(Islamic Periodicals between 1960-1980)
With each passing day, we realize better and better that the period of introversion shaped on the periphery of the nation-state adventure has also created a serious limit in the world of thought. This can be clearly observed when we follow the agendas, concepts and priorities in addressing issues. It is possible to say that the most tangible signs of overcoming this limitation can be seen in the years between 1960 and 1980, when multi-party life became relatively continuous. To some extent, this period, in which different layers of the public were directly involved in the process, continues to have a vivid impact today, both in terms of its specific weight in Turkey's recent history and in terms of new searches, channels, institutionalizations, diversifications and discourse differentiations in the history of Islamist thought and publishing. In addition, the fact that a significant number of the people who played an active role in the activities of the period are still alive allows a reading from today to be scrutinized with a tested eye. The importance of those years will be better understood when it is taken into account that a very important part of the cadres who carry today's Turkey in politics, bureaucracy, civil institutions and intellectual fields are the generations that grew up in the 1960-1980 period. In conclusion, it is quite clear that in order to better understand the present day, it is necessary to closely examine the 1960-80s, which are almost the womb of the present day. Therefore, the fact that it both contributes to the understanding of the process we are witnessing and provides the opportunity to build a bridge between these living historical witnesses and new generations reveals both the intention and the value of this study.
