The eighteenth century brought a period of tumultuous change to the
Ottoman Empire. While the Empire sought modernization through
military and administrative reform, it also lost much of its
influence on the European stage through war and revolt. In this
book, Ethan L. Menchinger sheds light on intellectual life,
politics, and reform in the Empire through the study of one of its
leading intellectuals and statesmen, Ahmed Vasif. Vasif's life
reveals new aspects of Ottoman letters - heated debates over moral
renewal, war and peace, justice, and free will - but it also forces
the reappraisal of Ottoman political reform, showing a vital
response that was deeply enmeshed in Islamic philosophy, ethics,
and statecraft. Tracing Vasif's role through the turn of the
nineteenth century, this book opens the debate on modernity and
intellectualism for those students and researchers studying the
Ottoman Empire, intellectual history, the Enlightenment, and
Napoleonic Europe.
