- Abstract
The doctrine of 'know thyself' has been one of the basic moral teachings of almost all religious mystical structures in the history of thought. Because knowing the purpose of human existence is important in many ways. First, he will realize whether he is selfsufficient to exist. Secondly, a human who knows himself will understand that he is a finite, limited and temporary being, and will base his relationship with the world, society, other individuals and God on this thought. Third, a human who knows himself will try to learn things that will make him healthy, continue his life or make it easier, and increase his own level of well-being. Fourth, the human who knows himself will realize what he actually knows and what he does not know. For this reason, it has always been emphasized in the history of thought that the highest knowledge is selfknowledge. In this sense, it should not be forgotten that Socrates said "if there is one thing I know, it is that I know nothing". In this study, we will evaluate this teaching in three stages as knowing, find out and perfection.
