Wittgenstein’da Anlam ve Mistisizmin İki İslam düşünüründen Hareketle Değerlendirilmesi

One of the greatest philosophers in contemporary philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein, presents a picture theory of language that describes reality in his work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. In this theory, the non-factual is positioned outside the boundaries of language. Wittgenstein takes a mystical stance on the inexpressible and deals with them in terms of a theory of meaning based on depiction. In addition, Wittgenstein reconsiders the problem of meaning in the context of the use of language in his late works and makes some corrections in his views. Wittgenstein, who was previously influenced by the view that only the factual can be meaningful, which was discussed in the Vienna circle, also settles on a position related to mysticism. In the present study, Wittgenstein's views on meaning are compared with those of Ibn Khaldun, and his views on mysticism with those of Ibn Arabi, and it is aimed to determine their similarities. Key Words: Wittgenstein, Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Arabi, meaning, mystisicsm, metaphysics
