Tekinalp toplumsal, ekonomik ve siyasal açıdan köklü dönüşümlerin yaşandığı imparatorluktan ulus devlete geçiş sürecinde yaşamış Yahudi bir entelektüeldir. Belirli bir dönem Yahudilerin Osmanlılaştırılması ve içinde yaşadıkları topluma uyumu ekseninde Osmanlıcılık düşüncesinin ateşli bir savunucusu olan Tekinalp, çeşitli platformlarda Siyonizm ve sosyalizm gibi modern ideolojiler hakkındaki düşüncelerini dile getirmiş ve dönemin siyasi arenasında kendisini açık bir biçimde sosyalizm karşıtı olarak konumlandırmıştır. Diğer yandan aynı dönemde Avrupa’da yaşayan Yahudi entelektüellerin önemli bir bölümü sosyalizmin saflarında bir araya gelmiş, hatta en önemli sosyalist teorisyenler yine Yahudi entelektüeller arasından çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada Tekinalp’in sosyalizm karşısındaki negatif tutumu ana hatlarıyla tanıtılmış ve buradan hareketle yirminci yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde Avrupalı Yahudi entelektüellerle bir Osmanlı Yahudi’si olan Tekinalp’in sosyalizm karşısındaki farklı tutumlarının sebepleri tartışılmıştır. Bu eksende ortaya koyulacak bir tartışmanın Yahudilik ve sosyalizm ilişkisinin anlaşılabilmesine mütevazı bir katkı yapması hedeflenmektedir.
It is a Jewish intellectual who has lived in the process of transition from the empire to the nation, in which social, economic and political transformations have occurred. Tekinalp, a fierce advocate of the Ottomanism idea in the axis of the Ottomanization of the Jews and the society in which they live in a certain period, expressed his thoughts on modern ideologies such as Zionism and Socialism on various platforms and clearly placed himself in the political arena of the period as an anti-socialism. On the other hand, a significant portion of the Jewish intellectuals living in Europe in the same period have gathered together in the lines of socialism, and even important socialist theorists have again come out among the Jewish intellectuals. In this study, Tekinalp’s negative attitude toward socialism was introduced with its main lines, and from here on the first quarter of the twentieth century the reasons for Tekinalp’s different attitudes toward socialism were discussed with European Jewish intellectuals and an Ottoman Jew. The objective of a discussion in this axis is to make a modest contribution to the understanding of the relationship between Judaism and Socialism.
Tekinalp is an intellectual of Jewish origin, who lived in the period of transition from empire to nation state with radical social, economic and political changes. Tekinalp was, for a certain period of time, a fervid advocate of the Ottomanism ideal, which envisaged the Ottomanization of Jews and their adaptation to the society they lived in. Tekinalp also expressed his opinions on such modern ideologies as Zionism and socialism on various platforms. In the political arena of the period, Tekinalp took an explicit position as an antagonist of socialism. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of the Jewish intellectuals living in Europe at that time gathered around socialism and it was to such extent that the most prominent socialist theoreticians stood out among Jewish intellectuals. In this paper, Tekinalp’s negative stance against socialism was outlined and the underlying reasons for the dissenting opinions between European Jewish intellectuals and Tekinalp, an Ottoman Jew, during the early 20th century were discussed. In this context, such discussion hopefully aims to introduce an unassuming contribution to the understanding of the relation between Judaism and socialism.
