The nature and origin of knowledge, and the problem of truth are of perennial problems of philosophy. In Islamic philosophy the epistemologic inquiry primarily concerns perception and the threeway relationship between the percept , the perceived object, and perception. The Messai (Peripatetic) account of knowledge as the “illustration” of the reality of the perceived object in the soul, or the presence of its essence in the soul, lead the confusion of categories between substence and accident. Thus in response other theories of knowledge were posited such as knowledge as the quality by correlation, knowledge as imaging of forms, and knowledge as the inherence of the quiddities of the perceived object in the soul. In the Islamic world, it can be spoken of a series of thinkers who were interested in the subject directly as well as indirectly. Among them whose names may be mentioned are Fârâbî, Ibn Sînâ, Sühreverdi, F. Razi, Nasir, Recep Ali Tebrizi. Of these thinkers, philosophical or theological or both, we personally interested in especially in Nasir Tûsî, Ali Tûsî, Erdebili, Devvânî, Kemal Pasazâde, and Ismail Gelenbevi.

Conservatism has been a strong strain of politics and social life in Turkey. Especially since the JDP came to power in 2002, this concept, along with the behavioral patterns associated with it, has become an important topic in academic, political and popular debates and publications. Conservatism is likely to maintain its significance in the near future, because the JDP government continuously invokes it, directly or indirectly, both in its discourse and conduct and thus maintains a socio-political environment in which it is impossible to be engaged in any discussion without some reference to the concept. However, despite its popularity and currency in debates, how conservatism is actually understood or defined by the political and social segments of the society that are considered or selfidentified conservatives remains largely unknown. This study is an attempt to fill that void.
