Osmanlı Devleti’nde Köleliğin Askeri, İktisadi, Sosyal Ve Hukuki Çerçeveleri
Military, Economic, Social and Legal Frameworks of Slavery in the Ottoman Empire

Summary/Abstract: Slavery is an important litmus paper in determining the layers and stages of human evolution. Slavery, which had a social and economic function in all societies from the First Age to the Modern Age, was one of the most important elements of Ottoman state and social life. Strong emphasis is placed on the contradiction between the concept of slavery being pushed out of human value systems and its acceptance as a natural fact of creation in all beliefs and cultures before the Modern Age. On this occasion, attention was drawn to the concept of cultural time. In the study, the cultural basis of slavery in the Ottoman Empire was touched on, and the military, economic, social and legal frameworks of slavery were analyzed on a micro scale.
