ORTAÇAĞ İSLAM MEDENİYETİNİN YÜKSELME DÖNEMİ ve AVRUPA RÖNESANSI: TARİHSEL PARALELLER
THE ERA OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEDIEVAL MUSLIM CULTURE AND THE EUROPEAN RENAISSANCE: HISTORICAL PARALLELS

Summary/Abstract: One of the most discussed topics among historians is the development of Eastern and Western civilizations, their similarities and differences in different periods of history. According to most Western historians, the historical path of development of European countries is classical, “correct”, while at the same time, countries developing along a specific path are “non-traditional”. Some historians, trying to find analogues of European institutions in the East, create even more confusion in the process of studying the history of the development of various civilizations. By looking for institutions similar to those of Europe in the Eastern countries, these historians thereby actually reject the possibility that these countries have their own path of development. One of these events is the Renaissance. In the article, we focus on the features of the development of medieval Muslim culture and its origins, as well as on the question of whether the Renaissance is a universal event, and to what extent this term is applicable to medieval Eastern civilizations.
