Yunus Emre’nin ġiirlerinde Kaos-Kozmos-EĢik Bağlamında Dünya Algısı
The Perception of the World in the Context of Chaos-Cosmos-Threshold in Yunus Emre's Poems

Summary/Abstract: Human, as the only being/creature who has characteristic of building a new existence/being and reality on the existing ones on the axis of meaning-value, has taken as a certain purpose/goal for oneself since mythic-religious narratives which are great narrative circle, created by oneself for the very first time, from the moment when one (human) fell into history. At this point, great narration of mythic-religious thought has determined existence process, within the scope of creation-last/eschatology narration, by relocating the sacred one to central place; and its fundamental norms, in traditional envisagement (imagination), on the scale of universe and human, by concepts (terms) „„chaos-cosmos and threshold‟‟. That concepts chaos-cosmos and threshold are essential (reference) points can not be thought apart from each other and also from people‟s mental structure, who have traditional universe imagination. Since also Yunus Emre lived in a period when the said universe imagination was dominant, it is seen that concepts chaos-cosmos and threshold formed a basis in his folk songs (deyişler( for his perception of world, in particular. That his perception of world changed based on Yunus Emre‟s spiritual/sufistic journey (seyr u sülûk) found the meaning (phrase/expression) also in sufistic term in parallel with semantics of the noted fundamental concepts (terms), again. Thus, perception of world in Yunus Emre follows firstly cycle of chaos-cosmos and threshold on the axis of meaning-value. It can be said that basic mental codes, created by mythic-religious thought, continued also with the triangle of chaos-cosmos and threshold within the sufistic thought, which was another continuation/extention of religious thought, and Yunus Emre has also come to use them (basic mental codes) within the sufistic thought of which he has been member. The aim of this study is to try to follow the continuity of the basic mental coordinates of mythical-religious thought in the context of chaos-cosmos-threshold in Sufi thought, in the context of Yunus Emre‟s poems.
