Zia Gökalp
Zia Gökalp (1876-1924) was a prominent Turkish sociologist, writer, and nationalist ideologue, known for his role in shaping Turkish nationalism during the late Ottoman Empire and the early years of the Republic of Turkey. He advocated for the establishment of a Turkish national identity rooted in the Turkic language and culture, and his writings influenced key figures, including Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Gökalp's ideas emphasized the importance of a homogenous nation-state and were instrumental in framing the discourse around Turkish identity, particularly during the transition from the Ottoman Empire to a modern Turkish state.
