The US/Israel–Iran War and Türkiye

Archaeology of Freedom: Individual–Politics–Justice–Morality

The essence of an open, libertarian, law-based state and society is free and strong individuals. The path to liberation lies in replacing the concept of a sacred-king god with the understanding of Allah as ‘a friend and source of mercy’ as introduced in the Qur’an al-Karim; replacing the sacred state...

Thinking China Through “Ideography” – I

Accordingly, the fundamental criticism directed at Derrida is that logocentric metaphysics is not peculiar to the West, and that Chinese writing, too, is phonocentric. As evidence for this claim, Eastern thought is said to be “filled with logocentric terminology” establishing “a conceptual connection between sound, breath, soul, life, and Being...

State And PKK: Reading the Process Beyond Domestic Politics

This process cannot — and should not — be understood merely as a matter of domestic politics. The emerging picture forms part of a geopolitical transformation that has long surpassed conventional government-opposition calculations. The question facing Türkiye is no longer whether it can manage a security threat, but whether it...

Critique of Western Theses Regarding to the Civilization and History

The Westerners, who harnessed historiography in this way to serve the ideological aims of imperialism, developed a crippled mode of thinking that conceals the whole truth and fragments it into disconnected pieces. For example, religion, philosophy, and art are both the cause and the result of scientific discoveries and inventions....

From the Round Table to the “Great Reset”: The Global Power Equation

This tripartite structure operates through a “Revolving Door” system: Through this cycle, the decisions made by states serve not the public, but the interests of this closed system. BlackRock is the “treasury” of this system; the Jewish lobby is its “political shield”; and the aristocratic families are its “source of...

Reading China as “Voiceless” and “Scriptless” – 3

As we shall see in the next essay, the difficulties of Derrida’s attempt, in Grammatology, to draw upon a figure of China—most likely from the Western canon (or from the Western “process” of thought about China)—while discussing Chinese ideographic writing and, of course, Egyptian hieroglyphs, that is, to rely on...

Capitalism, ‘Religious Capital’ and Moral Disintegration

A Muslim is the master of money, not its servant. Religious capital in Türkiye has produced a new type of bourgeoisie with an Islamic tone but a lumpen character. Türkiye’s sociology does not yet possess the tools to regulate religious capital. Therefore, the development of this new class in a...

The Hidden Dimensions of Disarmament and Dissolution Processes

For all these reasons, these processes involve dynamics that are far more complex than they appear. These processes are not merely matters of security or politics. Success largely depends on the reconstruction of language and overcoming the organizational mode of thinking. If transformation cannot be achieved in these two areas,...

Thinking of China as a “Fake”—2

As can be understood, we have arrived at a point similar to that of the “non-alphabetic.” “Counterfeit” also suggests that there may be a Chinese-style logic of sequencing in China; while it involves the copying of a product that has an original in Western eyes, it can take shape as...
