Abstract

There is several ways for religious life in Christianity. The asceticism is one of them. Meanwhile, asceticism has been understood and lived in a diverse manner. Throughout the entire life, to stand on the top of a pillar was a very interesting method for an ascetic life. Simeon has lived almost forty years on the top of a pillar. Before ascending a pillar, he had joined a monastery and tried an extreme way of mysticism in there. After disrupting the order in the monastery, he had to leave it and therefore, he opted a hermetic life. In this article, it has been dealtwith the life of St. Simeon the Stylite, his activities, and why he could choosethis type of way as a mystical expression.

Özet

Hıristiyanlıkta dini yaşamın birçok şekli bulunmaktadır. Asketizm bunlardan biridir. Bununla birlikte asketizm de çok farklı şekillerde anlaşılmış ve yaşanmıştır. Bir ömür boyu bir sütunun üstünde durmak, asketik bir yaşam için çok ilginç bir metottur. Simeon yaklaşık kırk yıl bir sütunun üzerinde yaşadı. Sütunun üstüne çıkmadan önce bir manastıra katılmış ve orada aşırı mistik bir yaşam denemiştir. Manastırdaki düzeni bozduğu için orayı terk etmek zorunda kalır ve o da bir keşiş gibi yaşamayı tercih eder. Bu makalede Aziz Simeon'un hayatı, faaliyetleri ve mistik bir yaşam biçimi olarak niçin böyle bir yolu seçmiş olabileceği ele alınmaktadır.
