Özet:

 There are two basic paradigms in social sciences. The first of these is positivism, which is based on explanation-oriented thought; the other is the understandinginterpretive paradigm that emerged as an alternative to positivism. As a theory of meaning that finds its place in many socio-cultural fields, the hermeneutic approach is among the paradigms based on understandinginterpretation. The hermeneutic approach appears at the point of comprehending the invisible, beyond the observable. In this context, examining Mevlevi Rites in a hermeneutical context as a part of Turkish culture from a socio-cultural perspective is important in terms of revealing the meaning of the Rites. The Mevlevi order is based on the principle of unity of exictence in sufi thought and at the same time it is based on an esoteric belief system. In this sense, Mevlevism and Mevlevi Rites, which reflect the belief system mentioned, have meanings beyond the obvious. Particularly, music, which is the dominant element in the ceremony, draws attention as a character that has the capacity to direct the performance. In this direction, the performances during the ritual start with music and the continuity of the ritual is ensured by being managed with music. Therefore, in Mevlevi order, music serves as a tool that accompanies ecstasy. Every movement, every practice, and every stage, every phenomenon and every act of the Mevlevi Rites, which is an integral part of the performance, contains metaphorical meanings. In this context, in the research, which is limited to the theological dimension of the hermeneutic paradigm, the spiritual meanings of the Mevlevi rites were determined by the literature study, the documents related to the subject were examined, the descriptive analysis of the data obtained was made and the findings were revealed.

 Sosyal bilimlerde iki temel paradigmadan söz edilmektedir. Bunlardan ilki açıklamaya yönelik düşüncede temellenen pozitivizm; diğeri ise poziti-vizme alternatif olarak ortaya çıkan anlayıcıyorumlayıcı paradigmadır. Sosyo-kültürel manada birçok alanda kendine yer bulan bir anlam kuramı olarak hermeneutik yaklaşım anlamayayorumlamaya dayalı paradigmalar arasında yer almaktadır. Hermeneutik yaklaşım görünenin aksine görünmeyeni kavrayabilme noktasında karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu minvalde sosyo-kültürel açıdan Türk kültürünün bir parçası olarak Mevlevi ayinlerini hermeneutik bağlamda ele almak ayinlerin anlam dünyasını ortaya çıkarmak açısından önem arz etmektedir. Mevlevilik tarikatı tasavvuf düşüncesinde vahdet-i vücud esasına ve aynı zamanda ezoterik bir inanç sistemine dayanmaktadır. Bu manada bahsi geçen inanç sistemini yansıtan Mevlevilik ve Mevlevi ayinleri görünenin ötesinde anlamlar içermektedir. Özellikle musiki, ayinlerde ana unsur olarak öne çıkarak, doğrudan töreni yönlendirebilen bir niteliğe sahiptir. Bu doğrultuda ritüel esnasındaki icralar musiki ile başlamakta ve musiki ile yönetilerek ritüelin sürekliliği sağlanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Mevlevilikte musiki vecde eşlik eden bir araç misyonu görmektedir. Mevlevi semaında yapılan her hareket, her uygulama ve merasimin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan Mevlevi ayinlerinin her aşaması, her olgusu ve her edimi içinde metaforik anlamlar barındırmaktadır. Bu çerçevede hermeneutik paradigmasının teolojik boyutu ile sınırlı olan araştırmada Mevlevi ayinlerinin manevi anlamları literatür çalışmasıyla tespit edilmiş, konu ile alakalı belgeler incelenmiş, elde edilen verilerin betimsel analizi yapılmış ve bulgular ortaya konulmuştur.
