Abstract

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881- 1938) is not generallyknown as a "builder" of theories. it was his deliberate
choice not to leave behind an "inflexible doctrine". He
wanted his teachings to be dynamic views suiting the need
to become contemporary in every way. Ideologies, no doubt.
play a role in all regimes. Many states even seek to solve
their problems with the impact of a parti cu lar doctrine.
it is only natural that a mavement like the Kemalist Revolutian should have its own set of values.
This paper aims, first, to summarize Turkish and
foreign intellectual impact on Mustafa Kemal, to be followed by a short bibliographical display of his own writings,
with a conseqüent definition of the Six Principles (Altı Ok)
that he authored, with a further discussion of attempts,
principally by a group of thinkers and writers around the
monthly Kadro (The Cadre) to systematize Kemalist principles. it may not be wrong to say that the paper will mainly
dwell on the Kadro Movement, the rest serving as prelude.
