Prior to the summary and analysis of the book, a brief introduction on the basic aspects of the Adivar’s scholarship is written in order to provide useful insights to the main work. In the summary and analysis of the book, the main topics of the table of contents are taken as basis. In the conclusion part, main criticisms addressed to “Science in the Ottoman Turks” are mentioned with the intention to give the reader a broader perspective.
