Ottoman Imperial Ideology: Religion, Society and Culture in the Classical Period 1451 - 1603 Book Description

Ottoman Imperial Ideology aims to identify the distinctive features of the period, based on the works between 1451 and 1603, and points out the importance of taking literary works into account in studies in the field of social sciences.
The classical age represents a very rich period in terms of both copyrighted and translated works. Examining these works is very important in terms of understanding the dominant norms, mentality patterns and politics of the period. In this process of understanding, we should not neglect the determining factors such as the "real" intentions of the authors, their closeness to the sultan, the palace circle and bureaucrats, and their affiliations to religion, sect and sect.
From this point of view, when it comes to the "ideology" of the Ottoman Empire, Ali Fuat Bilkan tries to understand how historical events and facts gained a religious identity over time and took on a hereditary character by settling in the subconscious of societies as "sacred history". It offers a reference source.
“It is known that the imperial discourse was generally at the forefront in the works of art produced during the Ottoman classical period, when the patrimonial state gained an institutional identity. The imperial character of the works written in this period and the new literary genres that emerged reflect the 'new ideology' of the Ottoman Empire, the most powerful heir of the Roman imperial legacy.”
Ali Fuat Bilkan
