I like not knowing about some things. Yes. I like it. Because it feels comfortable to me. I take refuge in the comfort of saying "I don't know." I read the Elephant Man story for the first time in this book. But I didn't know it was a famous story and based on a true event. Absolutely. So I'm glad I read it without knowing anything about it. Because it didn't affect my feelings.
I did a simple reading and I have simple feelings. Not exaggerated. The Elephant Man was a human and never a creature. Monster or creature. He was human. What about the other people? They are prejudiced. As always. I think the real creatures are the other people. Because they wounded a wounded person again and again. That evil requires having an evil heart. Right? Clear... Apart from that. The book is very easy to read because when I didn't know a word, I looked up its meaning on the next page. It was very comfortable. I didn't use a dictionary. Besides, this was a first-level reading. Beginner level. I will watch the movie. Of course, I will watch it in English. Because I made a promise to Professor Akif. Just like he promised Fuat Sezgin.
I know I'll always be grateful to him. That's it. That's all I know.
I had a crazy idea today. I've been reading Harry Potter for 23 years. It's time I started reading it in English. That's real magic!

Muhtemelen kitap okur gibi baştan sona okumayacağım ancak arada açıp belli pasajları çizdiğim oluyor. İnançsal boyutta bence en büyük çıkmazlardan biri ise (en büyüğü değil çünkü teslis başlı başına açıklaması zor bir problem) yanılmıyorsam Matthew 24:36'da o günü ve saati (kıyamet saatini) ne gökteki melekler ne de oğul bilir, yalnızca baba bilir denmesine karşın Hristiyan teolojisinde(Unitarians gibi istisna gruplar hariç) hem yahvenin hem de oğulun (yani isanın) all-knowing kabul edilmesi. Bence bu inanç direkt bu pasajla çelişiyor, genelde Hristiyanlar buna şöyle bir açıklama getiriyor: Tanrı kendi iradesini kullanarak oğul formundayken kendi gücünü kısıtladı, ancak bilmiyorum pek tatmin etmedi bu açıklama beni.

Schopenhauer’ın“Yeterli Temel İlkesinin Dörtlü Kökü Üzerine” (Über die vierfache Wurzel des Satzes vom zureichenden Grunde) kitabı, onun 1813’te doktora tezi olarak yazdığı, 24 yaşındayken bitirdiği ilk büyük çalışması. Daha sonra 1847’de ikinci baskısını gözden geçirip genişletti.
Kitabın Genel Özeti
Schopenhauer, Leibniz’in meşhur Yeterli Sebep İlkesi’ni alıyor ve bunu dört farklı alana ayırıyor. Ona göre bu ilke tek bir prensip ama dört kökü var. Kitap aslında “Neden her şeyin bir sebebi olmalı?” sorusunu sistematik olarak açıyor.
Dört Kök
1. Oluşun (Becoming) Kökü Fiziksel nedensellik
Fizik dünyadaki olaylar. Bir topa vurursan hareket eder. Sebep-sonuç ilişkisi.
2. Bilmenin (Knowing) Kökü Mantıksal gerekçe
Doğrular ve yargılar. “Neden buna inanıyorsun?” sorusunun cevabı.
3. Varlığın (Being) Kökü Uzay-zaman ilişkisi
Matematik ve geometri burada. Saf biçimsel zorunluluk.
4. İstemenin (Willing) Kökü Motivasyon
İnsan davranışlarında “Neden bunu yaptın?” sorusunun cevabı. İrade ve güdüler.
Schopenhauer bu dört kökün hepsinin aynı ilkenin farklı görünümleri olduğunu söylüyor ve Kant’tan etkilenerek ama onu eleştirerek kendi yolunu çiziyor.
Güçlü Yönleri
- Çok net, sistematik ve düzenli yazılmış.
- İlerideki başyapıtı “İstenç ve Tasarım Olarak Dünya”nın temel taşlarını döşüyor.
- Özellikle 3. ve 4. kökler oldukça orijinal ve düşündürücü.
Bu kitap, Schopenhauer’ın “ciddi felsefeci” tarafını en net gösterdiği eserlerinden biri. Ana kitabına geçiş için sağlam bir temel oluşturuyor.

