Ruhları Konuşturmak: A‘mâk-ı Hayâl, Mezâmîr-i Felsefeden İnsaniyete Veche Veren Büyük Ruhlar ve Rü’ya’nın Spiritüalist Kökleri.

Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi’s A‘mâk-ı Hayâl, Tahir Harîmî Balcıoğlu’s Mezâmîr-i Felsefeden İnsaniyete Veche Veren Büyük Ruhlar, and Cafer Ergin’s Rü’ya have clear traces of the thoughts of Allan Kardec, the founder of modern spiritualism. The influence of spiritualism has resulted in the use of a common narrative style in these three works, which is centered around the communication of great spirits through dreams. The most important feature of this style of expression is that the spirits themselves tell the spirit and the religious and philosophical content of the concept of spirit. A’mâk-ı Hayâl, which is the most well-known among such works, is based on the spiritual experiences of Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi, was initially hesitant about the existence of the soul, but eventually became convinced through his experiences. Likewise, Tahir Harîmî wrote his work based on a spiritual experience told to him. In this study, firstly, the spiritual events experienced by Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi and Tahir Harîmî before they wrote their books are included and the relationship of both authors with spiritualism is tried to be shown. The change of Filibeli Ahmed Hilmi’s thoughts on the soul is revealed by utilizing his memoirs published in Şehbal magazine titled “Eski Fikirler, Yeni Şekiller: Ulûm-ı Garîbe ve İspitirizma”, a memoir published in Şehbal magazine. Later, the effect of The Spirits Books, written by Allan Kardec, on three works mentioned was examined. This effect is examined under the titles of the purpose of writing, spirit, dream and Prophet Muhammad emphasis and examples taken from the works about these titles are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
