Publisher's Synopsis

Kemal Ataturk's Republic of Turkey was set up in 1923 as a secular state. This study sets out the struggle between religion and secularism but shows how Ataturk laboured for an idealised 'Turkish Islam' stripped of superstition and obscurantism and linked to modern science and positivist philosophy.
