A theosophic approach to the theme of death in Yunus Emre

In this thesis, we tried to deal with Yunus Emre's thoughts on death from a thesophical point of view. Our work has been completed by examining Yunus Emre's Riselatü'n Nushiyye and Divan in detail as well as the articles written, the researches made in the national thesis center, and the books about Yunus Emre. Our study consists of four parts: Introductory part; We made an explanation by defining theology and sophia and; We touched upon Yunus Emre's life, works and philosophy. In the second part, we dealt with the history of the theme of death, and in the third part, human, God, soul and death are defined within the framework of Yunus Emre. Then in the fourth part, Yunus Emre's thought is evaluated with a theosophical approach as to existence and nonexistence. Our thesis ended by fully addressing the thesis in the conclusion part.
