Music, Phenomenon and Logos in the Works of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi: A Hermeneutic Interpretation

Summary/Abstract: The works of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, the main sources of Sufi thought, have been followed, have inspired, and have been researched. In these works, the subjects related to music are part of the most fundamental discourses of creation and intensely symbolized forms of divine love. The depth and multiple meanings in the metaphors related to music are related to the intellectual development of Sufi thought from ancient times to the 13th century. They are related to many philosophical, cosmological, and metaphysical teachings that influenced Sufism. In this study, the metaphors related to music in the Mesnevi, Divan-ı Kebir and Rubais were scanned based on the research question of what the philosophical, cosmological and metaphysical influences are. The themes influencing sacred knowledge and divine teachings were coded, the Sufi phenomena represented by musical metaphors were determined. The scientific categories forming the foundations of Sufism were linked to the musical metaphors, and the prominent subjects were associated with the Sufism literature, philosophy, and historical knowledge. Therefore, a hermeneutic interpretation process was carried out within a historical and ontological framework. By drawing attention to the teachings affecting Sufism through musical metaphors, I comment on the nature and origin of the multiple meanings attributed to music. As a result, the Pythagorean universe and music relationship in the verses, the relationship between God, humans and music within the scope of Hermetic cosmology, the effects of the Platonic view on the framework of ‘Sema’ were determined.
