Book Synopsis
The nineteenth century was, for many societies, a period of coming to grips with the growing, and seemingly unstoppable, domination of the world by the "Great Powers" of Europe. This book examines what it meant for nineteenth-century Ottoman elites themselves to have a debate about science.

Trade Review
"The importance of new ideas about science in the development of new ideological currents in the late Ottoman Empire has been recognized for a while now, but no previous book has dealt with the topic in such detail and with such a focus as Yalcinkaya's excellent Learned Patriots." (Amit Bein, Clemson University)"
