There are revolution theories that formulate why and how the revolution occurred, which has a deep-rooted tradition of thought. Each attempt to theorize the revolution has some fundamental problems. No revolution theory covers all variables, but it is possible to reach some objective revolutionary criteria that try to understand and explain revolutionary change and transformation. In this work, we will examine the revolution theories and arrive at objective revolutionary criteria that will guide our understanding of revolutionary change and transformation. In this direction, we will begin our work by examining the theories of revolution and revealing the basic premises at the center of each revolution theory. Next, we will consider the main problems of the revolution theories we have examined. Finally, we will reveal the dimensions of revolutionary change and transformation that we can see in many revolutions, based on the revolution theories we have examined.

Devrimci Değişimin ve Dönüşümün Boyutlarını Belirleme: Devrim Hareketleri Üzerine Çalışmalar İçin Bir Referans Çerçevesi

Öz

Köklü bir düşünce geleneğine sahip olan devrimin niçin meydana geldiğini, nasıl ortaya çıktığını formülleştirmeye çalışan pek çok devrim teorileri vardır. Devrimi her bir teorileştirme çabası ise bazı temel problemlere sahiptir. Bütün değişkenleri içine alan bir devrim teorisi söz konusu değildir, ancak bu devrim teorilerinden hareketle devrimci değişimi ve dönüşümü anlamaya ve açıklamaya çalışan nesnel birtakım devrimci ölçütlere ulaşılabilir. Bu çalışmada biz de devrim teorilerinin bir incelemesini gerçekleştirip, devrimci değişimi ve dönüşümü anlamamızda kılavuz rolü oynayacak nesnel devrimci ölçütlere ulaşmaya çalışacağız. Bu doğrultuda, ilk olarak devrim teorilerini incelemekle başlayacağız. Devrim teorilerini inceleyip her bir devrim teorisinin merkezinde yer alan temel öncülleri açığa çıkarmaya çalışacağız. Ardından, incelediğimiz devrim teorilerinin temel problemlerini ele alacağız. Son olarak, incelediğimiz devrim teorilerinden hareketle, pek çok devrimde görebileceğimiz devrimci değişimin ve dönüşümün boyutlarını açığa çıkarmaya çalışacağız.
