MECAZIN TERİMLEŞME SÜRECİ VE İBN TEYMİYYE ÖNCESİ MECAZA İTİRAZLAR
TERMINOLOGIZATION PROCESS OF METAPHOR AND OBJECTIONS TO METAPHOR BEFORE IBN TAYMIYYAH

Summary/Abstract: Although the Quran addresses human beings and makes uses the language of the society it was revealed unto, it is not a product of the human mind. Being a book that governs the Muslim society, any interpretation or comment on its expressions directly affects practical lives of the people adhering to it. This is why the concept of ‘metaphor’ is not only used in a literary sense by Muslim scholars –though the literary, artistic aspects are not neglected. In fact, political and theological disputes have affected the concept of metaphor more than literary worries. In this work, I shall examine the conceptualization of the metaphor within the aforementioned context and explore the objections made towards it preceding Ibn Taymiyyah.
