This dissertation is Concerned with the Discourses and Practices through which a Panoply of Civil Muslim Actors and Institutions Articulates a coherent mode of liberal piety in relation to both the imperatives of Turkish secularism and other definitions of Islam that maintain currency in contemporary Turkey. In the most schematic sense, Researcher is Interested in how Liberal Publicness, Secular Laicism, and the Practices of Piety Act upon one other in Mutually Creative, as well as Constraining, Ways. Through a Fine-Grained, ‘Thick’ Description and Analysis of Civil Society Institutions Associated with Turkey’s Nur Community (Nur Cemaatõ), Gülen Community (Gülen Cemaatõ) and Alevi Community (Alevi Cemaatõ, Aleviler), He Examines how Questions of History and Tradition, Space and Place, and Religious and Political Pluralism Articulate Liberalism and Piety as both Means to and Ends of Each other. A Second Central Concern of This Argument is to Delineate the Different Implications and Effects that Liberal Secularism and Laicist, Jacobin Secularism have upon Practices and Definitions of Piety Themselves, Public Piety in Turkey is Defined Against the Horizons of both Liberal and Illiberal/laicist Secularism.
