Justice, Morality and Order-Ottoman Politics

Order (and the order of the world), morality, justice, state... These are the "holy" concepts of Ottoman history. Concepts that are generally used in a grandiloquent tone to establish an ideology of eternal power. The book in your hand makes a comprehensive examination of Ottoman-Islamic thought by opening these concepts like a fan. The impact of pre-Ottoman Islamic thought and the political ideologies of pre-Anatolian Turkish communities based on the understanding of "mobile space" on the Ottoman period constitutes a comprehensive introduction. This is followed by a detailed and nuanced examination of the understanding of politics in Ottoman period political books, taking into account the course of change throughout history. In fact, this is a breakdown of not only the understanding of politics, but also the ideas and discussions about place, people, existence and all meaning. It is a document that opens up to the society's imagination about itself, beyond the political sphere.

Orhan Keskintaş puts one of the fundamental distinctions of pre-Ottoman Islamic political thought between "stability theology" and "order ontology". This separation should perhaps be considered together with his criticism of the framework of explanation of modern Islamist thought that focuses on the political sphere. The author proposes to evaluate the legacy of Ottoman political thought experience for knowledge of the possibility of coexistence.

A journey into the history of thought that uses rich material within a flexible analytical framework.
