Symposiums related to Kalam in Turkey: A General Assessment
The aim of this article is to provide a general overview of symposiums related to kalām held in the Republican period. It evaluates these academic meetings systematically under five separate headings. On the one hand, the coordination meetings, where different participants share their accumulated experience to improve the education of kalām and to adapt to the most current discourse, have been analysed. On the other hand, the development of symposiums has been observed as they treat the fundamental issues of kalām and the contributing scholars under either separate or sub headings. Moreover, the fact that the issues of kalām have been addressed in symposiums related to different fields of theology is a significant indicator of the importance of interdisciplinary studies.
