Süleyman Hayri Bolay This work, which has reached its seventh edition, broke new ground in some respects in Turkey. Because, until this work, no in-depth comparison of the philosophical views of the great and basic names of Eastern/Islamic and Western thought has been made in our country. Consequently, this study not only sets an example by comparing the metaphysical concepts of Aristotle and Ghazali and the main ideas they contain, but also clearly shows what a great thinker like Ghazali took from Aristotle, what he did not take, and where he opposed his views. demonstrated way. While doing this, he revealed that al-Ghazali's claim that he stopped thinking in the Islamic world is unfounded, and also revealed how he systematically solved the problems he dealt with one by one.
Comparing the two great summits of the world of philosophy and thought in Turkey is interesting to anyone who is interested in the subject. The fact that such a heavily-themed book has reached its sixth edition is a testament to the interest shown to it. We hope that this work, which became a classic before it reached a quarter of a century, will gain the same attention from now on. By reprinting such a work, Nobel Academic Publishing makes a great contribution to our history of thought.

Aslı Yazıcı, Hacı Bayram Başer, M. Nedim Tan, Mehmet Erdoğan, Mehmet Günenç, Muhammed Muhdi Gündüz, Nail Okuyucu, Ömer Türker, Sedat Yazıcı, Yunus Cengiz Intention is one of the most fundamental concepts of morality, as one of the key stages in the formation of behavior. In both religious and philosophical thought, intention is considered as the element that adds value to the action and makes it meaningful. In this respect, intention and various states of intention are of decisive importance in terms of both the meaning of being religious and being moral. However, the theoretical dimensions of intention have not been examined in sufficient depth. In this context, the book in your hand aims to identify the views and theories that emerged in the traditions of Islamic thought about the role of intention in the formation of the act; It aims to reveal what and to what extent the contribution of the intention is in the evaluation of the legal, religious and especially the moral value of the act and to clarify the role of the intention in the name and definition given to the perpetrator of an act.
This book, which consists of the works presented at the Workshop on Intention in Religious and Philosophical Thought, held in Istanbul on September 30-October 1, 2016 within the scope of the Islamic Moral Thought Project, covers religious sciences such as fiqh, kalam and mysticism, as well as the subject of intention in Islamic philosophy and Western philosophy. It consists of a total of nine articles examining how it is handled.

Ahmet Cevizci Introduction to Philosophy is written for those seeking an introduction to philosophy as a discipline and intellectual activity. The work aims to make this introduction by introducing philosophy itself, its basic concepts, trends and subjects, and ways of thinking and reasoning specific to philosophy. In the work, which consists of eight chapters, after a first chapter that aims to establish an acquaintance with philosophy, issues related to epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of being, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of religion and philosophy of art are included.
Introduction to Philosophy appeals to all those who want to meet philosophy and want to include philosophy, which we can define as "thinking on big questions in an argumentative and questioning way", into their lives in some way. Written for future teacher candidates. The most important feature of the work is that it deals with the subjects of philosophy with a constructivist approach, that is, the book, Introduction to Philosophy, has been created by using diagrams and visual materials in a way that will enable the student to think about philosophical questions and problems and make the necessary inquiries, instead of conveying ready-made information about the subjects and problems of philosophy.

İlim Esra Erek The history of philosophy is, in a sense, the history of the philosopher's search for wisdom, who thinks about philosophy. Contrary to the famous judgment about him, Ghazali is the thinker who saved this search from dogmatism. He is a philosopher who constantly renews the traditional understanding and method, and opens new paths where existing approaches are blocked.
This book has been written with the intention and effort to re-analyze al-Ghazali and his discussions. In the study, the nature of the human being who is the subject of history, and the problems that people experience in the face of the truth they turn to know are examined. It is also discussed what kind of contributions Ghazali's solutions to the problem of 'knowing', which is a dynamic problem, can contribute to today's thought.

