Natural philosophy and politics in the eighteenth century: Esad of Ioannina and Greek aristotelianism at the Ottoman court

Öz:
Yanyalı Esad Efendinin El-Tā līmüs-Sālis isimli ve Johannes Cottuniusun Commentarii... de physico auditunun Arapça çevirisi olan risalesi, III. Ahmet devrinin en önemli çalışmalarından biridir. Çeviri, Padova Aristoculuğunu dönemin Müslüman yazınına sokmuştur. İbn Sinacılık, işrâkilik ve kelam gibi Osmanlı İstanbulunda popüler olan fikir akımlarının aksine, Aristocu düşünceyi materyalist açıdan irdeleyen bu eser, felsefenin ana hatlarını yeniden çizerek fiziği ön plana çıkarmakta ve de felsefeyi dünyevi bir teselli kaynağı olarak takdim etmektedir. Çeviriye arka plan oluşturan ana dinamikler ise Yunan kimliğinin Rum Ortodoks kimliğinden ayrılmaya başlaması, felsefenin bir uğraşı olarak Osmanlı yönetici eliti arasında yaygınlık kazanması, ve de Müslüman ve Rum Ortodoks patronaj ağlarının girişik hale gelmesidir. İslâm felsefesi dinamikleri içinde okunagelmiş olan bu eser, daha önce Rum Aydınlanması olarak bilinen hareketin Osmanlının geneline mahsus daha geniş bir akımın bir parçası olduğuna işaret etmektedir.

XVIII. yüzyılda fizik ve politika: Yanyalı Esad Efendi ve Rum aristoculuğunun Osmanlı sarayındaki yeri

Öz:
Esad of Ioannina s El-Tā līmü s-Sālis, an Arabic translation of Johannes Cottunius s Commentarii...octo libros de physico auditu, is one of the most important artefacts of Ahmedian scholarship. The translation introduced Muslim readers to Paduan Aristotelianism. Esad s work featured a materialistic treatment of Aristotelianism, which was at odds with popular intellectual movements in Istanbul, such as Avicennism, illuminationism and philosophical theology. El-Tā līmü s-Sālis recast the meaning of philosophy in a way that placed greater emphasis on physics and that presented philosophy as a source of worldly solace. The dynamics that led to the translation include the emergence of a Greek identity that was separate from the Orthodox Church, the gentrification of philosophical discourse, and the intervolution of Muslim and Orthodox patronage networks. While Esad s work has often been treated as part and parcel of Islamic thought, the content and the context of his work suggests that the Neo-Hellenic Enlightenment of the early eighteenth century might be part of a broader Ottoman intellectual movement.
