Antikitenin öğrettikleri: Yeni Çağ Avrupa düşüncesinde yeni Stoacılık
(İlmi Etüdler Derneği, 2011) Özdemir, M. B.; Durgun, Fatih
Aşağıda da tartışılacağı gibi, özellikle Rönesans ve Reformasyon dönemlerinden itibaren stoacı felsefenin dönemin olumsuzluklarına antik mirasın diğer birçok öğesinden daha iyi çözüm önerdiğine inanılmıştır. Çoğunlukla bu felsefeyle özdeşleştirilen isimlere atıfta bulunularak oluşturulan söylemler, hem düşünsel tartışmalara hem de daha somut siyasi ve düşünsel programlara yön vermiştir. Bu yazıda da esasen, yeni stoacılık olarak tanımlanan düşünsel faaliyetin Yeni Çağ Avrupa tarihinde, sosyal, ekonomik, dinsel ve politik yıkımlar neticesinde ortaya çıkmaya başlayan merkezî devlet yönetimleri bünyesindeki yeri tartışılacaktır. Genel olarak bu merkezî yapılanmaların, bir antik çağ mirasının, o dönem merkezî oluşumlarının içerisinde ne kadar da önemli olduğunu göstermek amaçlanmaktadır.

Enlightenment and reformation in the historical writings of Thomas M'Crie
(2007) Durgun, Fatih
There are a limited number of studies of post-Enlightenment Scottish historiography and these are mainly concerned with the imaginative literature products of the period. However, there were many reflections of the conflicts and discussions about religious, political and social matters in the historiography of period from the Enlightenment to the separation of the Evangelicals from the Established Church of Scotland in the Disruption of 1843. My research aims at investigating the outstanding themes in the works of a post-Enlightenment Scottish history-writer, Thomas M’Crie. The reception of the Enlightenment ideas—as we perceived it in the texts—by an early nineteenth century Scottish historian and divine will not only show the perception of these ideas by an individual but also will bring forward to the much neglected issue of the relationship between the Enlightenment and the Evangelical movement within and outside the Church of Scotland. M’Crie’s historical works are very important for their depiction of a particular contribution, made most firmly by the Seceders to the intellectual environment and religio-political discussions of the time. His works were an attempt to restore the estimation of the Scottish Reformation past in reaction to an Enlightenment historiography, which attacked this heritage as a hindrance to progressive ideas and fuller integration into the British state. His restorationist and Counter-Enlightenment view was a Scottish manifestation of a movement in Europe at large responding to the dangerous ideas disseminated by Enlightenment thinkers and actions of the French Revolutionaries.

History, presbyterianism and the confessional state : David Calderwood and his writings in the post-reformation Scotland
(2007) Özdemir, Muhammed Burak
Thanks to recently developed methodologies in history writing, the analysis of relatively lesser known figures in the area of intellectual history, placing them in their historical context has become important in historical studies. The investigation pursued in this thesis explains a seventeenth-century politico-religious context of Scotland, through the writings of a leading Presbyterian minister of the period, David Calderwood. Here Calderwood emerges as an important representative of the expression of a confessional identity. His ideas are interesting enough to refute the claims of some historians that religion began to be excluded from all intellectual debates of this period. His works mainly reflect a radical Presbyterian stance, opposing that of the Episcopalians. The elucidation of the aspects of this radical Presbyterianism illustrates how the early modern Scottish discussion between Presbyterians and Episcopalians had a constitutive role in establishing an identity. History was a useful intellectual tool for Calderwood to offer a solution to this debate. But, historical precedents could provide guidance only in so far as God’s providential plan was perceived in them, as directing the course of all events, and justifying religious and moral commands—in fact, Presbyterianism—now identifiable with the nation’s historical path.

The prosopography of English monastic orders at the dissolution: evidence from the national archives assessed
(Liverpool University Press, 2019) Thornton, David E.
This paper evaluates a number of series of document at The National Archives as evidence for the prosopography of monastic orders in England and Wales during the second half of the 1530s. In particular, the testimony of the acknowledgments of the Oath of Supremacy in 1534 (TNA, E 25), the certificates of the suppression commissioners in 1536, the deeds of surrender from 1538–40 (TNA, E 322), and the various types of document which outline monastic pensions are assessed in so far as they record the identity and numbers of monks, regular canons and nuns at the time of the Dissolution. The paper demonstrates that, despite the importance of these various primary sources, none when taken alone completely and accurately describe the religious personnel of individual monasteries, and concludes with a call for a fresh examination and publication of the relevant documents.

Rites of passage and the liminal dead in medieval and reformation Britain
(2015-12) Boyacıoğlu, Elif
This study explores accounts of the liminal, returning dead in medieval and Reformation Britain through the anthropological schema of the Rites of Passage, identified by Van Gennep early in the twentieth century. These Rites of Passage, on the concept level, have existed within human society for a very long time, as they take their foundations out of the very human conditions that support and carry the community and society itself. Society's perceptions of death as well as the Rites of Passage that surround death are examined over the said period, to argue that the returning dead were the very representation of failed Rites of Passage: the liminal presence. It is thus proposed here that even through major changes in shape and perception, these Rites of Passage and the result of their failure, the liminal presence retained their inherent properties. As such it is argued here that the liminal dead, were a continued presence within a society that underwent great religious changes. From the revenant, the walking dead, perhaps the purest incarnation of liminality to the later apparitions of ghosts in the Reformation period, the liminal presence, in all its incarnations, is shaped beyond anything else through the Rites of Passage, in all their universality.
