Abstract:

The ontological method is one of the text assessment techniques that has been frequently applied in recent years. The ontological method developed by Nikolai Hartmann and Roman Ingarden in his work, Art Ontology, is used by literary researchers especially in poetry studies. Many researchers try to apply the method of the Tunai to literary text by making some changes. On the basis of the ontological method, two subjects are often ignored when the text is studied: the first is the author that makes literary work exist, and the second is the reader or the imitating subject. Art activity is a process that involves the work, the artist and the purchaser’s essence. Although the Ontological method focuses on the work, it does not deny the existence of the artist and the acquiring essence. The ontological method of testing the text makes it possible for the researcher to act within the discipline in the analysis of a text. It allows the researcher to focus on the existence of the text, in other words, by leaving the non-text elements on one side. Neutral, it cannot be denied that ontological method has made significant contributions to the conclusions of the scientific and the understanding of the nature of the literary text. The literary work owes its ontic integrity to the author and the reader’s presence. The role of the writer and captivating essence in the demonstration of a work is known, but it can be known by having sufficient knowledge of the art philosophy and aesthetic discipline. Indeed, Ismail Tunali referred to the effect of art philosophy and ontology on the understanding of the artwork before the ontological method is applied to the text. The purpose of this study is to reveal some of the shortcomings that are highlighted in the text assessments made by the ontological method and to point out the importance of the artist and the purchaser’s essence in the ontological method.

Abstract:

In recent years, ontological method is one of the most used text analysis. It developed by İsmail Tunalı as take advantage of Nikolai Hartmann and Roman Ingarden thoughts in Art Ontology, particularly has been used poem analysis. Many researcher try to carry out it in literary text as adapt their work. It can be asserted that there are two important matters which ignored by researchers in ontological method. First matter is author who provides to exist literary work, second is reader or recipient subject. Art is an activity process that work, artist and recipient generate it.
