Is Blindness a Loss or the Path to Truth? Blindness has always been a metaphor for wisdom from the depths of history to the present day. So, is it a coincidence that Homer could tell the tragedy of humanity so powerfully without seeing? Or could the poems written with the eyes of the heart by Aşık Veysel remind us where true beauty lies? In this video, we explore both the physical and metaphorical meaning of blindness. From the blind prophet of Ancient Greece, Teiresias, to the wordsmith of the modern world, Jorge Luis Borges; from the folk songs sung with the eyes of Aşık Veysel to the epic epics of Homer, we question the meaning of seeing beyond the eyes. Could blindness be a privilege, not a deficiency? This paradox, which lies in the depths of humanity, makes us realize both our individual and social blindness. In this philosophical journey we embark on in search of truth and wisdom, can we dare to see our own blind spots? Let's explore together. #Blindness #Homeros #AşıkVeysel #Borges #Philosophy #Truth #Wisdom #BlindWise #Teiresias #TheQuestForMeaning #CultureAndArt #Literature #ModernPhilosophy #denizalan #BlindWisdom #Philosophy #Homer #EpicPoetry #Existentialism #Truth #VisionWithoutEyes #Mythology #AestheticWisdom
