Milestones of the Philosophical Construction in Risale-i Nur by Imam Nursi (Reflections on the Concept of the Universal Human Essence)

Abstract

This article aims to explore the features of the philosophical structure within the folds of the intellectual legacy of Imam Nursi, what was included in the Risale-i Nur, and thus the research aims to reveal the features of the philosophical structure implied by the Risale-i Nur of the Nursi Imam and its regularity, support, and richness. To define a framework for research, we proceed in our study from a framework that we take as a starting point and a specific one for it. It is represented in the realization of consideration and thought in the concept of the universal human essence, considering it as a single example within a system that includes a range of concepts that represent basic pillars on which Imam Nursi praised his philosophical construction.

Dealing with the intellectual product of Imam Nursi according to a philosophical approach is based on contemplation and contemplation of extended texts in the times of their authorship and codification on the one hand, and multiple in their places of occurrence through a range of literature on the other hand; All of this requires that the product be managed by diagnosing its general faculties and concepts and corresponding them with more interpretation, analysis, reasoning and linking. This puts the study in the context of analytical studies, which requires the adoption of a rigorous analytical methodology. The fruit of this study is that the philosophical legacy of Nursi is clearly manifested in what he created for a range of philosophical concepts that were characterized by regularity and support, and thus the breadth and novelty of the philosophical lesson to which the Risale-i Nur opens, as well as the breadth of the repertoire of knowledge and the scientific reference on which Nursi relies.
