Summary/Abstract: Ottoman thought is a structure that was built on the accumulation of Turkish-Islamic culture and civilization that existed before it, and carries traces of other civilizations and thought systems with the expansion of its borders. XII. The stagnation experienced in scientific circles due to the problems experienced in the Islamic geography in the century also affected the Ottoman thought of the classical period.. In this period, efforts were made to revive the life of thought, scientific studies were supported, and the tradition of Tehȃfut was continued. With the effects of the inherited climate of thought, the discipline of philosophy found a place for itself in the Ottoman Empire, in more philosophical vocabulary and Sufism. There were negative attitudes as well as positive approaches in Ottoman thought against philosophy, which was described as "love of wisdom" by Islamic philosophers. In this period, while there were those who expressed negative views on all philosophical views, there were also thinkers who did not mind to engage in philosophy in fields such as logic, ethic and politic apart from the principles of the religious convention.
