Abstract

This study is based on the work published by Cengiz Gündoğdu titled Hacı Bektâş-ı Velî ve Kâmil İnsan-Fâzıl Toplum Paradigm. Bektashism is one of the formations that has had a profound impact on the religious, moral, mystical, literary, cultural, political and military structure of Turkish society since its first emergence. There are very few primary sources on the life, historical personality and teachings of Hacı Bektâş-ı Velî, the Pīr of Bektashism, in the ancient period. In this study, the author aims to draw the general framework of the phenomenon of Bektashism within the scientific principles, and in realizing this goal, he has made a rich literature review that can help to understand Hacı Bektaş-ı Velî and his teaching, which is presented in its historical, spatial and contemporary dimensions. The author has carried out an objective reading of the information he has obtained from these sources, resulting in a meticulous, academic work of 440 pages.
