Sabri F. Ülgener stands in a very exceptional and prestigious place within Turkish historiography and sociology with his work on the economic history of Turkey. As the main issue of his work, Ülgener introduced a new area of study to Turkish intellectual and scientific life: the relation between economic life and mentality. He, it is fair to say, singlehandedly expanded the horizons of our thought in this area. Nevertheless, we should consider Ülgener as a person who presents this new field of problem to Turkish thought rather than a person who says the last word on this matter or solves the problem. This article tries to demonstrate what Ülgener is able to explain explicitly and where he is inadequate as well as the basic political motive that drives his work. Lastly, it will be tried to define the position of Ülgener’s work in sociological theory.
