Abstract

Ninian Smart has been among the most important phenomenologists of religion/researchers especially in the late period of twenty century. Smart offers to analize and identify of religion as multidimensional, dynamic and dialectical, by pointing to the one-sidedness of the methods used to analysis religion and present the definitions of religion. In this regard, he argues that religion must be examinated and analized in the context of seven-dimensional model of religion, defining it as a seven-dimensional organisms. Seven-dimensional model of religion that he named the dual mode consists of dimensions practice-ritual, experience-emotional, narrative-mythic, doctrinal-philosophical, ethicallegal, social-institutional and material-artistic. Smart who thinks that these dimensions are more or less all religions, points that dimensions, each religion gives more or less importance by itself, are available and may be available. He aims to provide a picture of the general characteristics of religion and religions through this model. Smart who adopts phenomenological approach and tries to practice the principle of value-freedom in religious studies, recognizing Islam among the major world religions, expresses that the religion can be examined in the context of seven-dimensional model. In this regard, he propounds important analyzes and opinions about Islam in his various works. In this article, it has been discussed ideas of Ninian Smart about Islam in the context of seven-dimensional model.

Özet

Ninian Smart, özellikle yirminci yüzyılın son döneminin en önemli dinaraştırmacıları arasında yer alır. O, mevcut din tanımlarının ve dini analiz etmedekullanılan yöntemlerin tek yönlülüğüne işaret ederek, dinin çok boyutlu,dinamik ve diyalektik olarak tanımlanmasını ve analiz edilmesini önerir. Budoğrultuda dini yedi boyutlu bir organizma şeklinde tanımlayarak, dinin yediboyutlu din modeli bağlamında incelenmesi ve analiz edilmesi gerektiğinisöyler. Onun ikili tarzda isimlendirdiği yedi boyutlu din modeli; pratik-ritüel,tecrübi-duygusal, hikayesel-mitolojik, doktrinel-felsefi, ahlaki-yasal, sosyalorganizasyonelve materyal-sanatsal boyutlardan oluşur. O, bu model aracılığıyladinin ve dinlerin genel özelliklerinin bir resmini sunmayı amaçlar. Dinaraştırmalarında fenomenolojik anlayışı benimseyen ve “değer yargısızlık” ilkesiniuygulamaya çalışan Smart, İslam’ı büyük dünya dinleri arasında kabulederek yedi boyutlu din modeli bağlamında incelenebileceğini ifade eder. Budoğrultuda çeşitli eserlerinde İslam’la ilgili önemli analizler ve görüşler ortayakoyar. Bu makalede Ninian Smart’ın yedi boyutlu din modeli bağlamındaİslam’la ilgili görüşleri ele alınmaktadır.
