Özet:

Abū Hilāl al-ʿAskarī was a versatile scholar of the second half of the third century, distinguished for his rich knowledge of language and literature and his literary pleasure. His famous work al-Sinā'atayn is an important source in the fields of literature, rhetoric, and criticism. al-ʿAskarī's book is also important in terms of the debates about the difference in methodology between rhetorical sciences and literary criticism, which made progress in the fourth century. al-ʿAskarī attempted a new method of writing based on the topics that had been discussed in the fields of rhetoric and literature before him, different opinions, and his extensive knowledge of both Arabic prose and Arabic poetry. His attempt has been interpreted differently among literary historians. In his book, al-ʿAskari, who was a rhetorical scholar according to some and a critic according to others, displayed an approach that combined the sciences of rhetoric, literature, and criticism. His approach has been discussed in terms of the methods of literature and rhetoric. In this study, al-ʿAskarī's method in literary criticism, his place in the course of literary criticism, the sources of his views on criticism and the originality of his book will be discussed through his work al-Sınaʿatayn, and the views put forward about his position among the sciences of rhetoric, literature and literary criticism will be evaluated.
