Özet:

It is often known that literature, especially poetry, has a relationship with philosophy from ancient times. This relationship makes it possible to observe how paradigm changes occurring in philosophy transform the poet's personality and the contents of the poem. The increasing scientific and mental developments with the Renaissance and continuing with the Illumination have led to paradigm changes in many individual and social areas in the West. With this process of illumination, the religious-centric social structure has brought the mind-centric process. It seems that the developments in the West have also begun to transform the traditional lifestyle and thinking in the Ottoman society. With the announcement of Tanzimat and the acceleration of this process, significant differences occur in the positioning of the individual’s relationship with the existence, with the society and with himself. The effects of change in the Ottoman literature field showed itself first in the poetry, which has been a centuries-long means of expression. In this context, one of the differences that attract attention in the Turkish poetry of the Tanzimat Period is the reflection of the deist thought in the poetry. This study aims to identify the theist effects of Tanzimat poetry in the context of the paradigm changes that Western philosophy has produced in the Ottoman world of thought.
