First, scholarspoint to a different side of the revolution.Second, the revolution is used as an umbrellaconcept. Revolution is used as a form of politicalviolence that includes rebellion, coup, and civilwar. These two factors make it difficult to give aclear definition of the revolution. In this work,we will propose an alternative reading ofrevolution to overcome these problems, at leastto some extent. This reading draws attention thatthe revolution has two fundamental usages:classical usage and modern usage. The classicuse of the revolution also includes other forms ofpolitical violence, such as rebellion andinsurrection. The classical use of the revolutionwe have seen since Ancient Egypt continueduntil the 18th century. With the 18th century, theconcept of revolution reached its moderncontent and started to be used in the sense ofcreating a new society based on the radicalrejection of the past. The modern content of therevolution may be more revealing in showingthe difference between the revolution and otherforms of political violence. We believe that sucha reading of revolution can offer a moresatisfactory answer to what revolution is, bysharply revealing the differences betweenrevolution and other forms of political violenceeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSiyasi Bilimler,Kültürel ÇalışmalarArticle050329342418731
