Orhan Güneş. Eski ile Yeniye Bakmak: Bir Âlimin Gözünden Modern Astronomi. Hayâtîzâde’nin Efkâru’l-Ceberût Adlı Eseri [Looking from the Old to the New: Modern Astronomy Through the Eyes of a Scholar. Hayātīzāde’s Work Entitled Afkār al-jabarūt] (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This work explores the re-evaluation of traditional methodologies in the history of science, specifically focusing on how Ottoman society integrated modern astronomy from Europe. It critiques previous narratives that claim such developments were solely the result of modern educational institutions, suggesting instead that deeper cultural and scholarly exchanges occurred, as illustrated through Hayātīzāde Seyyid Şeref Halīl's translation of Abbaskulu Ağa Bākīhanlı's work. The author, Orhan Güneş, provides a detailed analysis that highlights the significance of these intercultural exchanges in shaping Ottoman scientific practices.

Re-examining globalization and the history of science: Ottoman and Middle Eastern experiences
British Journal for the History of Science, 2022
For several decades historians of science have interrogated the relationship between empire and science, largely focusing on European imperial powers. At the same time, scholars have sought alternatives to an early diffusionist model of the spread of modern science, seeking to capture the multi-directional and dialogic development of science and its institutions in most parts of the globe. The papers in this special issue illuminate these questions with added attention to particular claims about the exceptionalismor notof Islamic societies' approach to science, modernity and politics. Each contribution centres individuals and groups who engaged with science theoretically or practically, taking seriously their analytical categories and how they understood and grappled with the social, economic and intellectual transformations happening around them. Collectively, these studies make the case for Middle Eastern and Ottoman history as useful sites for furthering our field's understanding of processes of the globalization of science and how authority, politics and science have been and continue to be interconnected.

The cursory overlook the researches shows that Ottoman Empire, in general, has no conflict with science. It invites man to cultivate science. The contribution of Muslims in the field of science has been significant. After 13 We have witnessed too many scientific developing in the Ottoman period. But, there are some claims for the conflict between science and religion in Ottoman period. Historically some religious intellectuals like, Sheik al-Islam and ulama opposed to the scientific developing and majority of them supported to scientific developing/reforms. century they paid more attention to religious teachings to preserve it from negative influences. Especially in the nineteenth centuries scientific and technological revolution in the West unfortunately was misunderstood by the many Muslims at that time and lagged behind.
