Özet:

Abstract enTurkish eras of the Xth and XIth century, which comprise a significant period of Turkish Islamic history, apart from being a remarkable growth period in the political sense, also entail significant developments that have been engraved in memories from the aspect of cultural history. The great Turkish scholar Mahmud from Kashgar’s words that “God has raised the country’s sun upon the house of the Turks” display that the Turks are without doubt that only dominant power. The essential phenomenon which gave life to this Turkish Islamic period is the migrant Turkish culture meeting and merging with Islamic civilization and therefore, Turkish Islamic culture being created. In consequence of Turkish Islamic structure enriching cultural values, literary works have started being written in Turkish-Islamic states in different languages, because Kutadgu Bilig, who evolved from the great Turkish scholar Yusuf Has Hacib’s pen in the XIth century, only comprise one of these works. In this piece, which presents characteristics that are appropriate to the Turkish soul, it is possible to observe the values upon which the idea of Turkish state is founded upon. The author has identified the traditional moral and legal considerations of the Turkish community and has provided information on issues like social ethics and state governance. This piece even maintains its existence as a cultural treasure today. By feeding from Kutadgu Bilig’s conceptual framework, Nizamülmülk’s vizier characteristics can be envisioned and some things from the reflections of that cultural world can be collected. In this manner, by weighing it on a scale of historical experience, it could be seen that Kutadgu Bilig and therefore Turkish culture is a living entity and ideas concerning the future can be developed
