Ahmet Ayhan Çitil, Burhanettin Tatar, Kasim Küçükalp, Özkan Gözel, Selami Varlık, Lütfi Sunar, Ömer Türker, Cafer Sadık Yaran This book has been prepared to deal with the ways in which otherness transforms into excluded otherness and to discuss this within moral thought. Because if a moral relationship is not established with the existence of the other, the alienation of the other emerges.
Today, problems arising from otherness occupy the agenda all over the globe. Xenophobia, ethnocentrism, racism, religious fanaticism, Islamophobia and nationalism are among the rising threats of our age. While nation states resort to identity-reinforcing policies with exaggerated security discourses to overcome their legitimacy crisis,
On the other hand, the socio-cultural crises faced are pushing the masses towards marginalizing language. Increasing global conflicts and the resulting migration waves bring up traumatic encounters with someone else. In this context, there is a need for a new perspective on morality and the other. If the existence of someone else, who has a moral idea in his essence, is taken as the basis of human life, a recognition can take place without othering, and this recognition can bring about a moral obligation.
Within the framework of this perspective, there are articles in the book that deal with the concepts and debates about the other/other in modern philosophy and Islamic thought.
is. Thus, it is aimed to create a new approach as well as a general and comparative perspective.

Ömer Türker One of the most important results of the transformation of human conceptions produced in the classical world in the modern period is that people change their expectations and hopes about themselves. This situation both affected the hierarchy of questions and required a new set of questions to be asked in the field of ethics, as in many other fields. In this context, especially in the last half century, the reason for human morality has become questionable and some movements have begun to evaluate morality as a purely conscientious condition.
As long as morality is understood as a phenomenon completely related to the conscience of the individual, the relationship between individuals or the outward aspect of morality should be considered as a problem of politics rather than morality. In this case, a sanction can be mentioned as long as the situations to be considered as immoral fall into the field of law. However, since this result is essentially an extension or inevitable result of a certain conception of man and society, it requires to be considered in terms of different conceptions of man and society. In the book in your hand, you will find the texts of the conferences held in the "Conversations on Moral Sanction" series held within the Islamic Moral Thought Project in 2015 in order to question the relationship between morality and sanction.

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.

Melek Yıldız Güneş The educational institution Darülfünun, which was established as the university leg of the innovation movement in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, is an indicator of many things in the name of innovations and transformations made in the educational sense with the effect of the periodic break. In this sense, the moral lessons taught in Darülfünun also took their share from the transformation and breaking character of the period. In the book, the teachers who teach the moral courses, the syllabus and the works taught in the course constitute the subject of the research in an inseparable integrity. The follow-up of these elements shows the importance given to moral education at the university level at that time, the educational background of the teachers and the intellectual effects they have, as well as the moral understanding they defended with the moral studies they brought into being.
This book; By revealing how the innovations and regulations made in Darülfünun affect the existence of moral courses, how often they can be included in the curriculum, who the teachers who teach the ethics courses are, what education and intellectual inclination they have, what the works of these teachers about morality are, what effects they have, In addition to being a research that seeks answers to questions such as whether the change and transformation observed in moral courses can be extended to Darülfünun in general, it also reveals the transformation of moral understanding that emerged in the process in Darülfünun.

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.

Süleyman Hayri Bolay Dictionary of Philosophy Doctrines and Terms, mainly to prevent conceptual anarchy; in order to fill a large gap in the philosophy dictionary in the market, to arouse interest in philosophical issues, to warn especially young people against the bad and destructive effects and suggestions of negative currents, to show them the roots of these currents, to facilitate and give clues to those who are in the field of philosophy in the research they want to do. has been written. This dictionary; In addition to being a helpful book especially for philosophy teachers, students, and those who are closely or distantly interested in philosophy, it introduces readers from all fields to certain philosophical doctrines.

Süleyman Hayri Bolay Süleyman Hayri Bolay is not a scientist who confines his scientific knowledge and thoughts within the walls of universities. He is a person who shares his writings with people from all layers and with the public since his youth. For this reason, even his works of philosophical intensity have attracted close attention and make an important contribution to the dissemination of philosophical thought.
Süleyman Hayri Bolay now publishes his articles, papers and other researches. These will be six books. The first is "Travels in the World of Philosophy". The second one will be "Travels in Turkish Thought".
“Travels in the World of Philosophy” includes his thoughts on many current issues such as human, family, society, nation, culture, death, democracy, postmodernism, human rights, globalization, national culture and national identity. We believe that the public will read these articles with pleasure.
Our publishing house is proud to publish this work of Süleyman Hayri Bolay, whose well-known and valuable works and writings have been accepted by the public for 45 years.

