Celaleddin Ed-Devvani-Moral, Political, Philosophical, Sufi, and Theological Views

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

XV. Celâleddîn Devvânî, who lived in the 19th century, is one of the important figures of his period. In addition to assuming important positions in politics during the Karakoyunlu and Akkoyunlu states, he also served as a madrasa mullah for a long time. He had an important mission in the Ottoman madrasah tradition and also in the Ottoman mentality and in carrying this mentality to the later generations. In this sense, Devvânî is an important figure who made significant contributions to our cultural history with his moral, political, philosophical, mystical and theological views as well as the works he wrote.

XV. YY. Considering Devvânî's thoughts on ethics and politics, who was an important thinker in transferring the Islamic philosophical tradition to the next generations, it can be seen that philosophical mysticism was significantly influential in both. He was interested in Sufism practically and theoretically and defended his view of unity of existence in his works.

The fact that his works were known in the Ottoman lands before his death shows that his fame spread while he was still alive. Due to this fame, many students from various Islamic countries studied with him and later, a very large "Devvani School" was formed through these students.

Devvânî, whose theological views we gave in our work titled “The Theological System of Celâleddîn Devvânî”, was also interested in ethics, politics, philosophy and Sufism. In this study, we tried to identify and evaluate his life, social environment, the period in which he lived, his works, the people he influenced and influenced by, his works and his thoughts on the mentioned subjects.
