In this study, assuming that the concept of “wisdom” is closely connected with the capability ofincorporating an operationel dimension into “knowledge”, I argue that Atatürk’s wise characteristieslies in his: 1) understanding of scientific systems, 2) treating the concepts of religion, languagaand culture, and) interpreting the changing social circumtances in connection with national unity.Traditionally the cocept of “wisdom” has been seen to be connected with love of knowledge. However,in this study this concept is construed in a larger perspective in connection with Atatürk’s personalcharacteristies in the sense that the most important aspect of the concept of wisdom is its relationto the capabilty of incorporating an operationel dimension into knowledge
