Political Ideas of the Young Turks

Şerif Mardin, who is one of the leading names in our intellectual life due to his significant contributions to the history of thought, religion and political sociology in Turkey, left aside the established opposition discourses in his official interpretation of phenomena such as religion, modernization and westernization, which have been on the agenda in our society for more than a century. examines them together with their background. Mardin's not being caught up in the "accepted" tendency and method shaped by the positivist Western thought combined with the dominant view in Turkey, his failure to put the dynamics of social change into generally accepted patterns, and his stay away from the effects of the official ideology and Kemalist discourse, distinguish him from a significant part of the "Republican intellectuals". and it requires placing all of his works in a privileged place in our world of sociology. (...) In this work, which is considered a classic in the history of our political thought, Şerif Mardin examines the emergence and shaping of the ideas of the Young Turks, which we can also see in today's political movements. Among the intellectuals and politicians whose thoughts he discusses are names such as Beşir Fuat, Mizancı Murat, Ahmet Rıza, Abdullah Cevdet and Prince Sahabattin.
