Abstract

Prof. Dr. Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu’s new book released in November 2019 and titled Medreseler Neydi, Ne Değildi? Osmanlılarda Akli İlimlerin Eğitimi ve Modern Bilimin Girişi [What were Madrasas, What were They not? Instruction of Rational Disciplines and Introduction of Modern Science to the Ottomans] is a collection of essays published in the last decades. In the book’s prefice Prof. İhsanoğlu stresses the newly emerged research interest in the madrasa history and “the nostalgia for
the madrasa education” due to idealogical reasons rather than objective necessity. The extended introduction to the book puts forward the issue of how the madrasa history should be approached.
