Studies on Ottoman Science and Culture is a comprehensive collection of eleven insightful articles authored by the distinguished historian Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu. This remarkable book delves into a wide range of topics related to the histories of science and culture during the Ottoman era. What sets this volume apart is the fact that most of the articles contained herein represent pioneering contributions to their respective fields, continuing to spark lively discussions and debates among academics even today.
In the first volume of the author's collected papers, which appeared in the Variorum Collected Studies (2004), the author sought to dispel the negative perceptions surrounding Ottoman science that had been propagated by scholars of the previous generation. In this new and exciting sequel, the author embarks on a further exploration and refinement of the paradigm of scientific activities and cultural interactions within and beyond the Ottoman Empire.
One of the central themes examined in this book is the intriguing perspective of Islamic scholars towards revolutionary notions in Western science, such as Copernican heliocentrism and Darwin's theory of evolution. The author sheds light on how these scholars grappled with and interpreted these concepts, exploring the complexities and nuances of their intellectual journey.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Ottoman history, as well as those with a deep interest in the history of science and cultural history. Its comprehensive coverage and scholarly insights make it an essential read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating period in world history.
