Özet:

 One of the prominent themes in Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınars texts is, in his own words, the crisis of civilization change. The debate that at first glance seems like the East-West and tradition-modernity tension, can be considered as an extension of Tanpınars understanding and interpretation of mentalcognitive process the population underwent from the Ottoman to the Republican Period. In all of his long fictions, he moves forvard an enchanted world such as imaginations, dreams and fairy tales to a restless awakening, and then to a life suppressed breality. The three separate livesworlds that intertwine from time to time in Tanpınars narratives, is close to the concept set of the Law of Three Stages that Aguste Comte uses when explaining the transformation of Western societies. According to the Law of Three Stages by Comte, Western societies have reached their present mentalcognitive state from a theological world to metaphysics and finally to a positive positivistic level. Tanpınar, who does not have a determinist and progressive perspective like Comte and who on the contrary is more of a man of life, it is not under the influence of positivist philosophy. Nevertheless, with the Enlightenment philosophy that Comte belongs to, he looks at the world under the roof of Western civilization, to which he also feels he belongs. This study investigates the projection of the theological, metaphysical and positivist world in the social and political culture from the Ottoman to the Turkish Republican Period in Tanpınars narratives. In this regard, a review covering all long fictions, including the novel series with the titles Acıbademdeki Köşk, Mahur Beste, Sahnenin Dışındakiler, the title Huzur, Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü SAE and the unfinished Aydaki Kadın is presented.

 Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınarın metinlerinde öne çıkan temalardan biri, kendi ifadesiyle, medeniyet değiştirme krizidir. İlk bakışta Doğu-Batı, gelenek-modernlik gerilimi gibi görünen tartışma, Tanpınarın Osmanlıdan Türkiyeye toplumun geçirdiği zihinselbilişsel süreci anlama ve anlamlandırma uğraşının uzantısı sayılabilir. Tanpınar, uzun kurmacalarının tümünde hayal, rüya, masal gibi efsunlu bir dünyadan huzursuz uyanışa, devamında gerçekliğin bastırdığı yaşantıya doğru yol alır. Yazarın anlatılarında zaman zaman iç içe geçen üç ayrı hayatdünya, Auguste Comteun Batı toplumlarının dönüşümünü açıklarken başvurduğu Üç Hal Yasasının kavram setine yakındır. Comtecu Üç Hal Yasasına göre, zihinselbilişsel olarak Batı toplumları bugünkü haline teolojik bir dünyadan metafiziğe ve son olarak da pozitif olgucu düzeye ulaşarak varmıştır. Comte gibi determinist ve ilerlemeci bir perspektife sahip olmayan hatta aksi istikamette bir hayat adamı olan Tanpınar, pozitivist felsefenin tesiri altında değildir. Yine de Comteun dahil olduğu Aydınlanma felsefesi ile kendisini de ait hissettiği Batı medeniyeti çatısı altından dünyaya bakmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Tanpınar anlatılarında teolojik, metafizik ve pozitivist dünyanın Osmanlıdan Türkiyeye toplumsal ve siyasal kültüre izdüşümünü aramaktadır. Bu bağlamda Acıbademdeki Köşk hikâyesi, Mahur Beste, Sahnenin Dışındakiler ve Huzurdan oluşan nehir roman serisine Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü SAE ile tamamlanamamış Aydaki Kadın da eklenerek, tüm uzun kurgularını kapsayan bir inceleme sunulmaktadır.
