Phenomenology, put forward by Edmund Husserl, is based on the re-investigation and questioning of phenomena, that is, concepts, in a detailed way. This philosophical method claims that concrete events and objects become different in the consciousness of people while making sense of the physical world, and therefore the external world is relative. In order to reach the universal essence of phenomena in absolute and unchangeable reality, he advocates the need to put individual knowledge and experiences into brackets. The subject-object, i.e. the relationship between me and the other, considered in this context, constitutes one of the issues at the center of today's phenomenological studies, which are examined by social and human disciplines such as psychology, sociology, literature. With phenomenological approaches, the experience of the self with the other is taken to the center. According to this thinking methodology, the other person that I need in the process of building and making sense of myself is the individual and society with which he interacts. The existential process that requires the movement of the self takes place mutually through the gaze of the other.
In this study, Fuzuli's mesnevi named Leyla and Mecnun is considered as an adventure that starts with me, continues as us after a short time and the other completely disappears with the re-individualization of me. The relationship of Mecnun, one of the main heroes in the masnavi, which is intended to be studied phenomenologically in the context of me and the other, how the other is perceived, and how Mecnun reaches the essence through the presence of the other, is focused on. It has been tried to determine how the perceptions and sensations of the protagonist in the masnavi are shaped and changed in his relationship with the other, and to evaluate the effects of the relationship between the self and the other in dramatic action. Thus, it has been seen that in Mecnun's relationship with the other as the subject of the discourse of love, the connection of consciousness with the absolute other and how this connection develops can be traced.
