Abstract

 Nabi, a poet who is sensitive to the society, informed the degeneration
and problems of his period by his poetries and made people see the facts in the
world of thought. Thus, Nabi was accepted as the first representative of the
philosophical style, hikemi, in classical Turkish literature. This
philosophical style that Nabi combined with poetry and thoughts has influenced
our Tanzimat literature poets such as Ziya Pasha and Namik Kemal as a result of
the confusion that continued after two centuries. This philosophical poem,
hikemi, known as the Nabi école (school), acted with great intelligence in the
works of Ziya Pasha, a statesman. As a matter of fact, Ziya Pasha, like our
classical literary poet Nabi, approached every objective existence with a
literary meticulousness and informed the problems of the period and the mistakes
underlying the problems from the same researcher window. In this work, we aimed
to examine the influence of Nabi's poems on Ziya Pasha's poems. Thus, the
influence of Classical Turkish Literature on the Tanzimat Literature will be
revealed and the social situation of the society at that time will be
uncovered.
