Abstract
This study is a theoretical examination of the progress of Turkish sociology from its emergence to the 1950s and 60s. Many studies have been carried out for presenting the development of Turkish sociology and the stages that it has passed in terms of putting forward social knowledge for Turkish society. Although there is a rich literature about it, internationally and particularly, there is not much study in English. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present the development of Turkish sociology from its emergence in Turkey and its relationship with European sociology during its development to the 1960s in order to introduce Turkish sociology to other societies’ sociologies.
Turkish sociology has a large literature, it is, therefore, quite difficult to exhibit in this study from its emergence to today. Consequently, during the study, it has been attempt to analyze the characteristics of Turkish sociology and its development periodically until the 1960s.
