Özet:

In this study Nursi’s thought of theological anthropology will be examined. Nursi’s works of theological anthropology includes three basic topics. These are origins and purposes of human beings, their epistemology and ethics. Nursi’s conception of the origins and purposes of human beings can be grounded and justified by the Qur’an. In Nursi’s perspective the ethical values and codes of human conducts can be searched and found in the Qur’an. In Nursi’s arguments the Qur’an sufficiently and explicitly explains all ethical values and codes of human conducts demanded and approved by God for human beings. In Muslim theological history Ash`arism has similar justifications like Nursi does. Nursi’s understanding of the Qur’an is fully confident, sufficient and complete in that ethical values and codes of conducts for human beings related to the good and bad or evil, useful and harmful can be explained within the scope of the Qur’an.