As the fourth installment in Kawaguchi’s renowned series, Before We Say Goodbye offers a familiar yet profoundly moving structure. For those who have journeyed through the previous books, the narrative pattern remains consistent: a small, subterranean cafe in Tokyo, a set of unyielding rules, and a steaming cup of coffee that acts as a bridge between the present and the past.
There is an undeniable aesthetic harmony in reading this book during rainy weather. The sound of the rain outside mirrors the quiet, introspective atmosphere of the Funiculi Funicula cafe. To truly appreciate this story, one needs nothing more than a quiet corner, a warm cup of coffee, and the luxury of time.
At its core, the series continues to pose the same existential question: "If you could go back in time, knowing you cannot change the present, who would you choose to meet?" While some might see the repetition as a flaw, I see it as a meditative ritual.
Ultimately, I would define this work as a poignant chronicle of grief. It explores the weight of things left unsaid and the quiet strength required to finally let go. It reminds us that while we cannot rewrite our history, we can always choose to change how we carry our memories into the future.

[Türkçe]
1953 iran’ında aile ve toplumun dar sınırlarından kaçan ama yine ataerkinin düşünce yapısından tam olarak kaçamayan beş kadının birbirleriyle kesişen yollarını, birlikte erkeklerin olmadığı bir dünyada yaşayacakları bir geleceğin hayalini anlatıyor kitap . kadın özgürlüğünü tasvir ettiği için de yayımlandıktan kısa bir süre sonra da iran’da yasaklanmış zaten.
birbirine benzemeyen, bambaşka geçmişlere sahip bu beş kadını devletin kadın bedeni üzerinde hakimiyet kurma arzusu ve erkeklerin uyguladığı baskı, şiddet bir araya getiriyor.
bu kadar kısa değil de beş yüz sayfa olsaydı yine aynı keyifle okurdum diye bitiriyor insan kitabı. ayrıca filme de uyarlanmış bir kitapmış, en kısa sürede izleyeceğim de.
[English]
The novel tells the story of five women in 1953 Iran who escape the narrow confines of family and society but still cannot fully break free from the patriarchal mindset. It envisions a future they will share in a world without men. Because it portrays women’s liberation, it was banned in Iran shortly after its publication.
These five women, each with different backgrounds and life stories, are brought together by the state’s desire to exert control over women’s bodies and by the oppression and violence inflicted by men.
One finishes the book wishing it were five hundred pages long, knowing it would have been just as enjoyable to read. It has also been adapted into a film, which I plan to watch as soon as possible.
Thank you :)
Silent Patient ( story wise writing)
Now that I have finished reading “ the silent patient”, I am very amazed by the ability of the author who truly made me shocked at the end of the story that he happens to call psychological detective story… people prefer calling this book a novel but I bet it doesn’t last too long after reading the book or coming to an end that was shockingly twisted. Spoiler - The therapist would be the last person to be suspicious of as he made it sound very normal and approached to every scene and detail as a therapist whose main job is to help people. BUT never mind, nothing is the way it seems like in this life, Turkish people say if everything was the way it seemed like then water from sea would appear blue in our hands. This is what I felt when seeing the truth, the kind of truth I wouldn’t be able to imagine if Theo, the therapist didn’t reveal if at the end of the story. Or should I say the beginning of an end ? Do stories truly end or what we call “ ending” is a beginning of a new chapter…. He approached and had written it in a way that made him sound look or even appear like a “ real therapist” who carry feelings of morality, depth, integrity and truly has compassion and eager to help people who are in trouble… like Alicia….. A person, a human being, an artist who was mentally sick as the members of Grove called…. She was a psycho in their interpretations…. But who knows what drew her to kill him? Who truly has enough empathy to try to understand what she went through to do such a thing rather than being as anyone else and calling her a “ bitch” how easy it must be to call someone that… when you don’t know anything except what police officers or investigators say… As people or human beings who immediately call someone “guilty” without giving it a try to understand or
