Makale Özeti:

One of the most controversial issues in crafting a new constitution for Turkey
will likely be the definition and conceptualization of what kind of secular state
Turkey envisions for itself and what the relationship between religion and the
state ought to be. In this paper I want to suggest that there is an important,
perhaps critical, distinction between secularity and secularism – in particular that
one concept is a fundamental component of liberal pluralism and a bastion against
religious extremism, and that the other is a misguided, even dangerous, ideology
that may degenerate into its own dystopian fundamentalism. Secularity is an
approach to religion-state relations that avoids identification of the state with any
particular religion or ideology (including secularism itself) and that endeavors to
provide a neutral framework capable of accommodating a broad range of religions
and beliefs. Secularism, in contrast, is an ideological position that is committed to
promoting a secular order. In this paper I will illustrate the difference between
these conceptualizations of the secular state with examples of cases from several
different jurisdictions focusing on the institutional relationships between religion
and the state, and the individual’s relationship with the state.
