Abstract

This study aims to analyze how religious concepts are formed, rooted, and institutionalized within the Turkish collective mind and mental structure, through a foundational and analytical approach centered on Turkish Sufi poetry. The study is grounded in the hypothesis that Sufi poetry transcends its status as a mere literary genre, functioning instead as an anthropological and epistemological channel that transformed abstract and theoretical religious concepts into cultural frameworks accessible to the general public. This work integrates the descriptive-analytical method with the foundational (etymological) analytical method in order to trace the historical and semantic evolution of concepts. In constructing the theoretical framework, the study draws on collective mind theories, as well as the dialectical approaches of philosopher Yalçın Koç, which focus on mentality, phenomenology, and cognitive theory. In the textual analysis section, the poems of Sufi masters regarded as architects of the Turkish collective consciousness, such as Ahmad Yasawi and Yunus Emre, are deconstructed within their social and cultural contexts. The study concludes that Sufi poetry succeeded in "humanizing" religious doctrines and transforming them into behavioral patterns and social ethics, and that this condition continues to constitute a fundamental element shaping the structure of the contemporary Turkish mentality.
