Abstract

Our thesis with the title of ''The View of the Revolution Books at Religion Issue'' includes the study about examination of religion/Islam issue in terms of the revolution books which were authored at that aforesaid time-slice. The revolution books, some of them were authored by favour of state and some of those books were authored by well-known authors, displays many different kinds as stage play or thought books. In our study, we follow the revolution books of 1930's which were authored in the decisive period for Kemalist ideology as for introduce and adopt itself to public. This thesis in which we tried to put the religion/Islam issue of republican ideology on the table consists of two chapters as ''The Study on the Issues related to Religion in Revolution Books'' and ''The Background of the View of the Revolution Books to Issues related to Religion''. We have to clarify that the revolution books, which are the main resources of our thesis, were not the school books. In addition to that, it is helpful to say that we tried to support our thesis by utilizing the school books of 1930's. To examine the issue more objectively and in a better way, we prefered to introduce the revolution books and their authors in preamble of our thesis.
