Based on the divans of some sufi poets, the concept of insan-i kamil in terms of its relationship with root values

One of the basic building blocks of nations is their values. Societies that do not have their own values are not expected to form a solid identity. The values of nations have kept them in discipline and made them stronger in the face of the events they have experienced. Therefore, the values referred to here are not only an indoctrination regarding upbringing, but also include the process of identity formation. Throughout history, societies have been in different searches for values education and have sought ways to convey the values that make up their identities in the best way. At this point, literature has always had an important place. In our culture, literary works are one of the effective tools in the transfer of values. In today's conditions, it is aimed to convey values to students through schools and literary works presented to students here. In this context, in our study, the divans written by some Sufi poets starting from the XIVth century until the XXth century were examined for the inclusion of 10 root values in the 2018 Turkish language and literature curriculum and the relationship of these values with the concept of perfect person (insan-I kamil) was determined. The divans of 13 Sufi poets and the 2018 Turkish language and literature curriculum were examined as data collection tools. While conducting this examination, document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data obtained from the analyzed divans were first evaluated according to 10 root values and the status of the poems containing these values was determined. Then, the relationship of these poetry examples with the concept of the perfect person (insan-I kamil) was determined and the contribution of the values to the study was revealed. Among the poems analyzed, the ones suitable for the study were identified and the relationship between root values and the human being was revealed in these poems. After the examinations, it was determined that there are examples of poems that will sufficiently reveal the relationship between the concept of perfect person (insan-ı kamil) and root values. It has been understood that the root values in the poems do not show a similar distribution in number, some values are represented in a large number of poetry examples, while there are very few poetry examples related to some values.
