Kâtip Çelebi’nin Osmanlı Sistemindeki “Çözülmeye” İlişkin Tespitleri ve Islaha Yönelik Teklifleri
Kâtip Çelebi's Detections on the "Dissolution" in the Ottoman System and Proposals for Reform

Summary/Abstract: The opinions, diagnoses, and proposals of numerous government officials and figures from the clergy who identified the causes of "dissolution" in the Ottoman state system and societal structure, and provided significant suggestions for remedies (reforms), are highly important in understanding the functioning of the process. Their accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations have not only remained significant during their time but have also retained and even increased their value over the course of history. Kâtip Çelebi (1609-1657) is one of these figures. Kâtip Çelebi's examination of the dissolution during a relatively early period, his proposals to investigate and halt the dissolution, and his contributions to problem-solving through original treatment suggestions make him highly valuable. Therefore, knowing this influential figure's observations and thoughts on the subject is crucial for comprehending the conditions of that era.
