ÇAĞDAŞ KAVRAMLAR VE DÜZENLER

Bireysel ve toplumsal sorunların tek tek insanların gücünü aştığı bir dünyada hayatımızı derinden etkileyen “çağdaş düzenleri ve kavramları” anlatmak, sanıldığının aksine güç bir iştir ve yoğun bir çaba ister. Yaklaşık beş yılda hazırlanan bu kitap böyle bir çabanın ürünüdür. Amaç, içinde yaşadığı kültürel ve sosyal çevreyi anlama ihtiyacını duyan genç kuşaklara ve çağını sorgulamak isteyen aydınlara modern dünyayı biçimlendiren sosyal ve ekonomik düzenlerle bunları besleyen kavramlara ilişkin doğru ve sağlıklı bilgiler vermek, eleştirme ve alternatifler arama yollarını göstermektir.

Kürtler Nereye

Türkiye, Suriye, Irak ve İran’a yayılmış ve nüfusu 25 milyonu bulan Kürtler, hemen hemen her ülkede sorunlar yaşamaktadır. Sadece Türkiye’de yaklaşık 50 bin insanın hayatını kaybetmiş olması, ne denli ağır bir sorunla karşı karşıya bulunduğumuzu göstermektedir. Bu sorunu insan hakları temelinde çözmek, daha insani bir dünyanın inşa edilmesi ve istikrarlı bir Ortadoğu için zorunludur.

Human Rights and the Separation of State and Religion

This text highlights key aspects of the religion/church-state relationship/debate, and related hitherto marginal topics. The contributions make clear that there is no clear blueprint for an optimal relationship between religion/church and state. Individual states and countries are analysed on the granular level for example, to address mono-religious against poly-religious as well as secular societies. Among others, chapters address education, migration and politics against religion as well as the effect of LGBTQ+ communities on religion and societies. This collected volume appeals to researchers, and students working in religious studies and political science.

Sociology of Religion in Turkey

I find in this volume an admirable mix of empirical material – on, for example, religious socialization and perceptions of gender – and reflective pieces, which interrogate the place of religion in Turkish society. Key in this respect is the fact that Turkey is not simply a Muslim society but a distinctive one, not least in terms of the functional differentiation of the modern republic and its consequent effect on religion – a situation that offers a unique challenge to sociological enquiry. The book concludes with a series of chapters that deal with the particularities of the modernization process in Turkey and the tensions (social, cultural and political) that have emerged as the modern state developed – a stage by stage process.

Turkish Islam and the Secular State

In the first book of its kind, M. Hakan Yavuz and John L. Esposito explore recent reformations of Islam and culture in Turkey and the successful Islamist modernist Fethullah Gülen movement. As one of the most significant religious movements to emerge in Turkey in the past fifty years, the Gülen movement combines a devotion to Islam with love for modern learning. especially modern science. This groundbreaking work focuses on and explains the nexus of complex historical and political developments that have contributed to the transformation of Islam in Tukey and to the movement's sphere of influence stretching into the Balkans and central Asia through the establishment of schools outside Turkey. The book cogently traces the origin of Gülen's ideology and his early efforts to propagate his views through educational activities. It details the various strategies employed by Gülen's followers to put his ideas into practice, both in Turkey and around the world. Contributors describe its intellectual and religious formation, its spread across Turkey and Central Asia, and its influence on citizens outside the movement, including leading Turkish politicians.

This book was first published in Turkish under the title Bilinmeyen Osmanlı, co-authored by Prof. Dr. Said Öztürk, and 250,000 copies were printed. I answered 290 questions whereas Öztürk answered 13 in total. He collaborated regarding source details and references as well as tirelessly proofreading and editing the book. In addition, this book was later translated into Arabic; the first edition was published by Osmanlı Araştirmalari Vakfi (OSAV), Istanbul, and the second will be published by Dār al-Shouroq in Cairo. The English version of this book has almost become a separate work from the aforementioned versions. Although the main part was translated into English by Ismail Ercan, t...

Secularism and State Policies toward Religion

Why do secular states pursue different policies toward religion? This book provides a generalizable argument about the impact of ideological struggles on the public policy making process, as well as a state-religion regimes index of 197 countries. More specifically, it analyzes why American state policies are largely tolerant of religion, whereas French and Turkish policies generally prohibit its public visibility, as seen in their bans on Muslim headscarves. In the United States, the dominant ideology is 'passive secularism', which requires the state to play a passive role, by allowing public visibility of religion. Dominant ideology in France and Turkey is 'assertive secularism', which demands that the state play an assertive role in excluding religion from the public sphere. Passive and assertive secularism became dominant in these cases through certain historical processes, particularly the presence or absence of an ancien régime based on the marriage between monarchy and hegemonic religion during state-building periods.