The reason why C0VID-19 pushes us to rethink reality, human, god and society as much as other epidemics, but more powerfully than them, is that the understanding that established the modern world has turned reality into a superstition on its way to show reality free from superstitions. It is precisely in this situation that we need to re-remember the reality that we have exchanged for a virtual image and learn from the consequences of this bad trade. This book, which invites us to direct our thinking holistically to reality, to the principles that establish it, and to man's relationship with these principles, says that just such an orientation is a good start for the lessons to be learned.

Yusuf İzzettin Aktaş Although the nomenclature of Islamic Philosophy has an ancient history in terms of meaning, it is a fairly new composition as a name. In the first quarter of the 20th century, Islamic philosophy courses, which found a place in the curriculum as a result of the reforms in the field of education, which was an important pillar of the Ottoman modernization attempts, appear as an important area where this composition was transferred to the field of existence. In a time when Western values ​​and thoughts make their presence felt, and sometimes domination, in the Islamic world, with which arguments Muslim Turkish intellectuals and scientists re-presented and defended their world of thought, how they meet and understand the criticisms and accusations against their realm of existence, and how they are trying to attract and/or dispose of; How they define the history of Islamic philosophy/thought within the current conditions and conditions remains among the intriguing questions.
This study in your hand II. It examines the formation process of philosophy and Islamic philosophy courses in Darülfünun and madrasah, which started to be included in the curriculum with the reform movements that took place in the field of education after the Constitutional Monarchy, and the teachers of these courses, the texts taught in Islamic philosophy courses, and sheds some light on our modernization history.

Lütfi Sunar, Büşra Bulut There are two basic dynamics of shaping contemporary thought in Muslim societies. The first of these is related to internal developments and the other to external conditions. Including? as intellectuals and ulama; They encountered issues such as the meaning and maintenance of tradition, the structure and change of Muslim identity, interpretation of new social problems and producing solutions, and making sense of political developments. In this framework, the main agenda has been formed within the framework of the problematic of Islamic renewal, and the second dynamic is external factors. In this respect, the confrontation with modern technology, industry and bureaucracy in the 19th century caused Muslim societies to go into a serious crisis. While this crisis caused Muslim societies to not be able to maintain their own intellectual lives, the need to respond and overcome it also gave a new form to thought. This communication with the outside has created various intermediate forms by interacting with Islamic concepts and thoughts.
Discussing the basic elements and limits of Islamic thought and examining its counterpart in the contemporary world has become a necessary ground. These discussions are possible by understanding the explanation of the basic concepts of Islamism, its use and transformation throughout history. Since the second half of the 19th century, the concepts of revival, reform, and reform have come to the fore as an offer against the problems that Muslim peoples are dealing with. These are concepts that have a deep-rooted history in the tradition of Islamic thought and politics, although they have been transformed in modern discourse and used in some places before the other.
The workshops, which were held within the scope of the Islamist Journals Project, with the banner of Basic Issues and Concepts, aim to add new dimensions to the rooted discussions of Islamist thought. As a product of this effort, this book is an enhanced version of the presentations made by Mehmet Ali Büyükkara, Özgür Kavak and Murat Kayacan at the "Improvement" workshop held on November 23, 2019. This book is an in-depth analysis of the issues and approaches on which Islamist thought is built. serial offer.

Ziya Erdinç From the moment we were convinced that man was born without a given meaning and was defined by the functions or roles he was assigned from the moment he opened his eyes, it became increasingly difficult to expect anything from man. Moreover, such expectations were always confronted with demands for freedom. This book is "What can we expect from a free man?" It grew out of a strong belief that the question can still be asked in a meaningful way. The different conceptions of man in the Islamic tradition of thought, despite all their differences, are optimistic about our expectations of man. However, how this expectation can be grounded. He found different answers within the philosophical, theological, mystical and jurisprudential perspectives in the tradition of Islamic thought.

The study, which includes fourteen articles, investigates the answers given by different disciplines in the tradition of Islamic thought and the different schools within these disciplines to the question of what a human is and what is really expected of him. For these perspectives, which all consider human life as a long story that progresses in a constant test, human is always something that is "being". The main factors that direct our ability to "be", where this ability should lead, and the areas of accrual constitute important topics in the evaluations of what a human being is. The articles in this study proceed through these questions, while investigating the nature of human beings in the traditions of philosophy, theology, mysticism and fiqh, on the other hand, they deepen the current possibilities of these perspectives.

