Publication: Davud Kayseri’de varlık, bilgi ve insan
Abstract
Fusûsu’l-Hikem tasavvuf düşüncesi literatürünün en önemli eserlerinden biridir. Davûd Kayserî gerek bu kıymetli esere yazdığı şerhte, gerekse diğer risâlelerinde vahdet-i vücûd meselesinin en önemli bahislerini ayrıntılı bir şekilde îzâh etmiştir. Pek çok ilim merkezinde çeşitli ilimleri tahsil ettikten sonra Orhan Bey tarafından İznik’e davet edilen müellif burada yapılan ilk Osmanlı medresesine baş müderris olarak atanmıştır. Böylelikle o, birçok alimden tevarüs ettiği değerli ilimleri Anadolu’ya taşımış özellikle de vahdet-i vücûd düşüncesinin Osmanlı medreselerinde ve ilim hayatında önemli bir yer tutmasına vesile olmuştur.
Fusûsu’l-Hikem is considered as one of the most important works of Sufi literature. Davûd Kayserî gives explanations in details to some of the most important issues of Wahdat al-Wujud, or ‘Unity of Existence’, both in this commentary work and in his other epistles. After studying in many schools on varied subjects, the author was invited by Orhan Bey, the second sultan of the Ottoman State, to Nicaea and was appointed as the head professor of the first Ottoman Madrasa. Thus, he carried to Anatolia some of the most valuable religious studies that he inherited from various scholars and he specially paved the way for the idea of Wahdat al-Wajud to take place in the Ottoman Madrasas and the scholarly life there.
