ISTANBUL – Anadolu Company
An Ottoman poetry knowledgeable has claimed that German thinker Friedrich Nietzsche solely selected to deal with philosophy after failing in his bid to develop into an Ottoman poetry-inspired author.
Hayati İnanç, who’s well-known in Turkey as an knowledgeable on classical Turkish poetry, stated Nietzsche got here to the conclusion that he couldn’t develop into a poet after learning two seventeenth century Turkish poets Naili and Abi.
“Nietzsche studied two nice Turkish poets, Naili and Abi. He then concluded that he couldn’t develop into a poet and was obliged to develop into a thinker as a substitute,” İnanç stated.
“So we will nearly say that what made Nietzsche a thinker was Ottoman poetry,” he added.
İnanç additionally claimed that Nietzsche stated the Ottomans had been closest to “the middle of fact” and praised Ottoman poetry as “distinctive.”
