Summary/Abstract: Parallel to the 70s’ inclination towards new historiographies of sociology, controversy-based readings spread. This relational approach avoids both anachronism and antiquarianism by focusing on historical debates that are also relevant for today. It enables to see contributions of forgotten actors, and helps to understand the sociological topography based on continuities between issues and parties. The history of Turkish sociology is rich of debates. From 1890’s to the Second Constitutional Era, there has been many ‘presociological debates’ regarding politics, economics, law, culture and education, followed by ‘sociological debates’ such as culturecivilization controversy in 1930’s. Debates on Turkish social structure became widespread in 1960’s, and created divergence/ convergence among social scientists. Analyzing the debate between Cahit Tanyol and Behice Boran published in Yön magazine in 1962, this research tries to exemplify a controversybased study on the history of Turkish sociology, with a special focus on distinctions between parties and their historical continuity.
