Sabri F. Ülgener, known as a legist, economic historian and sociologist

in Turkish scientific community, said not to be the place

he deserves as a thinker and intellectual in the realm of Turkish

scientific life as a whole. Ülgener is an important social scientist,

who has a sui generis personality, social events as observed from

different angles and analysis procedure and who limited perspective

of the dominant social science understanding of his era, he

has been tried to present important innovations in the field of

human sciences methodology. While analyzing economic and social

events, he has considered social habits and value judgments

of society instead of compiling factual information and raw data.

This distinctive feature of him, it has led to reflect on him “moral

codes”, “world of mentality” and the relationship between mind

and economics. Although he doing pioneering works on these issues

in the Turkish social sciences, it can be said that his intellectual

and academic initiatives remain lacking in a sense of not

adequately assessed and be told by the new generations. This article

aims to remind its original character Sabri Ülgener specified.
