Kelam’ın Meşrûiyeti Sorunu -Ehl-i Sünnet Kelamı ve Olgusal Gerçeklik Arasındaki İlişki-

Abstract

Kalam is a science that determines the convictional construction of the religion considering the content/subject and the method. In particular, following the life and its change, Kalam evaluates the effect of every new arising attitude on the individual and the community and its reflection on the convictional conduct according to the sources and general principles of the religion. In this study, we examine the interaction between Kalam and fact, and that to what extent it is natural, particularly in the examples of Hasan Basri, Abu Hanifa and Ashari. Thus, we expect that opposing to the claims which are based on the religious arguments, it will be proved that there is a necessary relation between Kalam and factual reality.
