FRIENDSHIP AND ETHICS OF LIVING TOGETHER THROUGH THE ALLEGORY OF THE TULIP

Abstract

Flowers are always beautiful and they symbolize beauty. If we imagine the world as a garden, the most precious flower of this garden is the tulip, just as human beings are. Because the tulip has a story similar to that of the human. Just as man is unique among beings, tulips are unique among flowers. Just as human beings are of all kinds, varieties, colors and colors, tulips are also diverse in form, color, and species and species. Just as the universe has existed for human beings, and just as humans are sent to the universe in particular, the tulip is a flower specially sent to the earth with its beauty and colorfulness. Tulip is an art flower inspired by the highest artists. Its enchanting beauty adorned the couplets and verses; muralists, marbling artists, engravers, carvers, marble makers, tile makers and many other craftsmen decorated paper, water, metals, woods, stones, tiles and mud with tulip motifs. The tulip has become an indispensable symbol of Turkish art, and even the tombstones are decorated with tulip motifs. The aim of this article is to philosophically evaluate the value of friendship and the morality of living together through the symbol of tulip in our multicultural era and to emphasize the importance of values for human life with an allegorical approach.