Levent Bayraktar Philosophy and Sufism consists of articles, papers and interviews that have been written on different occasions before. The common features of the texts are the study of Sufism, which is one of the basic institutions of our culture and civilization, and the values formed on its axis. In almost all chapters, it is seen that looking at philosophy and mystical concepts and themes will lead to a stimulating and enriching result for both fields.
In this book in your hand, mystics such as Mevlana and Yunus Emre are evaluated together with philosophers such as Camus and Bergson. In addition to such a comparative approach, there are original attempts such as evaluating the answers that Sufism can give to current problems as a source and horizon for today. The thesis that Sufis have not an old, timeless worldview and that Sufi contemplation is an ever-fresh answer to world problems is brought to the attention of the reader.

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.

Murat Arıcı, Pakize Arıkan Sandıkcıoğlu, Selma Aydın Bayram, Levent Bayraktar, Ahmet Eyim, Cem Kamözüt, Yurdagül Kılınç Adanalı, Deniz Kundakçı, Remzi Onur Kükürt, Ercan Salgar, Zikri Yavuz, Aziz F. Zambak This work is the product of a long-term, meticulous and detailed study. It aimed to be different from its counterparts in Turkish philosophy literature in many aspects. With a total of fourteen chapters written by twelve authors, it encompasses almost all of the main problems in different fields of philosophy. The work not only deals with the problems in their context within the history of philosophy, but also interprets them from a contemporary perspective. There are three features that make the work stand out and make it exceptional:
First, it focuses on the very philosophical problems it deals with it examines the problems with an argumentative and dialectical method: First, it presents the reasoning that reveals the problems, then the views and theories for the solution of the problems, then the reasons and arguments that support these views and theories, and then the counter-arguments against the views and theories under the heading of criticism. Thus, the work does not describe a sub-field of philosophy with the views of philosophers, but actively follows the traces of the problems that built that field and brings it to the present day.
Secondly, we can say that this work has not received any share from the sad fate of the content and method disorganization of the edition books. Although the fourteen chapters were written by twelve different authors, the content of all chapters; has the same logical organization, parallel flow of thought, similar subject handling, and equivalent use of concepts and terms. The work has both the collective richness produced by twelve different minds and a systematic integrity as if produced by a single mind.
Third, as far as we know, the visual richness of this work has no analogues in the related philosophical literature. This work in your hand presents nearly three hundred images with a philosophical content that is both informative and questioning by associating them with the subject.

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.

Fulya Bayraktar, Yeliz Yayıntaş This book, called Sufism Today, consists of articles written by writers from different intellectual and academic disciplines who seek solutions for today's problems of humanity, with the aim of reading and interpreting our age based on our own wisdom. In some of them, the proposals of Sufism are discussed on behalf of today and for the whole humanity, and in some of them, evaluations are made about Sufis. The fact that Islam has integrated different geographies, different cultures and different people around the principle of tawhid is re-interpreted today. This book is an invitation to reunite with ancient wisdom in line with today's needs for the solution of human problems around the world.

Üzeyir Ok, Zümrüt Gedik, Zehra Erşahin Spiritual care and counseling, which is one of the application areas of the psychology of religion, has a strong potential in human service in different conditions. Religions and spiritual traditions; It is known that they have important roles in coping with the difficulties of life, making sense of life, feeling belonging to a social group, creating an identity and choosing a healthy life for people who belong to them. On the other hand, helping and caring for people living in difficult conditions is a universal human instinct. Helping gratuitously on a voluntary basis is seen as a virtue in almost all life philosophies and religious-spiritual traditions.
In Turkey, studies in the field of spiritual care and counseling, which bring together humanitarian service and religion-spiritualism, have gained momentum in the last 10 years. However, there are very few studies that deal with the subject holistically and in depth and emphasize the scientific basis. This book on spiritual care for the sick in hospitals intends to take existing studies a step further, both in terms of providing an empirical basis and in terms of being dedicated to a particular field.
After explaining the effect of spirituality on human mental and physical health in detail in the book, the spiritual care needs of the patients were compared with the non-sick groups in the study, and the perception levels of the religious officials who still practice spiritual care, their competencies, personality dimensions and field experiences that are effective in their competencies are discussed in depth. In addition to these, in this book, a hospital spiritual care study model has been tried to be created in line with the empirical findings and literature knowledge.

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.

Şaban Haklı, Sümeyye Parıldar, Tuba Erkoç Baydar, Yunus Cengiz. 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.

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.

