@article{2017,title={RADICAL KEMALISTS AND MUSTAFA KEMAL: AN ANALYSIS OF CONTRADICTION},abstractNode={The main aim of this research is to discuss how Mustafa Kemal himself, who said that “Seeing me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me.” in 1929, was converted into a “Godlike Atatürk”, and how his ideas, thoughts, and maybe the most importantly his dreams were turned into a kind of “religious dogma”, and in essence how Mustafa Kemal was begun to get exhausted by those, who identify themselves as “Radical Secularist” in Turkey, and entail Secular Revolution radically. From another stand-point, by studying a-dreamed and newly-created-Mustafa Kemal instead of the ‘real one’ in the context of “Radical Kemalism”, this article has a purpose to analyse how Mustafa Kemal was created as a supernatural, divine power in line with singularity and unique approaches by Radical Kemalists, to examine the causes of making him godlike, accepting him dogmatically and this divinely submission to him and the great damage of this understanding to Mustafa Kemal until today.},author={Gökhan AK-- Mete Kaan KAYNAR},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
