Abstract

Value is the common sense of the majority of a society, a nation that indicates the good and the beauty, the right and wrong, basic moral principles or beliefs or awareness of being a society. The values that a community has are the most important distinctive elements that turn a community into a nation and distinguish it from other nationalities. To avoid losing the sense of being a nation, communities want to maintain their presence through transferring the values that they have, from one generation to other and they seek the ways to do so. If these values cannot be transferred to the next generations or they are transferred faultily, then a corruption occurs in the community against their culture by being influenced from other cultures. In the societies where the cultural values of the society are worn down, their unity, operation and maintenance of order and even the survival of the community itself become difficult and impossible.The way to transfer the values from generation to generation and to the individuals passes through the training. Therefore, values education has been one of the subjects that have had emphasize on and has gained importance in recent years. In particular, technological advances and modern living conditions caused the crisis of values and social distress in our country and these negative developments have increased the importance of values education in the education. One way of avoiding these problems in question is the development of the values education subjects in the literature and the transfer of the values to the future generations. In this context, Sünbülzâde Vehbi, an important figure and poet in Turkish literature and his work Lutfiyye-i Vehbi has been studied and discussed. In the work which Sünbülzâde Vehbi wrote under the impression of Hayriyye-i Nabi, cultural values have been identified which he tried to convey to his son Lutfullah and to all young people before his son. This work, written in the 18th century, clearly shows the crisis of values experienced during that time as it is today and that some value has lost their importance. Sünbülzâde Vehbi, seeing this and concerning about it, has written Lutfiyye-i Vehbi and have mentioned about the importance of values and the values education.
