Öğe Ali Suavi's understanding of civilization in the Ulum newspaper: a response to the western claims of civilizational superiority and idealization of an Islamic civilization(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Deniz, Numan; Gündoğdu, CihangirABSTRACT: Ali Suavi is among the most interesting figures in the late Ottoman intellectual history. In some earlier works, he has been portrayed as a secular Turkist, while in others, he was presented as an early Islamist responsible for the twentieth-century crises in the Middle East. His stance on parliamentary regime has been another problematic theme. Seen as a confused member of the Young Ottomans, Suavi has been accused of intellectual incapacity, who would otherwise not turn on the idea of constitutional government in his later writing. In this study, I attempt to reflect on such problems. In order to offer a new reading of Ali Suavi’s thought, I focus on his notion of civilization as part of a broader context that was shaped by the nineteenth-century Western imperialism and discourse of civilizational superiority. This way, his writings on Turkish history and language, his discussion of ideal government, or his critique of the West can gain new meanings, and this can help us make a better sense of his thought.
