Abstract

One of the main discussion topics of sociology is the social differentaton phenomenon. Turkish society has alevi sunni differentaton which is coming not from essence of religion but from the history that has formed sociologically. In fact, dimension of the conflicts based on differentaton arising between Muslim societes goes beyond the conflict with different religions. As this behaviour occurs historically, it also takes place currently. It is not possible to understand Alevi-Sunni differences without examining the differentatons which occurs sociologically and which is not coming fram the essence of religion. Therefore in this study the sociological aspects of the differentaton of Alevi-Sunni which is both based on the belief in Anatolia and with the reality which is shaped by politcally, socially and cultural dynamics are aimed to be put forward.
