Halil Karaveli An Unfulfilled Promise of Enlightenment: Kemalism and its Liberal Critics ARTICLE, Turkish Studies, Volume 11, No. 1, March 2010, pp. 85-102.  Abstract: A defining feature of Turkish politics during the 2000s has been the alliance between liberals and Islamic conservatives. While legitimizing Islamic conservatism, the liberals have concomitantly de-legitimized Kemalism. Ultimately, the liberal disavowal is a call for a reexamination of the Turkish secularist experience, and in particular of how it relates to Western, emancipating traditions. The potential of freedom has remained unfulfilled because Turkish secularism has never really broken with the orthodox mentality of the past. Mirroring the failure of the secular-minded Ottoman reformers of the nineteenth century, who had initially held out an unfulfilled promise of universalism, enshrined in the concept of liberal citizenship, the Kemalists have gotten stuck in parochial nationalism. The promise of universalism was distorted by the allure of the parochial, as the rationalsuccumbed to the mystique of the primordial. The story of Turkish secularism is ultimately one about the promise of an enlightened modernity being overrun by the primordial forces of history and tradition.  Webpage Link
