Absurd Philosophy in Classical Kurdish Poetry Characteristics of

Abstract

This Research focuses on the Philosophy of Absurdity in Classical Kurdish Poetry. The Philosophy of Absurdity is a relatively new philosophical concept that emerged in the twentieth century, drawing principles from both absurdism and existentialism. It generally asserts that while life itself may have inherent meaning, followers of this philosophy view that meaning as ultimately insignificant and devoid of importance. Therefore, individuals must create their own meaning and purpose in life. Prominent thinkers such as Albert Camus and Søren Kierkegaard grappled with the notion of meaninglessness, which laid the foundation for the Philosophy of Absurdity. These ideas, which influenced the formation of the Philosophy of Absurdity, also found expression in literature. Every literary text represents a particular thought, belief, and ideology. In Kurdish literature, including classical poetry, the symbols of this philosophy are clearly evident. Kurdish poets sought to establish a specific meaning for life and existence, aligning themselves with the characteristics. Although they do not confuse distance, but before absurdity appeared as a philosophical method, there was a human question about existence, life and death from the beginning. How, why, when and why... These questions constantly revolve in the human mind. The poet, as an intelligent and predictive person, embodies the answers to these questions in poetry.
