Imagination of
Civilization and Human
Report with Prof. Dr. Saadettin ÖKTEN
As of the 19 th century, it became a necessity to have even closer contacts
with the world and other civilisations. Since a part of the society could not
understand the new “form” of the world, they came to the conclusion that
the virtues of our civilization were invalid. This way of thinking caused a
crisis which emerged with the administrative reforms and the same crisis
still continues. Another part of the society, however, blindly thought that
our virtues were good, resisting to let in any useful virtues or ideas from
the outside world, even though they did not have any awareness about the
world. Thus, the Ottoman Adventure formally reached its end.
