Abstract :Ivan Goncharov: A Look At The World Of Oblomov Türkan OLCAY       In the novel of I. A. Goncharov, "Oblomov", which has added a degrading term such as "Oblomovism" to many western languages, the primary point of interest is the tragic dilemma in llya Oblomov's conciousness who is living the struggle between old and new in Russia's social life and is questioning the rational, "brave" new world surrounding the old one. Despite the common argument, Goncharov has not created Oblomov just as a representative of the old system which is collapsing after the abolition of serfdom, "krepostniqestvo"; he has also seen in Oblomov a critic and observant of the coming new system. From this point, Oblomov is not a passive or lazy man, but a tragical character which is over-observing and over-evaluating the life to the point he is unable to act. He is in a way the incarnated metaphysics against the modern, rational, new world.
