Abstract:

The problems concerning Turkish society are interconnected. For this reason to deal with one of these problems results in dealing with many other connected issues. The actual problems which societies have to face are deeply rooted in history. Consequently these problems have a historical context and solutions found to them give way to historical development. Therefore Sezer and Berkes, who emphisizes the relationship between sociology and history, deals mainly with historical context of sociological phenomena and they especially emphisizes that knowlodge of our recent history has to move beyond the limits of academic world. Baykan Sezer and Niyazi Berkes, who are Turkish sociologist, made significant theoretical contribitions to Turkish sociology. Theyare also interested in Turkish society's main problems and their works offer solutions to those problems.
