Abstract

The Alevis, as major minority religious group in Turkey, has attracted the attention of the scholars, particularly by the second half of the twentieth century. Although the number of academic studies on Alevism have dramatically increased, the question of whether Alevism is a branch of Shi`ism has not been thoroughly explored. The majority of recent works have automatically classified Alevism as Shi`ite due to the shared religious doctrines by the two groups. They did not, however, interrogate those Shi`ite currents as to how they are applied and perceived in Shi`ism and Alevism. By using a comparative study of religion methodology, this paper will address to the notions of “heterodoxy”, “orthodoxy”, “metadoxy” in terms of how they have become central discourses in the Alevi based literature, and then the latest critics on these matters will be explored. Given that this article while presenting the diversity of views on Alevism, aims to question Alevism’s so-called links to Shi`ism.
