Hâşiyetu Matla (Ta‘Lîkât ‘Ale’l-Mukaddemât) Metin, Tercüme Ve Şeyh Bedreddin Metafiziği Açısından Önemi

Abstract

Wāridāt includes important data related to metaphysical aspects of Shaykh Badr al-Dīn’s thought. However, the work itself is inadequate to draw a clear and complete picture. Moreover, its stylistic and content-related structure makes continuous debates between researchers inevitable. Shaykh Badr al-Dīn’s ideas oscillate between waḥdat al- mawjūd, which can also be considered as a naïve pantheism, and waḥdat al-wujūd. On the other hand, Shaykh Badr al-Dīn himself annotated at least forty-one ta‘līqs to Dāwūd al-Qaysarī’s Muqaddimāt, a classic work in terms of systematics of mysticism. Known as Hāshiyat al-Matla‘i Khusūs al-Kilam Fī Ma‘ānī Fusūs al-Hikam in literature, these ta‘līqs are important to clarify metaphysical lines which are not systematically presented in Wāridāt. Hence, they provide an opportunity to contribute to the on-going debates. For example, concepts not mentioned in Wāridāt such as al-‘amā, five divine presences (al-ḥaḍarāt al-ilāhiyya al-khams), the holiest emanation (al-fayḍ al-aqdas), the holy emanation (al-fayḍ al-muqaddas), permanent archetypes (al-aʿyān al-thābita), and in gradation (al-tashkīk) or some references to ‘Abd al-Razzāq al-Qāshānī, and even to Dāwūd al-Qaysarī can be found in the ta‘līqs. These findings can be used to develop a better understanding of Shaykh Badr al-Dīn’s thought. On this ground, this study was based on a metaphysical framework which means a study on the origin and the end of existence, and their processes on difference plane. Following this framework, ranks of existence in Shaykh Badr al-Dīn’s thought were re-examined considering the concepts hadarāt al-khamsah and permanent archetypes. The relation between this framework and two of the most controversial issues in Wāridāt, incorporeality of the afterlife and the eternity of the universe, was questioned. We proposed and provided justifications about renaming the work Hāshiyat al-Matla‘i Khusūs al- Kilam Fī Ma‘ānī Fusūs al-Hikam as “Ta‘līqāt ‘alā al-Muqaddimāt” (TM). Moreover, in the additional section, we contributed to the literature by transcripting and translating the ta‘līqs, which signed by Shaykh Badr al-Dīn.&nbsp
