Seeking Meaning in the East with Western Concepts: The Case of Public Policy
Öz
Concepts are contextual. The relationship between the concept and the meaning is always formed within the context of time/space and society. The contextual relationship a society develops with the concept shows the meaning the said society attributes to it. Concepts are the object of theories while theories are the subject of concepts. In the traditional period, each society used concepts and theories suitable for their contexts. However, this has changed due to modernism, with which all societies in the world have started using Western-centric concepts and theories. Engaging in scientific activities with concepts and theories imported from the West distorts the web of significance in the East or, in other words, transforms this web of significance with a Westward orientation. Moving from this point, this study examines concepts and theory of public policy imported from the West and underlines the necessity of novel concepts and theory unique to Eastern societies in the general sense and to the society of Turkey in the specific sense.
