摘　　要：A simple reading of the Ottoman history during the 19th century displays a diverse ray of intellectual thought and discussion. The so-called clash between Islam and European political structures was a serious debate within the Empire: one that was usually polarized along the lines of progressives and conservatives. Namik Kemal through his writings aimed to overcome the dichotomous view between Islam and European political and social concepts through a reversion to what he called “true” Islamic understanding and principles. Namrk Kemal throughout his writings touches upon and interprets many different European concepts and their relationship with Islam. This paper examines Namrk Kemal’s observation of three European ideals:“sovereignty of the people”,“nation”, and “parliamentarianism”. The study argues that Namrk Kemal understands and interprets these concepts in a manner that creates a harmonious relationship with Islam. The paper utilizes different writings of Namik Kemal to comprehend how he understands the above-mentioned concepts. The study is mainly based on Namrk Kemal’s primary works and specifically on Kemal’s writings on sovereignty, nation, and parliamentarianism in the Ibret Gazette.
