Abstract:

and III. From Selim to today, Westernization, Europeanization, Modernization, etc. It is believed that we are in a process of change of names. Although this change has been a long process to not be minimized, the momentum has not always been stable, and therefore the occurrence of landings, outputs, breakdowns has been inevitable. If the answer is how healthy this process is still ongoing today, it is unlikely that it is possible to evaluate the whole process. Cemil Meriç, though he is only one of the many names that assess this process, what makes it different; his personality, he has lived and in this process he has been able to see the whole picture with his assessments, not only day, but also light to today and tomorrow. If it is considered that the answer to how we can show a healthy, solid attitude in this continuing process makes it necessary to look ahead of the process and even more importantly to understand, the importance of this assessment from the eyes of Cemil Meriç is also evident in itself.
