Abstract
Although the concepts of modernity and modernism are frequently encountered in both social science literature and everyday life, there is widespread confusion about the semantic domain these concepts encompass and the aspects in which they differ. The confusion in question leads to complex situations such as the improper usage of these concepts in ways that are incompatible with their meanings, or the use of these concepts interchangeably, even in many academic works. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate clearly the semantic domains of the words modernity and modernism, as well as their differences and similarities, and to explain their characteristics as an intra-Western debate by referring to the historical and social context in which they originated. In this study, the main discussions that have arisen within this framework have been assessed using a comparative analysis method, and it has been suggested that modernity could be understood as the post-19th century historical tale of the West, and modernism as the culture of modernity.

İnsan için doğa fethedilmesi gereken bir entiteye dönüşürken, insanın doğayı zaptetmek üzere verdiği mücadele, onun doğayı istediği gibi sömürebilmesinin meşru nedeni olarak ortaya çıkmıştır
Summary
The concepts of modernity and modernism are frequently encountered in both social science literature and everyday life, there is widespread confusion about the semantic domain these concepts encompass and the aspects in which they differ. Yüzyıl boyunca yoğun düşünsel mücadelelere neden olan modernite tartışmasının Türk okuyucusu açısından anlamını ve bağlamını ortaya çıkarmaya çalışmak, söz konusu tartışma ile bağlantılı olarak “modernite (modernlik)” ve “modernizm” şeklinde karşımıza çıkan kavramların bağlamlarına ve kapsadıkları anlam alanına dair bir sondaj çalışması yapmak üzere kaleme alınmıştır. Bireyin bilgi ve toplum için bir başlangıç noktası olarak değerlendirilişi ile “pazar” ve “mübadele”yi yaratan şartlar da ortaya çıkmıştır.
