic products were brought to an interdisciplinary ground.