Adem Levent, Ahmet Karakaya, Esra Kartal Soysal, Hakan Ertin, Kasım Kücükalp, Latif Karagöz, Lütfi Sunar, Metin Özdemir, Mevlüt Göl, Olkan Senemoğlu, Şaban Ali Düzgün The conceptions of the nature of man, the ethics of human actions throughout history. determined his political and metaphysical orientations. Therefore, it can be said that many emerging structures, from moral choices to social organizations, from state orders to education systems, are a direct or indirect manifestation of the answer to the question of what human is. For this reason, the question of what man is is central to any conception of the world. modernity. By radically transforming the classical conceptions of the nature of man, he revealed one of the most important breaks in human history. It is therefore a way of achieving a correct understanding of the modern period. It is through identifying and analyzing the transformations of human imagination in this period.
In this book, the debates about the nature of human being in modern Western thought are discussed and the effects of different definitions of human in these fields on the formation and transformation of various scientific disciplines are evaluated. In addition, the book also includes various debates in contemporary Islamic thought, providing an answer to the question of how the transformations that emerged with modernity affect human conceptions in the Islamic world. In this way, readers will have the opportunity to follow the simultaneous and simultaneous effects of the radically changing universe and human imagination.

Cahid Şenel, Eşref Altaş, Hacı Bayram Başer, Harun Kuşlu, Hümeyra Özturan, İdris Cevahir, İzzet Gülaçar, Müstakim Arıcı, Osman Demir Ethics is a field that has been widely discussed in Islamic thought, from practical philosophy to various religious sciences. In this respect, while morality is accepted as one of the philosophical sciences, it is also discussed with different aspects in religious sciences such as hadith, kalam, fiqh and mysticism. In order to examine and present morality, which is at the intersection of multiple disciplines, with all its dimensions, these sciences should be considered in terms of their own internal dynamics. Such an effort seems essential for understanding the morality in Islamic thought with all its dimensions.
In line with this need, roundtable meetings titled "Basic Characteristics of Islamic Moral Literature" were held between March 2013 and March 201A within the scope of the "Islamic Moral Thought Project" carried out by the Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) and the Science Culture and Education Association (ILKE), and the literature on morality has its own discussed in terms of their specifics. This book in your hand consists of the articles of the presentations made at these meetings.

Anar Gafarov, Aygün Akyol, Eşref Altaş, Fethi Kerim Kazanç, Hümeyra Özturan, Mehmet Evkuran, Mehmet Zahit Tiryaki, Yunus Cengiz What is the principle or source that enables us to evaluate moral judgments, in other words, moral propositions as good or bad? It is possible to find different answers in the history of thought that this source is pleasure, nature, emotion, reason, intuition, society, and divine will. But where do I get that Justice is good and cruelty is bad? The answer we give to the question brings us face to face with different questions again. For example, if our answer is the mind, what is the characteristic of this mind or which mind is it? Do human nature, emotions, intuition play a role in the society's judgment of good and bad actions regarding actions? What is the role of divine revelation in determining the moral field? In this book, it is aimed to deal with such questions that can be multiplied in relation to moral judgments, mainly under the question of the source of moral propositions.

Harun Kuşlu, İbrahim Aksu, İbrahim Halil Üçer, Kübra Bilgin Tiryaki, Metin Aydın, M. Zahit Tiryaki, Sümeyye Parıldar, Yunus Cengiz The debate about whether the biological and hereditary characteristics inherited in the formation and differentiation of personality, which can be expressed as human nature in the most general sense, or whether the diversity of experiences are of fundamental importance, points to a problem that can be traced back to the early periods of philosophy and continues to exist with the same vitality today. The theories of temperament, as a way of explaining human nature, are related to physics and medicine, while their results are directly related to human actions and being in this world.
The book in your hand is an expanded output of the roundtable meetings held in 2015 on the theories of temperament in Islamic thought within the scope of the Islamic Moral Thought Project. Articles in the book; It focuses on the temperament theory, which has a very central place in the understanding of human personality and character, after Hippocrates (375 BC) and Galen (d. 200), and more specifically, the appearance of the problem in some Islamic philosophers and theologians. The book aims to be a start for readers who want to deal with the subject and to contribute to new reading, understanding and interpretation processes that will be made in comparison with the new aspects of the problem.

