Analysis of the concepts of salvation, truth and Islamic state in Rasim Özdenören's works

This thesis focuses on the concepts of Islamic state, truth and salvation, which Rasim Özdenören frequently discusses in his works. Özdenören is a writer, thinker and journalist who has an important place in Turkish literature in the second half of the 20th century. He reflected various aspects of his period and society by frequently dealing with Islamic themes, social and political criticism in his works. In this study, Özdenören's understanding of the Islamic state, his search for truth and his vision of salvation are examined in depth, based on his works in the genre of stories and essays. The aim of the study is to discuss Özdenören's literary and intellectual heritage in detail and to reveal his perspectives on the concepts of Islamic state, truth and salvation in his works. Özdenören's works were generally shaped around these basic concepts, and these concepts formed the cornerstones of the author's world of thought. In this context, the thesis aims to discuss how Özdenören shapes his works through these three main themes, how these themes are processed in his works, and the prevalence of these themes today. It is clear that Özdenören's works have an important place in Turkish literature and thought. However, it seems that detailed studies on his works are limited in the literature. This thesis aims to fill this gap in the literature and offer a new perspective on Özdenören's world of thought by analyzing his works in detail through the concepts of Islamic state, truth and salvation. It also aims to provide an important resource to both literary scholars and researchers in the field of social sciences by contributing to the understanding and evaluation of Özdenören's works. This study also aims to provide inspiration and a basis for future studies by emphasizing Özdenören's literary and intellectual importance.
