Abstract
Tanrı ve insan arasındaki ontolojik mesafenin/farkın, dilin, anlamın ve ahlakın kökeni olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Ontolojik farklılık, bir yandan anlamın ve dilin kökeniyken, öte yandan da, yaratıcı ve inşa edici bir dilin temel dayanağıdır. İnsanın tam olarak bu mesafeyi kapatabilme! serüvenine anlam arayışı ya da ‘olma’ süreci diyebiliriz. Ne var ki, insan ve Tanrı arasında ontolojik yakınlığı hatta özdeşliği öne süren bir düşünce, dilin ve anlamın kötürümleşmesine davetiye çıkaracaktır. Günah ve başkaldırı, insan ve Tanrı arasındaki ontolojik farklılığın bir ifadesidir. Yine iman ve ritüel, ontolojik mesafenin hem bir dışa vurumu hem de bu uzaklığı yaklaştırma çabasıdır. Yaratmanın sözle başlaması Tanrı ile insan arasındaki farkın ve Tanrı’nın gücünün bir temsilidir. Özellikle de İbrahimî geleneğin yoktan yaratma düşüncesi (ex nihilo), açıkça Tanrı ile diğer varlıklar arasındaki mesafenin bir başka yansımasıdır.
It is said that the distance/difference between God and human being is the origin of language, meaning and ethic. Ontological difference, the one hand, is the origin of meaning and language; the other hand is the central pillar of a creative and constructive language. We can say the adventure which human being can precisely gain on this distance his/her search for meaning or the process of ‘to be’. However, a thought which claims the ontological closeness, even identity between God and human being will gain rise to the paralysation of the language and the meaning. Sin and rebellion are an expression of the ontological difference between human being and God. Likewise, faith and ritual are both an expression of the ontological distance and the approximation struggle of this distance. The beginning of creation with speech is a representation of difference between God and human being and the power of God. Especially, the thought of the creation out of nothing (ex nihilo) of Abrahamic tradition obviously is another reflection of the distance between God and other beings.
