Özet:

 Throughout the history of humanity, the concepts of human dignity and equality have been significant topics of discussion among philosophers. These ideas trace their origins back to Aristotle and have evolved through the Stoics, culminating in the contemporary philosopher Martha C. Nussbaums Capabilities Approach. This approach primarily focuses on determining what individuals are capable of and aims to establish a more equitable societal framework based on these capabilities. Notably, women, who have often been denied a life that aligns with human dignity and equality, fall within the purview of Martha C. Nussbaums work. One of the most renowned works in Turkish literature, the masnavi of Leylâ and Mecnûn, is globally recognized for its portrayal of the love story between a woman and a man that ultimately leads to separation. However, this narrative goes beyond depicting a mere love story; it holds value in its depiction of the life of one of the main protagonists, Leylâ. This study seeks to uncover the longstanding inequalities, marginalization, ignorance and injustices experienced by women over centuries, utilizing Nussbaums approach, with a focus on the character of Leylâ. Drawing from literature and philosophy, this analysis aims to shed light on the state of women who were historically deprived of the right to make decisions and choices, using Leylâ as a representative case study.

 İnsanlık tarihi boyunca insanın insanca yaşaması, insanlık onuru ve eşit bir hayata sahip olması felsefeciler arasında önemli konulardan biri olmuştur. Aristoteles ile başlayan bu düşünceler Stoacılar ile devam etmiş, çağdaş felsefecilerden Martha C. Nussbaumun Yapabilirlik Yaklaşımı ile daha da geliştirilerek tanımlı bir hâle gelmiştir. İnsanın yapabilir olduğu şeylerin belirlenmesi ve insanlara buna göre daha eşit bir hayat düzeni oluşturulması bu yaklaşımın en önemli temelidir. Özellikle insan onuruna uygun ve eşit bir hayat sürmekten uzak olan kadınlar Martha C. Nussbaumun çalışma alanlarına girmektedir. Türk edebiyatının en önemli eserinden olan Leylâ ve Mecnûn mesnevileri tüm dünyada bilinen bir eser olup bir kadın ile erkeğin ayrılıkla sonuçlanan aşkını anlatmaktadır. Yalnızca bir aşkı anlatmakla kalmayan bu hikâye, ana kahramanlarından olan Leylânın hayatını da bize aktarması yönüyle kıymetlidir. Bu çalışmada Leylâdan hareketle yüzyıllardan beri kadınların yaşadıkları eşitsizlikleri, değersizlikleri, yok sayılmayı ve adaletsizlikleri Nussbaumun da yaklaşımı ile ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Leylâdan hareketle insanlık tarihinde irade koyma ve seçme hakkından uzak tutulan kadınların hâli, edebiyat ve felsefe çalışmalarının ortaklığında ifade edilecektir.