Hasan Kazak In the face of Europe's industrialization revolutions and its formation as developed economies, the Islamic world's inability to fully fulfill its growth and development steps has led to a misconception that Islam hinders development or progress for years. This perception has been expressed from time to time by some circles with good intentions or bad intentions. Is it really so? Does Islam have a religious understanding that only has an aspect towards the hereafter and is completely isolated from worldly life? How should the chapters in the Qur'an and hadiths that describe the dangers of wealth be understood? Does Islam have a relationship with capitalism and socialism? Can a Muslim be rich? Are there any rules for being rich and wealthy? What should be the balance between spending and hedonism? The fact that all these questions are often wrongly answered and misinterpreted by both the Islamic and non-Islamic worlds is an indication that the issue is not fully understood. Although this misunderstanding is considered reasonable by those who are far from the Islamic world, it is very sad that it is misunderstood and interpreted by the Islamic world.
In this study, the subject is evaluated from the perspective of Islam by considering the assumptions and approaches in Max Weber's work, which deals with the relationship between Protestant ethic and capitalism, and which is very popular. Can relationships similar to those established by Max Weber between capitalism and Protestant ethics be valid for the religion of Islam, or can similarities be drawn? In this study, the real Islamic economic system has been tried to be revealed by considering the subject in terms of these relations.

Social obligations and the sanctioning power of the state deeply affect the familiar things of religion such as gathering, worshiping collectively, synchronously repeating the sacred words, touching and feeling, in other words, the way religion is experienced. The physical nature of worship can be transferred to online environments, and unexpected and radical measures can be taken, such as closing mosques for worship as in Turkey, suspending Hajj by the Saudi government, or burning Muslims who died of Covid-19 in Sri Lanka, by government force. Similarly, New Age beliefs can continue to develop their market and gather new followers by associating bodily health with the transcendent by taking advantage of this gap, Muslims in India can be labeled as "super spreaders" of Covid-19, and in many places people are subject to social exclusion due to their religious identity. may be exposed.
Although the Covid-19 epidemic is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary phenomenon that needs to be dealt with within the framework of understanding, the effect of this process on religious beliefs and practices should be determined, and especially the process and its results should be discussed by the Turkish academy. It is thought that this book project, which consists of twelve chapters and was prepared with the participation of 14 authors who produce in fields such as sociology, sociology of religion and philosophy of religion, will contribute to the academicians and students working in the related field, as well as to the family of readers who are interested in this field.

Şerif Keskinoğlu, Neslihan Yaman, Nesrullah Okan, Özge Erduran Tekin, Tuğba Türk, Vildan Saruhan, Yahya Şahin, Yakup İme, Zehra Eminoğlu Spirituality is one of the important elements of the human experience. Spirituality, structures and behaviors related to spirituality have an undeniable potential in terms of well-being in sub-fields of psychology and especially psychological counseling. Spiritual experience, both positive and negative, cannot be separated from human functionality. In many applied and theoretical studies in the field of psychology, it has been wondered and examined how spirituality functions in human cognition, behavior and emotional processes since the early years of the field's formation. Especially in recent years, spirituality has started to be considered as a potential resource in terms of psychological well-being and functionality in applied psychology research and psychological help fields, and many approaches and methods have been developed that take spirituality into account in the psychological help process. The book is the first of its kind in Turkey with a comprehensive content of spiritual counseling services in institutions, from the spiritual aspects of counseling theories, to the spiritual evaluation of the clients, to the relations of various religious traditions with spiritual counseling. The book, which aims to shed light on the transcendent dimension of human beings for students and employees who receive education in all fields of mental health, especially PDR and Psychology, is enriched with case examples.

Levent Bayraktar In today's world where the expressions of the imagination of civilization are used frequently, it is necessary to realize that civilization is and can be based on a philosophical unity and harmony in order for the actual content and meaning of this term to be realized.
Civilization and Philosophy is a study that brings up the mutual relations of these two fields and what they owe to each other. It seems to be an invitation to examine and scrutinize these areas. The studies brought together in this book, which can be read as a landmark on the way to reach the philosophical consciousness of our civilization and to make a philosophical critique, had previously reached a limited audience as articles, papers and conferences. Now, this issue, which is one of the main agenda items of Turkish Thought, is presented to the attention of a wider readership.
We hope that this work will be an opportunity to realize that the idea of ​​a civilization without philosophy would be wrong.

Exclusion in processes related to political administration, social responsibilities and employment; discrimination in the provision of services such as education and health; Prejudice in media and daily conversations and in daily life both verbal and physical violence produces many negative results. The media plays a very active role in the production and shaping of the perception that reveals these results. The effects of Islamophobic elements, which spread from traditional media elements to new media, have not yet been adequately addressed academically and sufficient information has not been produced to affect the policies on this issue. This study, which includes some important book reviews in addition to sixteen articles, is expected to constitute an important source for the questioning of the relation between the media and Islamophobia, as well as the relation between media and religion in Turkey.

