Students are expected to learn the ideologies that emerged after the establishment of the modern state and continue to exist today and their relationship with the modern state. Undoubtedly, modern political ideologies have been the subject of debate even at the time of their emergence and have undergone significant transformations over time. In order to trace the transformations of these ideologies, the course tries to show the different approaches of different thinkers on the same ideology. There can be no doubt that modern ideologies will bear the social-political and economic traces of the period in which they emerged. For this reason, the social, political and economic context that led to the emergence of the ideology in question is reviewed in detail before the analysis of the thinkers, thus showing that ideologies are not just utopias in the minds of thinkers.
