@article{2020,title={Why A Theoretical Perspective That Takes Anatolia to Its Center is Essential},abstractNode={When we think about politics with the future, we can examine it in two. The first is politics as a science, the other is politics as a theory. The first of this classification, politics as a science, is not directly related to the future. The type of politics that we mean here is a branch of social sciences that has moved away from value judgments to understand the “reality”objectively. The second type of politics focuses on what should be, not what is, and is often called political theory. Political theory, the second type of politics, is not intended to understand what exists, it focuses on what should be. In this context, it is related to the questions "What is a society that can be realized" and "How can a good society be? Liberal and Marxist ideologists often led the quest for changing society, transforming and what a good social order should be. The theoretical understanding of liberalism is based on self-interested human nature. To build theoretical construction on the self-interest nature of human means, to act from the existing. Based on the existing, it is not possible to reach what it should be. To act from what is existing here, in other words, to act from the self-interested human nature, means to legitimize the existing system. Marxist approaches, on the other hand, offer orientalist liberation prescriptions to the world with a Eurocentric history reading. Assuming that the rest of the world will pass through all the stages that Europe has gone through, preparing a prescription for salvation for the whole world is a big utopia. Based on these deficiencies in the theoretical propositions of politics, it was suggested that our country's theoretical understanding of politics should be centered in Anatolia.},author={Mehmet AKINCI},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies-Economics,Finance,Politics}}
