Life in the philosophy of Kayserili Dâvûd

Life is a consept that have been investigated by philosopher for centuries. What is the life? What is the source of life? What is the border between liveliness and lifeless? These are importantant questions about subject. Kayserili Davud is one of thinkers who answered these questions. He is explanatory and pursuer of İbn Arabî.Kayserili Davud thinks that everything is alive. According to him God is alive and his life adjective has been reflected to everything. It means, God is source of life in existence. Everyone can not understand that everything is alive. It is clear for only ?keşif ehli?. The others can not understand that and they separate existence with saying alive and lifeless.According to Kayserili Davud there are three kinds of death. He talks about natural death firstly. Secondly he talks about deliberatly death. İt is death who was made by ?sâlik?. Thirdly he talks about stuation of unbeliever. They are supposed death because they are covered up to truth.According to Kayserili Davud water is origin of life. Every alive was made of water. The water is not only important in point of physical, it is important also in point of metaphysical.Metaphysical water was called ?küllî unsur? and ?Rahmanî Nefes?. It is not water which we know. But its appearences look like water.For human real life is knowledge. It is soul?s life. ?Ledünnî İlim? is purposed with saying knowledge. This knowledge is God?s knowledge. But human can know only God?s names and adjectives, not his peson. Because there is no connection between his person and universe.
