Özet:

In human history, it is not easy to study the place of thought movements. History has been more considered as the history of the states, and in this kind of historical work, more wars and post-war agreements have held a great place. This article aims to contribute to a micro-historic study of an organization's history. Here, as a member of a community that knows the importance of the institutions that lead the ideas and the ideas movements, it will be attempted to keep light on the history of the weight center of the liberal tradition in Turkey, which has contributed to the development of its own ideas and the development of this idea in a certain period. I don’t think I’m going to have a “objective” history in this short article. Just for more than a decade, I’m trying to reveal the history of the relations that a liberal named Yusuf Shahin established with the liberal tradition in Turkey. This relationship between my own story and liberal tradition would lead to the appearance of an emotional work with its nature. I think that was the case.
