Abstract
This study attempts to refute linear, unidirectional, and reductionist approaches to public law in the constitutional context. It claims that public law was not merely a linear reflection of the transition from despotism to law but rather a complex, multi-layered process of conceptual and institutional metamorphosis. The primary research question examines how key concepts of public law were reconfigured and transformed through a nonsynchronous process during the constitutional era, and how this transmutation led to the complexity of the public law condition. The central inquiry explores how the legal and semantic structures of the constitution were formed by combining traditional and modern symbolic forms and what impact this had on the development of public law. The research methodology integrates Ernst Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms and Edgar Morin's complexity theory, based on Bloch's concept of non-simultaneity, to provide a morphological and systemic analysis of the transformation of concepts and institutional structures. The findings indicate that public law in the constitutional period, characterized by historical nonsynchronism, polycentric legitimation, and the fluidity of mythical and rational concepts, evolved into a complex system reflective of the struggle between tradition and modernity. This study underscores the necessity for non-linear and interdisciplinary reinterpretations of public law as a complex system wherein meaning and structure are shaped through feedback and recombination processes.
