Sakallı Celal's name was first mentioned in a quote by @19fourty5: "Such ignorance is only possible with education." -Bearded Celal-" I heard this comment and I became incredibly curious about the person who said it. I am grateful to him for introducing me to this unique philosopher whose name is little known.
Sakallı Celal worked as a teacher's assistant in the Ottoman and Republican periods; French, philosophy and "natural science" He is an intellectual who worked as a teacher, assistant principal and principal in "Sultani" schools, but he always left these positions in a somewhat dramatic manner. The reason for his resignation from his duties is that he has a character that does not deviate from what he knows is right and does not bend or bend.
Bearded Celal is an interesting person. witty; The one who does not touch the door handles and opens them with the heel of his arm because he is afraid of catching germs; who covers his mouth with a newspaper while speaking for the same reason; His pockets are full of stuff; The dress she had worn for years was in tatters; Afraid of catching germs and not at peace with water; Smells like disinfectant; A personality who did justice to his surname, Yalnız, until the end of his life.
The ideals and life of Sakallı Celal are best summarized by Prof. Dr. Fatma Koray (granddaughter of Sakallı Celal's older brother Cemal). He summarizes: " I think it is possible to describe Celal Bey's life as a 'protest novel'. The disappointment and resentment of expecting society to always move forward but never seeing it! The struggle of saying 'I will remain uncorrupted' in a corrupting environment! It's like spending a long, tiring winter in a house without a stove. Or struggling not to splash dirt on yourself when you accidentally fall into a sewer. Like in Cervantes's sympathetic Don Quixote, it is like the depression that leads to assuming certain values in society but not being able to see them! (Page 168)
As someone who does not enjoy reading long reviews, I do not want to extend the word any further. I hope I was able to arouse in you the curiosity that @19fourty5 aroused in me towards Sakallı Celal, whom Melih Cevdet Anday described as 'an old-time hero' :)
