Greco-Islamic philosophy and islamic jurisprudence in the Ottoman Empire (1300-1600): Aristotle's theory of sciences in works on uşūl al-fiqh

Bu makale Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun merkezi topraklarında 1300-1600 yılları arasında dini ilimlerdeki gelişmelerin özelliklerinin tespit edilmesi yolunda küçük bir katkı sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu makalede Osmanlı usûl-i fıkh yazarlarının bu ilmin tabiatı ve içeriğine dair düşünceleri incelenmektedir. Bu yazarlar Aristo mantığını benimseyen ve bunu kitaplarında kullanan seleflerinin görüşlerini benimsediler ve geliştirdiler. Onlara göre usûl-i fıkh ve füru-ı fıkhı kapsayan fıkıh ilmi Aristonun bir araştırma dalının bilim olarak adlandırılabilmesi için gerekli gördüğü tüm şartları taşıyordu ve bu ispatlanabilirdi.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu nda Yunan-İslâm felsefesi ve fıkıh ilmi (1300-1600): Usûl-i fıkıh çalışmalarında Aristo nun bilimler teorisi

This essay is a preliminary attempt to reveal features of religious scholarship in the Ottoman central lands during 1300-1600. I analyze the Ottoman uŝūl al-fiqh (theoretical jurisprudence) writers discourse on their discipline s nature and content. I show that the Ottoman scholars heartily adopted and developed the approach and views of the theoreticians, who used Aristotelian logic in their works. Hence, they conceived Islamic jurisprudence as a science and aspired to prove that it fulfilled all the requirements of Aristotle s theory of sciences.
