Abstract

In this article, we represent two different letters written by Ahmed Avni Konuk to John Kingsley Birge who was a missionary lived in Turkey. In those letters, it can be understood that Ahmed Avni Konuk’s aim was to introduce the works of Rûmî and İbn al-Arabî to the Western World. Although it is not common to see letters written by a sûfi to a missionary, this attempt could be regarded as a part of convergence policy of the Ottoman Empire to the Western World.

Özet

Bu makale ile son dönem Osmanlı mutasavvıflarından Ahmed Avni Konuk’un aynı dönemde ülkemizde yaşamış John Kingsley Birge adlı misyonere göndermiş olduğu iki mektubun muhtevası sunulmuştur. Anlaşıldı­ğı üzere, Ahmed Avni Konuk bu mektupları Mevlânâ ve İbnü’l-Arabî’nin eserlerini yurt dışında da tanıtmak amacıyla yazmıştır. Her ne kadar bir mutasavvıf ile bir misyonerin mektuplaşması sıra dışı karşılanabilse de, bu giri­şim, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Batı Dünyası’na yakınlaşma politikasının bir uzantısı olarak kabul edilmelidir.
