POLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF TURKISH-ISLAMIC THOUGHT: RIGHT POLITICS, TRADITION AND CURRENT ORIENTATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Turkish-Islamic thought is the founding element of the Turkish-Islamic thought is the founding element of the tradition based on the identity of religion and state and has maintained this character despite various political, economic and social crises. Changes in traditional sovereignty and property regime during the modernization period did not keep Turkish-Islamic thought from this function of providing legitimacy. In the modernization era, it continued to provide intellectual resources and legitimacy to reforms for the preservation and restructuring of governance and order. In this article, the historical continuity of the Turkish-Islamic thought, which we can be defined as an integration of a certain understanding of religion and some political assumptions, and its means that developed for ensuring this continuity and social integrity are being examined. The capacity of these intellectual and practical tools to influence and transform political discourses and actions can be analyzed in the context of right politics. Because these constituent elements of the Turkish-Islamic thought are represented by right-wing discourses and political programs as a means of intellectual resource and legitimacy. This perspective will both serve as a basis for an accurate understanding of current political processes and an intellectual effort that exceeds the current boundaries.
