YAHUDI TEOLOJISINDE MU’TEZILI EĞILIMLER-KISA BIR TARAMA

Bu çalışma, 8.-9. yüzyıllardaki başlangıcından 17. yüzyıla kadar Yahudi Mu'tezililiği üzerine kısa bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Tanınmış Yahudi Mu'tezilî yazarlar ve onlara ait eserler de çalışmada kısaca tanıtılmıştır. Yahudi Mu'tezililiğinin gelişimini 3 devreye ayırabiliriz: 1) Eklektizm ve doktrin çeşitliliğiyle karakterize edilebilecek olan erken dönem; 2) Basra Bahşamiyye ekolünün Rabbinikler ve Karaylar tarafından benimsendiği "klasik" dönem; 3) Mu'tezile düşüncesinin somut örneklerinin üretildiği geç dönem. Çalışmanın sonunda Yahudi Mu'tezililiğinin Endülüs'teki serüveni ile ilgili de kısaca bilgi verilmiştir

Mu‘tazılı Trends In Jewısh Theology - A Brief Survey

This article presents a brief survey of Jewish Mu‘tazilism, from its beginnings in the late eighth or early ninth century through the seventeenth century. Short descriptions of known Jewish Mu‘tazilî authors and their works are provided. We can divide the development of Jewish Mu‘tazilism into three periods: 1) the early period characterized by eclecticism and doctrinal variety; 2) the “classic” period in which the Basran Bahshamiyya school was adopted by both Rabbanites and Karaites; 3) the late period in which epitomes of Mu‘tazilî thought were produced. The article concludes with a brief consideration of Mu‘tazilism in al-Andalus
