Nonetheless, he never gained as much fame as his contemporaries Mehmet Âkif Ersoy (1873–1936) and Elmalılı Muhammed Hamdi Yazır (1878–1942) (for Mehmet Akif Ersoy see Bostan Ünsal 2005; Şeyhun 2015: 19–26; for Elmalılı see Flöhr 2015). After having received a traditional madrasa education in the village of his birth, Güzelsu, in the district of Akseki (province of Antalya), the young Ahmet Hamdi, just like many graduates of provincial madrasas in the late 19th/early 20th century, moved to Istanbul to continue his education at one of the institutions of higher religious education located in the capital. Like almost all leading Muslim intellectuals, who suffered immensely from the authoritarian policy of the Hamidian regime, he joined the oppositional Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) (İttihâd ve Terakkî Cemiyeti) in Istanbul (for the ulema’s support for the CUP see Hanioğlu 1995: 49ff.; Hanioğlu 2001: 305ff.; Kara 2005a). During the Second Constitutional Period (1908–1918), he became a member of the circle of reformist Islamic intellectuals associated with the Islamist journal Sırât-ı Müstakîm/ Sebîlürreşâd (for a detailed study on Sebîlürreşâd see Debus 1991). Akseki translated Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā’s Muḥāwarāt al-muṣliḥ wa-l-muqallid1 into Turkish (Akseki 1332/1914) and thereby initiated a debate among the Ottoman ulema about the problem of blind submission (taqlīd) to the authority of one of the Islamic legal schools (madhāhib) and the use of individual reasoning (ijtihād) by Islamic jurists (Karaman 2005; Uçar 2005: 89; for Rashīd Riḍā see Badawi 1978: 97–139).

He led the Turkish War of Independence from 1918–1922 and played an important role in the first decades of the newly founded republic, but he also had a lasting influence on the state system and society. This program that changed the state and society is referred to as “Kemalism”. But what does Kemalism include? Technically one can combine the six principles that are named in the party programmes of the Republican Peoples’ Party (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi – CHP) in the 1930s: nationalism, laicism, populism, republicanism, revolutionism and etatism. Retrospectively, the reforms that were implemented during the first decades of the state founding are also seen as core to Kemalism. In today’s Turkey, Kemalism plays a formal role, due to the fact that Kemalism is included in the constitution and also in the Party Law. The Party Law assumes that political parties in Turkey commit to the principles and “revolutions” of Atatürk (Turkish Party Law 2002: 13). Since the foundation of the Constitutional Court, 18 parties have been banned. So, one can imagine that because of this latent pressure threatening parties in Turkey, parties have had to ensure that their ideology conforms to the system and communicates a position to Kemalism considered acceptable by the state institutions. Through examining this issue, this essay shows the Kemalism frames that exist in the Turkish party system. 1","PeriodicalId":394323,"journal":{"name":"Kemalism as a Fixed Variable in the Republic of Turkey","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129619770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
