商品簡介
Dimensions of Transformation is a memoriam dedicated to Metin Kunt who grappled with this issue during nearly half a century long of his academic life. It offers original articles on examples of structural changes throughout Ottoman history in administrative, cultural, religious, and economic realms. This volume includes eighteen original chapters written by a group of historians specializing in various aspects of transformation in the Ottoman Empire. The introductory chapter provides an in-depth analysis of social changes in history along with its conceptual, sociological and philosophical dimensions. A significant part of the articles of this volume focus on concrete examples of actors and agents who played various roles at different stages of political, social and cultural evolution and change from medieval age to modernity. Certain contributions reflect a multitude of aspects of transformative processes and thus provide the reader a broad perspective for understanding the complexities of historical transformations and transitions.
