Klasik Türk Şiirinde Estetik Bir Unsur Olarak Çiçekler

Abstract

The aesthetic statutes of Classical Turkish literature which is a branch of Islamic literatures, are under the control of Islamic aesthetics that is highly influenced by the Greek aesthetics. Classical Turkish poets in addition to integrity, harmony, symmetry and proportion, which are the main characteristics of the aesthetics, pay special attention to function. The classical Turkish poets who demand from every single aesthetic object to have a function, use flowers in their works to reach their goals of succinctness (icaz) but there are relatively few kinds of flowers used in the classical Turkish poetry. The main reason of the fact is that there are few flowers in number which is included into classical poetry that can be used as a manner of function for the aesthetics of classical Turkish poetry. To put another way, only nineteen flowers used in this poetry have some aesthetical functions and are subject to poetry in general.