Hatice Toksöz This study, which is an attempt to analyze the etymology of the concept of love (al-mehabbe), aims to reveal the expansions of the concept of love in Islamic thought regarding its metaphysical, physical, moral and political dimensions.
In the study, by pointing out the difference in nature of the love of Allah and the love of the creatures, the problems that Islamic thinkers discussed around the concept of love were included, thus providing the opportunity to compare the writings of Islamic philosophers, theologians and mystics about love.
This work, which reveals the analysis of the concept of love in the light of the texts written on Islamic thought, aims to inform its readers that love is an indispensable trait for the individual to gain moral competence and to establish social cohesion perfectly.

Yunus Cengiz, Selime Çınar The concept of conscience, which is one of the key concepts for moral thought, is often used in the sense of "moral consciousness" today. When we look at the thought of Islam, it is difficult to say that the word conscience is used in this sense or that it is commonly used with such a content. As a matter of fact, in many texts, this concept is mentioned in a way that corresponds to intuition in an epistemological sense, not moral.
The aim of this study is to process the concept of conscience through Islamic traditions and to determine the equivalent of the concept in these traditions. This situation necessitates us to deal with the texts that aim to analyze the mental states and their practical consequences that provide the moral awareness of the actor against an action, regardless of whether the conscience is literal or not. If we do this, we will not only find the opportunity to reinterpret the classical texts on moral psychology, but also contribute to the reproduction of Islamic moral philosophy.
In the articles included in this book, which consists of the works presented at the Conscience in Islamic Thought Workshop hosted by İLEM-ILKE on June 3-4, 2016 within the scope of the Islamic Moral Thought Project, the way of problematizing the inner state that encourages people to act correctly, their reflections in different fields and psychological -theological foundations are discussed in terms of relevant traditions.

Cevdet KILIÇ The book in your hand may sound a bit ambitious, but it is an attempt at a philosophical interpretation of Islam. What this means for us is that today's people want to test knowledge with its philosophical dimensions. Moreover, let this type of knowledge be the field of metaphysical knowledge. One of the most important approaches of contemporary epistemology is the principle of verification. In the nature of this principle, whether a proposition is true or not is directly proportional to whether the content of that proposition is supported by facts. What is wanted to be done here is to apply the principle of verification on the data of religion with a philosophical methodology. The starting point of such an attempt is to reveal the importance of the philosophical dimension of the data of revelation, as well as the principles of belief and worship of religion. In order for today's people to believe in religious or philosophical knowledge and to accept its truth, they must be convinced with their mental, logical and philosophical proofs. In other words, the "why" is more important than the "how". In this study, we tried to deal with the data of revelation in this way. What is wanted to be done here is to ground the revelation data of the religion of Islam with its mental and philosophical dimensions, to reveal the "why" and "why", in short, to focus on "wisdom", and leave the "how" to the experts. This work of ours is not a repetition of what is known or a longing for some past achievements. It is not an effort to renew our faith by trying to reconcile scientific developments or discoveries with the verses of the Qur'an. What is desired to be done here is to consider a truth with different dimensions. While we are trying to rediscover our science, wisdom, philosophy and civilization, it is necessary to see the stones we will lay on this path as an effort to create a solid ground.

