Celal Tahir, one of our living thinkers, takes the functioning of our mental structure, which he determined from the book Turkish Contemplation History by Hilmi Ziya Ülken, to a further stage. The issue mentioned by Hilmi Ziya Ülken is very important. “This harmonious duality based on monism is the collective philosophy of the Turks. Just as Iran’s national (collective) philosophy was a combative duality. As we have seen above, although its roots are rooted in the old Turkish cosmogony from the Chinese and Sumerian ways, Iran’s particular social conditions and life have transformed the harmonious dualism that emerged from monism there into an indisputable combative dualism. (History of Turkish Contemplation / Hilmi Ziya Ülken, YKY 3rd Edition: Istanbul, March 2007 p.30)

Celal Tahir, on the other hand, wrote an article based on this determination, and as a result of his analysis with the concepts of meta-synthesis, ancient dialectics and harmony, he reached the conclusion that “Turks have the potential to be among the main actors of the globalization era”.

The fluidity of contact with water explains the Turks being a nomadic tribe, the Turkish states being an umbrella state, the adaptability of the Turks, creating a synthesis and transforming both themselves and other tribes. West represents settled societies and space, Turks represent nomadism and time. (Celal Tahir)

Rene Guenon examines the deeper causes of all this under the title of “Abel and Cain” in his work “The Sovereignty of Quantity and the Signs of the Age”. “In nomadic societies, time-related arts such as music, performed with the human voice and/or instrument, were predominantly developed. On the other hand, in sedentary societies, arts such as painting and architecture developed predominantly in connection with the space.“ Source: Celal Tahir.
