The Eastern Question, as it was termed by the European Powers in
the nineteenth century, was a debate primarily concerned with the
issue of "what to do with the Turk?." The Ottoman Empire had become
known as the "sick man of Europe" following its gradual decline
since the eighteenth century, and its demise would be highly
problematic for the crowned heads of Europe. This unique book
focuses on the intellectual and political dynamics of the first
Ottoman political opposition in the modern sense, the so-called
"Young Ottomans." In the process it narrates an alternative version
of the Eastern Question as experienced and told by its Eastern
observers and critics. Nazan Cicek shows how an important section
of the newly-rising semi-autonomous Ottoman Muslim Turkish
intelligentsia in the second half of the nineteenth century
effectively answered the alternative question of "what to do with
the West?."
