WHY YUNUS' HUMANISM IN PARTICULAR? |
|
Come here, let's make peace, let's not be strangers to one another. We have saddled the horse and trained it, glory be to God. |
Yunus Emre lived seven centuries ago and recited verses which are
amazingly similar to humanistic ideals that are becoming popular
in the last couple of decades as we will see in another stop during
our journey. He attached values from almost any imaginable field of
humanism into his philosophy and told his audiences in a simple
language. Understanding of his humanism might shed light to what is
possibly the philosophy of life of thirteenth century Anatolians.
