    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2022-07-22) Durmaz, İbrahim; İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi; Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü; 0000-0003-0403-8017
    This article examines the use of “Islamic civilization” by Muslim thinkers, undoubtedly, one of the most controversial concept for contemporary Islamic Thought in Türkiye. The main argument of the article is that the Islamic civilization discourse has evolved from an eclectic/defensive perception of civilization to an otherizing/exclusionist position, and from an otherizing political style to ontological awareness, over three generations of Muslim intellectuals in Türkiye. This process of change can be observed in the writings of firstgeneration Muslim intellectuals such as Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Şehbenderzade Filibeli Ahmet Hilmi; secondgeneration such as Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, Nurettin Topçu, and especially Sezai Karakoç, and third-generation intellectuals such as İsmet Özel and Ali Bulaç. Thesis aims to make a small contribution to the roadmap of the concept of "Islamic civilization" in Türkiye, based on the writings of the abovementioned thinkers.
