Bu makalede modernleşmenin eğitim üstündeki etki ve sonuçları paralelinde Osmanlı Devleti’nde modern bilimlere ve fizik eğitimine nasıl bakıldığı, dönemin ilk fizik ders kitabı olan Usûl-ü Hikmet-i Tabiiye (Doğa Felsefesine Giriş) aracılığıyla açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Modernleşmenin anahtarı olan eğitsel gelişmeler, ülkede eski eğitim kurumlarının yanı sıra yeni eğitim kurumlarının açılmasına da öncülük etmiştir. Söz konusu yeni eğitim kurumlarının materyal ihtiyacı yeni ders kitaplarını bir zorunluluk haline getirmiştir. Usûl-ü Hikmet-i Tabiiye bu ders kitaplarından birisidir. 1885 yılında ilk baskısı yapılan kitabın yazarı Mehmet Emin Derviş Paşa’dır. Mühendishanelerde okutulmak için hazırlanan eser, yalın anlatımı ve ele aldığı konuların çeşitliliği, fotoğraflarla zenginleştirilmiş içeriği bakımından da değerlidir.
