The purpose of this article is to reveal the life experiences of Nicolai Berdyaev in a paradoxical language that will shed light on how the extraordinary mind world was formed. The main purpose of the study is to reveal how Berdyaev looks from the outside, not how Berdyaev thinks. Thus, we aim to contribute to the better recognition and reading of Berdyaev, who is an important thinker but is not well known in our country. For this purpose, instead of Berdyaev's works and their contents, the mental world of the thinker and the factors that shape it will be emphasized. Berdyaev's world of belief, his exile experience, the problematic structure of philosophy education with formal education, his literary adventure and mental states caused by his in-betweenness are presented to the reader in the form of subtitles. The presentation style in question will focus on where the thinker positions himself rather than where Berdyaev is defined in the institutional and school context. The main reference in these narratives will be the thinker himself. Because of this point of view, it will be our greatest wish for the truth to come to light that what is said about it is less important than what is said about it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On In this article, Oya Baydar's novel Hiçbiryer 'e Dönüş was examined in the context of exile, and the effects of these situations, especially in the psychological world of the individual. The novel, which occasionally bears autobiographical elements, tells the story of a woman with socialist views and her husband's escape to Europe after the 12 September 1980 military coup and things that happened after their return to Turkey. In the book, the main character and her husband describe themselves as in "exile in location" when they were in Europe. With the destruction of the Berlin Wall they realise the ideology they adhere to has also collapsed and return to Turkey in a defeated state. When they return to Istanbul, which has been a dream of theirs for years, they are disappointed to see that everything has changed and transformed. Thus, the main character and her husband become alien to both space and time in the face of the destruction of their utopias in Europe and the disappearance of their past in their own country. This alienation, on the other hand, transforms the "exile in location" into an "exile in time" that heads towards "nowhere". In the introduction part of our study, we focused on the concept of exile. In the examination section the novel Hiçbiryer 'e Dönüş was analysed under the subheadings of "exile in location and exile in time". A general evaluation was made in the conclusion.
