Özet:

The intellectual structures that make up society require the leadership of an intellectual. The Turkish society, in different periods, has experienced periods of polarization or integration, surrounded by different intellectual thinkers, ideas. Thro the period of the Republic, ideological conflicts were built around right and left, Battery and Ottoman, Islamic and Secular views. These divisions show their traces even in today’s society structure. Thro the history of the Republic, rare intellectuals have taken steps to unite society and research the real substructure of the society structure. One of the most notable names among them is Cemil Meriç. Today’s society knows the name of Cemil Merich, but it has little knowledge about his world of ideas to be destroyed. The populism that exists in society redirect individuals to the ideas that arise by populist speeches in the conflict environment. While all sections defend the political and intellectual unity of society, divisions continue on what extent and which intelligence should lead this unity. The explanations and unifying power that Cemil Merich brings to the country’s social and political problems include differences in relation to the other intellectual names of the time. In the Elephant Tower, he used his ideas, far from all the distinctive izms, to unite society over time. Our work will be a way to reveal the idea of Cemil Merich and to clarify the social conflicts that continue from the past to the present and to understand the original character of the society in which we are.
