Özet:

In this article, the existence categories of Ahmet Yesevi in Divân-i Hikmet are studied with the help of conceptual and phenomenological research methods. The purpose of the article is to study the subjects of the human nature, the meaning of life, the relationship between existence and time, the true love to the Creator and the kind of relationship between life and death. In the article, existential qualities that define the human nature were analyzed using the wisdom of Ahmet Yesevi. Although not among the existants, the concepts of the "Knowledge Book" which can be clearly distinguished from the wisdom of the existing categories of Ahmet Yesevi are a treasure of answers to the questions of love for the souls in the existing crisis. The main purpose of the "science" is religious, and Ahmet Yesevi, using existential categories, gives orientative advice on vital issues such as the creation of the world and the human nature (existence). When we talk about the orientation of existing categories, we mean the understanding of Husserl’s orientation in phenomenology; this sees the action of orientation as the incorporation of the essence, without distracting attention to other cognitive structures, only into the analysis of a particular philosophical object. What is clearly expressed in the Wisdom of Ahmet Yesevi is the experience of this subjective experience and inspection movement. Today, existential philosophy has come to a point where important concepts and metaphysical phenomena can be discussed in human life. Ahmet Yesevi has spoken about such profound and special existential categories as life and death. In modern philosophy, existence attracted attention to these concepts and phenomena. From the point of view of the existence, life has the highest value even in a absurd situation. But life is always limited to death. The search for the meaning of life, loss and life on the threshold of death is the topics that Ahmet Yesevi brought up long before the existence of the twentieth century. Keywords: Ahmet Yesevi, Wisdom, Existential Motives, Orientation, Transandant Experiences.
