description History, as an academic field, seeks to explain past and present social circumstances by using facts to consider the causal relationship between events. In addition to having unique methodological features, history is shaped in part by the historian’s own point of view. This situation, which extends to the social sciences in general, raises the issue of objectivity, but seems inevitable given the dominant position of the historian in collecting and evaluating data.. Kemal H. Karpat, one of the most prominent historians of Turkey, has tried to analyze Turkish modernization in a comprehensive way by considering it with a rich background and an interdisciplinary perspective. This study is essentially aresponse to Nuray Sancar’s critical approaches to the historian in question, which are exemplary of the reductionist perspectives typically applied to Karpat’s historiography.
