Abstract

Erişirgil was born in an environment which the opposing views serve the same purpose, has well analyzed disease of period and seen that the remedy is pragmatism. He has defended to need look at all the moral and material ideas while he was creating own system and fought with ideas which just believe in the accuracy of a field. İn this study, we have examined the currents which was been active in Erişirgil's intellectual formation. These currents were turned their perspectives in one direction although they were detected the disease. This also means that the solution separated into multiple sections. The thinker has perceived the problem and seen the remedy as combining all the parts. Following this path, not only has happened in the form of combining, it was intended to take aspects that follow the spirit of the period and responding to problems . In this context, the current that was suitable for the purpose was pragmatism for Erişirgil. Before the Republic he was used to pragmatism in order to survival of the state. Then he was tried to apply the pragmatism to fields of education and morality. Despite the problems related to the regime is still maintaining a presence at the present time, it was an important phenomenon that spread the work of such a current at that time. In this context Erişirgil has an important role especially in the field of education and morality in the formation of the new state. Another important feature of the thinker was been taken an important role as a chief executive in the word revolution. Despite the fulfillment of this task, we can not say that he internalized the word revolution exactly . In this sense it can say that Erişirgil who does not compromise his rights, state the remarks in all sincerity as thinker, politician, manager when it comes to the time and place.
