Notes
The third chapter of Carl Schmitt's (1888-1985) book, Political Theology, which was first published in 1922 and translated into Turkish in 2002, by Carl Schmitt (1888-1985), who introduced the concept of political-theology for the first time and is one of the most important names in this field, begins with the sentence "All concepts of modern state theory are secularized theological concepts." For example; God's omnipotence has turned into the lawgiver's omnipotence with the modern state. As can be understood from here, political-theology is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the theological roots behind modern-secular concepts and institutions. In his work published in 2018, Gülbeyaz Karakuş discusses the regime of the Republic of Türkiye, whose relationship with religion has been the subject of research in many ways, in terms of political-theological transformation. By examining the concepts in detail, it tries to examine the elements that led to the transformation and the conditions that caused the transformations, especially since the last period of the Ottoman Empire. Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), who was the first to use the concept of civil religion in the last chapter of his book Social Contract, thinks that it is important for the state for every citizen to have a religion that will make him love his duty. Karakuş examines whether a civil religion was established by the founding staff of the Republic in Turkey, just as Bellah did for the United States, and states that, together with the political-theological transformations he identified in this context, a civil religion was created whose theoretical infrastructure was created in the founding years of the Republic, and which was later excluded from the past and shaped by new concepts, new rituals, new places and the leader cult on the basis of nationalism.
