Özet:

In the mid-19th century and early 20th century, a series of ideas began to be discussed to save the Ottoman State from the difficult position and to relieve the pressure of the Western states. For the rescue of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1876 I. Legacy, and in 1908 II. Legitimation was declared. A very important part of the staff struggling to prevent the collapse of the Ottoman State during the legacy period, took important tasks in the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.   Some of the ideas that these personnel produced in the name of the country's liberation have been expensive for our history as a flow of ideas. The reflection of these thinking flows that their supporters sometimes hardly discussed and fought with each other has lasted until today. Many research and studies that study these thinking flows gathered under the title of Westernization, Ottomanism, Islamism, Turkish have been published. Some of these reviews have been interpreted according to the current conditions. But this thought flow must be assessed not according to the conditions of today, but within the conditions of revolution. In this study, the historical process was also considered to be the legacy period of thought and reflections to the present day.
