Özet:

The concept of ontology, which emerged as the philosophy of existence, later expanded its field with the help of theorists and leapt to art. Ontology in art has been shaped according to the kind of artwork it deals with and spreaded its area from existence up to aesthetics. Ontological analysis is an analysis method that was first introduced by Roman Ingarden and later processed and developed by Nicolai Hartmann. İsmail Tunalı introduced the ontology of art and Ingarden's and Hartmann's theories to the Turkish literature. The ontological analysis method in literature aims to analyze the work by dividing it into layers in terms of both sound and meaning and to investigate the artist's reflection in the work. In this sense, the method is aimed at showing the multidimensional structure of the work and revealing its aesthetic value. The present study aimed to investigate the poem of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, one of the important names in the Turkish literature, “Time in Bursa” with the method of ontological analysis, and the sound and meaning aspect of the poem will be analyzed by dividing into layers of existence reflected to the work.
