Abdülhak Adnan Adıvar (1882-1955) (Dr. Adnan Adıvar) was a Turkish politician, writer, historian and by profession a medical doctor. He has done original research and written on history of science. He was also an early supporter of the nascent feminist movement.
He was one of the intellectuals within Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's circle, active in the Turkish War of Independence with his wife the author Halide Edip Adivar. He escaped arrest in Istanbul by occupying British who were making a sweep of all Ottoman intellectuals and deporting to Malta at the end of WWI, by joining the Kemalist forces in Anatolia. Later he parted ways with Mustafa Kemal, disagreeing with the new direction young Republic was taken. He opposed the immense powers given to Ataturk by the parliament, fearing he was going to be a dictator. He joined the short-lived opposition party and his name was later associated with an attempt on Mustafa Kemal's life in 1926 and he had to go abroad for a while. Even though he was cleared, he stayed in exile until 1939.
He directed publication of the Turkish edition of the Encyclopedia of Islam, contributing its introduction and a number of articles. His other works include La Science Chez les Turks Ottomans (Paris, 1939), a Turkish translation of Bertrand Russell's Philosophical Matters (1936), a two-volume work in Turkish on science and religion through history, and many essays and articles on cultural and scientific topics.
He held various government and parliamentary positions in the early years of the Turkish Republic. He was a deputy in the first Turkish Parliament in 1920 and again elected there for the 1946-1950 session.
