Language, Ethics and Politics in Taşköprülüzade

Taşköprülüzâde, one of the most prolific names of the Islamic tradition of thought in the 16th century, on the one hand gives a true representation of his era, which is called the Late Renewal Period and which stands out with its methodological integration efforts, on the other hand, stands out as a complete heir to the scientific knowledge produced in previous periods. In this respect, he reconsidered the main problems that developed within the traditions of theology, philosophy and mysticism, which he inherited, in accordance with the gradual understanding of knowledge and reality of his age, and brought a holistic view to different fields of theoretical and practical thought with the works he wrote.
This book, on the one hand, reveals Taşköprülüzâde's contributions to the field of practical philosophy through the basic concepts of political and moral thought, on the other hand, it shows the ways in which the thinker deals with the tradition of Islamic linguistics and its main problems by focusing on the linguistics tradition. In addition, in the book, the reader will have the opportunity to observe the practical politics of Taşköprülüzâde, who is also a judge, by seeing how Taşköprülüzâde has contributed to the polemic literature that can be considered current in terms of the thinker's refusal against the Jews.
