Summary/Abstract: The relationship between literature, especially poetry, and philosophy dates back to archaic times. It is a key to observe how the paradigm shifts in philosophy can transform the poet's persona and the content of the poems. Scientific and philosophical developments in the West induced individual and social paradigms to reshape. This transformation, with the declaration of Tanzimat, has changed the way of individuals' positioning themselves with society and existence. Impacts of the change first observed in the poetry which had been the main communication tool of the Ottoman literature for centuries. In this context, one of the salient transformation in poems during the Tanzimat Reform Era was the reflection of deist ideas on the content of the writings.
