hesaplamay

Hesaplamay is a Turkish term that denotes the act or principle of not calculating; it is formed from the verb hesaplamak (to calculate) with the negating suffix -may.

The term is not widely standardized in mainstream Turkish; it appears mainly in academic discussions, philosophy, or literary contexts to describe a stance that values intuition, ethical considerations, or qualitative judgment over quantitative analysis.

In philosophy and decision theory, hesaplamay can refer to a stance that prioritizes moral factors or practical wisdom rather than numerical optimization; in literature or film, it may describe a character who acts without calculating all consequences.

Critics argue that such an approach risks irrational or reckless decisions, while supporters argue that excessive calculation can dull human judgment and overlook context, relationships, or values.

As a niche term, hesaplamay is not widely used outside specific Turkish discourse, but it helps illustrate debates about when calculation should guide action and when other criteria should prevail.