A. Taha İmamoğlu, Ahmet Okumuş, Haluk Alkan, Hızır Murat Köse, İlker Kömbe, Lütfi Sunar, Ömer Türker, Özgür Kavak, Süleyman Güder, Şenol Korkut There are many attempts to define the nature of man. The most common and almost agreed upon among these attempts is that man is a political creature. Man is a being who lives in a community, makes sense and establishes himself in a community. However, the transformation of this obligatory union of people into a good and fair system poses an important problem. Various political systems have been developed throughout history to establish and maintain such a social order. One of the most important and urgent problems facing humanity today is the formation of a good, beneficial and just order for everyone.
This work has been prepared in order to draw a theoretical framework for Islamic political thought by using the possibilities and tools of contemporary political science and political philosophy.
This book, which includes 11 articles written by competent academics in the field, aims to provide new expansions of classical origin to Islamic political thought, which has been shaped by Western influence in the modern period. For this reason, it aims to systematically address ancient issues in a conceptual continuity and thus to bring Islamic political thought to the present.

In this regard, we will not first lease our minds to the West or borrow their minds and lie on it. Because not only they are thinking, we are thinking too, we are also making “production ideas”.
Today, Turkey is located in the "periphery", not the center that determines and determines the intellectual agenda in the world, and often acts in a peripheral situation depending on the agendas determined by the center.
Therefore, our second goal is to help pave the way for getting out of the periphery and being at the centre. At the same time, it is to help the revival of our civilization, which we belong to in history, as an alternative, and to contribute to our thought life in its rebuilding.
This book also aims to reveal that contemporary Turkish thought is strong enough to be showcased in the world thought arena. If the development of our intellectual life towards its “natural medium” continues, it is certain that Turkish thought will make a significant contribution to world thought by producing newer and more original ideas. Now, we should leave behind the period of self-evaluation according to the thoughts of Western thinkers, and aim at the level where they can evaluate their own thoughts by looking at our products of thought, as in the past. We must be aware of it, so that we can move on to the periods of producing more of our new and universal ideas.

Ahmed Tahir Nur, Alaaddin Günay, Ali Aslan, Asiye Aykıt, İsmail Taşpınar, M. Taha Boyalık, Mehmet Gel, Müstakim Arıcı, Özkan Öztürk, Şükran Fazlıoğlu Taşköprülüzâde, one of the most prolific names of the Islamic tradition of thought in the 16th century, on the one hand gives a true representation of his era, which is called the Late Renewal Period and which stands out with its methodological integration efforts, on the other hand, stands out as a complete heir to the scientific knowledge produced in previous periods. In this respect, he reconsidered the main problems that developed within the traditions of theology, philosophy and mysticism, which he inherited, in accordance with the gradual understanding of knowledge and reality of his age, and brought a holistic view to different fields of theoretical and practical thought with the works he wrote.
This book, on the one hand, reveals Taşköprülüzâde's contributions to the field of practical philosophy through the basic concepts of political and moral thought, on the other hand, it shows the ways in which the thinker deals with the tradition of Islamic linguistics and its main problems by focusing on the linguistics tradition. In addition, in the book, the reader will have the opportunity to observe the practical politics of Taşköprülüzâde, who is also a judge, by seeing how Taşköprülüzâde has contributed to the polemic literature that can be considered current in terms of the thinker's refusal against the Jews.

Abdurrahman Atçıl, Mehmet Arıkan, Mustakim Arıcı Taşköprülüzâde Ahmed Efendi left his mark on Ottoman thought as a versatile scholar. In this book, besides examining the life story of Taşköprülüzâde in detail, we tried to position him in his family, starting with his grandfathers, to describe him in the context of his teachers, peers and students, to classify and introduce his works. We included the life stories of three generations of the Taşköprülüzâdeler family and tried to write a collective life story. We have published an unknown work of Taşköprülüzâde that contains autobiographical records. In addition, the relations of the members of four generations of the family with the bureaucracy of the period were discussed in a separate article. The story of Taşköprülüzâde, which is told here and discussed in a broad framework about how an Ottoman scholar grew up and how he produced, claims to present a model for the writing of the "ulema biography" and the studies of the ulema. Our study, in a more general sense, is a candidate to be a cornerstone in the studies of Ottoman ilmiye with its "ulema family monograph" feature.
