The Spirit of New Turkey

“Perhaps the most important factor explaining the limited nature of political thought in Turkey, compared to other fields of thought, lies in the fact that this political field, which is state-centered and suffering from strict nationalism, and its powerful actors have managed to establish Turkey as a society of constant and total crisis. The state of total crisis ensures that the state itself goes beyond being simply an institution and becomes politics itself, and imposes on all practitioners of politics that every political activity should be understood in terms of its relationship with the state.”
Unfortunately, it is a fact that cannot be ignored that conveying and describing the current political situation in opposition circles prevails over understanding and understanding. “The king is naked!” Of course, there is a point in saying this, but the need for alternative understandings that do not allow us to fall headlong into the bottomless pit that is considered a "disaster", that do not lose touch with reality, and that do not become insensitive to destructive political developments imposes itself.
The Spirit of the New Turkey is a valuable and unique study that identifies exactly this need, meticulously examines how the strategies of "ressentiment, domination and neediness" work, and is a candidate for grasping what is "new" in the New Turkey.
It invites the reader to a sensible journey towards the possibilities of keeping hope alive...
