Özet:

To analyze a historical character within the boundaries of certain principles means examining the sociological and historical conditions of his time. Ahmet Hamdi Akseki witnessed a time when great events have taken place. Because he saw as a child the Ottoman Rule, as a young man Meşrutiyet (Constitutional Monarchy) and as an adult the Republic. Akseki was a thinker who was not a passive observer of these events neither intellectually nor actively. Thus, his works and actions need to be taken into consideration with the political and social air of that era. With this in perspective, first, the concepts of religion and politics will be dealt with. Then, Akseki’s thoughts put forward about the discussions on religio-politics and the background of these ideas will be analyzed. Finally, his authorship and book, both of which have contributed deeply to our intellectual world and can be presented as an interesting example of daily life and religion discussions, will be examined.