Hüseyin Arslan The book Milli Gorus Movement: Political and Social Transformations is an analysis of a movement that left its mark on the political history of Turkey and became the catalyst for social transformation. The Milli Gorus movement, which started with the entry of Necmettin Erbakan into politics in 1969, marks a turning point for Turkish political life and Islamist thought.
The history of Turkey cannot be analyzed clearly without considering the National Vision movement, which is the core of many social structures, institutions and political parties that still affect Turkish politics today.
With the "Idea and Movement Studies" series, it is aimed to present a framework and an original view on the main names, journals and issues that reflect the intellectual accumulation of Islamism and appear in almost every field. The books to be included in the series cover topics that are curious in different fields of Islamist thought. In this framework, it is aimed to contribute to the understanding of the issues on a basic and introductory level.

Şenol Korkut This book, subjects the basic dynamics of the Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina to a new reading through the memories of Alija Izetbegović (1925-2003), one of the most important Muslim intellectuals of the twentieth century. Izetbegović's pursuit of truth in his childhood and youth and his attitude towards the ideologies around him are taken in terms of the way a Muslim intellectual was brought up in the modern world. In the second part of the study, the importance of the Islamic Declaration for the current Islamic world, how to keep the Muslim identity alive under all conditions and the Islamic method to be developed for the policies of dimming the Muslim identity are examined. In the third part of the study, the importance of a Muslim party on the basis of the SDA and the principles to be derived from the struggle for existence during the Bosnia-Herzegovina war were examined. In the last part of the study, the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina after Dayton is discussed. The book seeks to construct a modern Siyāsatnāmeh based on the memories of Izetbegović.

Yıldırım Deniz The Middle East, which has been a center of attraction in every period of history due to its rich oil and natural gas deposits and being the center of monotheistic religions, is an unfortunate geography that has witnessed conflicts and wars in every period as a natural consequence of these characteristics. Factors such as power or prosperity revealed by classical approaches are insufficient to explain the events in international relations in the Middle East. Therefore, the internal dynamics of the region should be known very well. One of the most important internal dynamics in explaining the events in the region is the understanding of "Salaf" religion. This book explains the reasons for the events and conflicts in the Middle East by giving answers to questions such as what Salafism is, how it emerged, what historical processes it has reached today, what its types are, how it affects the people living in the region, events and international relations.

Tahir Kılavuz, Mehmet Evkuran, Mehmet Toprak, Oğuzhan İrgüren, Ramazan Yıldırım, Süleyman Güder Although it is noteworthy that one of the cornerstones necessary to understand and make sense of the Middle East after the 2011 Arab uprisings is the relationship between politics and religion in the region, the importance of the issue is increasing day by day. As academics in Turkey, we tried to deal with the developments in the region and the background of the events.
As part of the ILEM Islamic Political Thought Project, we held a series of seminars under the heading "Politics and Religion in the Middle East". Our aim was to try to understand the politics-religion relationship in the region through different religious and political schools. In 2017, we tried to deal with issues in a different spectrum, from the origins of the two main currents in the region, $ii and Sunni political thoughts, to today's political reflections. Of course, the issues we deal with are neither limited to the seminars nor as they appear in the book; has much broader extensions. Nevertheless, we tried to produce a comprehensive and representative work.

Death, which we do not have a definite knowledge about what it is, continues to be a problem in philosophy from ancient times to this day. In fact, thinking about life rather than death because of the mysteries it carries is the wisest way of coping with death. Because the fear of death rather than death is abrasive and distracts people from their originality. Making sense of one's life with this perspective, organizing it accordingly, revealing its own meaning and value will be its only victory against death.

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.

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.

Emel Koç XIX. century; XX. It is a period in which the foundations of many philosophical movements of the 20th century were laid, and the history of philosophy was as "productive" as it was "intensive" in the intellectual sense.

Nietzsche who reflected the spirit of the period and reflected the spirit of a period with such intellectual richness and complexity, and on the other hand, there are not enough academicians in our country yet. neglected philosophers such as FH Bradley and J. Royce, for whom the study is not available, are included.

Esin Kâhya In general, the nineteenth century is a period of political, economic, social and cultural restructuring all over the world. It is possible to determine this change not only in political life, but also in social structuring, various branches of art, philosophy and science.
In this period, the steps taken in different branches of science, such as mathematics (calculation of probability, etc.), astronomy (finding new planets and studies on the universe system, etc.), physics (electricity and mechanics, etc.), chemistry (atomic theory, organic and inorganic chemistry). studies), developments in biology (the theory of evolution and heredity, cell research, etc.) and developments in medicine (microbiology, pathology, developments in physiology, etc.) have determined the scientific problematic of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Today, we continue to build our scientific structure on the foundations laid at that time.
