Özet:

Niyazi Berkes (1908-1988) is an important ideologist and sociologist known for his views on Turkish modernization and modernization. It appears that Berkes is moving to resolve the problem of modernization from an illuminating-positive, modernizing, western-centric paradigm. So we can easily say that all the criticism of the paradigm in question can also be directed to Berkes. His writings on subjects such as the Qur’an, Sunnah, Islamic Law, Tasavvuf, the place place also contains interesting, valuable findings; the contradictions and limitations that are created by being a stranger to the field of the gods, recognizing the side interpretations of the mysticists and possessing an enlightening-positive religious design. The findings of Berkes that the Islamic Law created a stable society because it is based on religious dogmas, against social change, as far from meeting contemporary needs, we do not think reflect the truth. The scientists have accepted the arms and orders that are not contrary to the spirit of the religion and the open assets, and they have determined that the judgments will change with the change of time as one of the religious orders of the Islamic Fight. They have observed the public interest in the provisions they have given, and in the matters of which there is no precise determination about it, they have found in the purposes of the basic purposes of religion, taking into account the social reality.
