Kalām studies of the Buwayhids period

This paper deals with the studies of theology during the Buwayhid period. In general, this is a period in which the understanding of kalām was systematized. This period, in which the problems, means and aims of Kalām emerged more clearly, was studied with regards to the effect of the political power of the period. In this paper; the understanding of religion and sects in the Buwayhid era, the relations and interactions of the Kalām schools, the problems discussed during the period and the works that deal with these problems are discussed. Studies on a particular historical period have generally been based on individuals, sects or problems. Although the Buwayhid period is the subject of studies in different disciplines, there are no studies focused on this era in the field of Kalām. This study employed qualitative research method, the literature that emerged in the Buwayhids period was analyzed, the different sects were compared, and the opinions were evaluated. There are also no studies on a certain historical period in the field of kalām. Along with the works of kalām that were compiled during the period, current studies were taken as a basis, together with the studies on strata, history, religions-sects. In this period, it is assumed that the governing body did not raise peculiar issues and problems. It is thought that this was caused by the government's concerns over losing ground. Conclusively, it can be said that the schools of Kalām in this period interacted by adopting a conciliatory attitude.
