Abstract
Özet: Türkiye’de tarih ilmi ve tarihçiliğin gelişmesine Rusya Türkleri büyük katkı sağlamışlardır ki bu isimlerden biri de Akdes Nimet Kurat’tır. 1903 yılında Tataristan’da doğan Kurat, 1922’de Türkiye’ye gelerek, Fuad Köprülü’nün yanında tarihle ilgili ilk çalışmalarına başlamıştır. Araştırmalarda bulunmak üzere pek çok kez yurtdışına çıkmış, gittiği ülkelerdeki dili öğrendiği gibi oralarda Türk tarihi ile ilgili olan kaynakları da incelemiştir. Türk lehçelerinin yanı sıra 9 dil bilen Kurat, 23 kitap ve 79 bilimsel makale olmak üzere pek çok eser kaleme almıştır. Türk tarihine bir bütün olarak bakan Kurat, çalışmalarını da bu doğrultuda sürdürmüştür. Ayrıca doğup büyüdüğü ortamın etkisi de Kurat’ın tarihçiliğini şekillendirmiştir. Kurat, tarih araştırmalarında kaynaklar üzerinde önemle durmuş, çalışmaların kaynak ve orijinal vesikalardan yararlanılarak ilmi metotlar çerçevesinde yapılması gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Ezberci tarih öğretimine karşı çıkan Kurat, akademik tarih öğretiminin nasıl olması gerektiğinden de bahsetmiştir. Sadece çalışmaları ile değil aynı zamanda “hoca” kimliği ile de dikkati çeken Kurat, Türk tarihçiliğine bugün de hizmet eden pek çok akademisyenin yetişmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Akdes Nimet Kurat’ın hayatı, akademik faaliyetleri, Türk tarihi, tarihçilik ve tarih öğretimi ile ilgili görüşleri, tarih anlayışı hakkında bilgi verilerek bazı değerlendirme ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
