Yüzyıl Osmanlı-Türk Mantık Tari- hine Genel Bir Bakış ___________________________________________________________ Tension of Exceeding and Reconstructing the Aristotelian Logic: An Over- view of 17th and 18th Century Ottoman-Turkish History of Logic HARUN KUŞLU İstanbul Medeniyet University Received: 20.07.2020Accepted: 30.09.2020 Abstract: Until recently, the studies on the Ottoman intellectual history showed a tendency to describe the seventeenth century and later periods as the “age of collapse and decline” while describing the fifteenth and sixteenth centu- ries as “productive periods”. It can be easily understood that this narrative is in- fluenced by political historiography rather than intellectual historiography. Nowadays, this attitude has changed and the way of producing and processing knowledge of Ottoman scholars in these centuries has begun to be handled more rationally. This article not only examines the views of Ottoman-Turkish logicians on various subjects in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries but also provides a general evaluation of the history of logic in these ages. It is ob- served that the mainstream logic studies exceeded the borders of Avicennian- Aristotelianism and developed a renewal attitude in itself. On the other hand, it is understood that some works have also brought a proposal to back to Aristo- tle as the idea of renewal, even if it could not establish a settled tradition. This article aims to present an imprecise proposal that the period can be read through these two qualities. Keywords: 17th century Ottoman thought, Ottoman history of logic, idea of renovation, Aristotelianism, non-Aristotelian inferences.
