Tanrı Kavramının “Kutsallaşması”
The God as a “Sacred”

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the historical and ontological scenery of the alterations in the na- ture of the idea of God is discussed in line with various world views. The article, which is based on the idea of religion developed both within the ancient world metaphysics and, with its sacred decorative forms, within the modern world, interrogates the forms of ma- nifestation for metaphysics and the sacred. Seeking the metaphysics within history while searching the sacred within the structure of the modern mind has been, to my opinion, a necessity had arisen in the reality of the two different world views. The necessity occurs with the historical split which arose by the birth of modern thought. These two different worlds of meaning, even though they seem to share transitivity with respect to human behavior, are intransigent to each other in terms of ontological structure. This transfor- mation, in each part ignores the spatial knowledge of the other, creates a difference in the structure of the mind as well, given the nature of the two different world views. For the ancient world, while the objective character of the mind sought a harmony in the cosmic structure of the universe where itself was incorporated, the subjective mentality of the modernity, on the other hand, aspired to establish a mathematical order for everything in the universe. The position for everything has been redetermined by way of a scientific and progressive method.
