KUT VE TÖRE KAVRAMLARININ TÜRK DEVLET FELSEFESİNDEKİ YERİ ve BİR ÜLKÜ OLARAK KIZILELMA
THE PLACE OF KUT AND TÖRE CONCEPTS IN TURKISH STATE PHILOSOPHY and KIZILELMA AS AN IDEAL

Summary/Abstract: Turkish state philosophy is a philosophy that aims to create a state structure first and then to create the theoretical structure of this state. In this sense, it is clear that Turkish state philosophy is different from Western political philosophies. On the basis of this state philosophy, two concepts have a very important place. These concepts are the concepts of "custom" and "kut". These concepts come to the fore with their functions that regulate the structure and functioning of the state. However, it is known that Turkish state philosophy also uses some ideals and symbols. These ideals and symbols were seen and used as both an end and a tool for this state philosophy. Turkish State philosophy consists of two different historical processes in these contexts. While the first of these is the pre-Islamic Turkish state understanding, the second can be listed as the post-Islamic Turkish state understanding. The pre-Islamic Turkish understanding of state is shaped by the understanding of sovereignty, the concept of custom and the legal order identified with it. The post-Islamic understanding of the Turkish state, on the other hand, consists of the combination of the basic characteristics of the Islamic faith and Turkish customs. In this sense, it can be stated that the Turkish state understanding of this period is based on a political understanding based on the synthesis of Islamic civilization and Turkish civilization.
