Arap-İslam Kültüründe Kendini Bilime Adama: Fuat Sezgin Örneği

Abstract

In Arabic-Islamic history along with the advent of Islam, scientific studies that started with the Ahl al-Suffa, and the culture of self-commitment to science and truth in this manner continued in the later periods, leading to the emergence of scholars and the revealing of important works. Islamic scholars have made important studies throughout the history in the Islamic sciences as well as the scientific sciences and pioneered important discoveries and scientific studies that have enlightened humanity to these days. In the modern period, many studies have been carried out in both the East and the West about Arabic-Islamic culture and science. Fuat Sezgin has put forward the most important and most remarkable works in this field. The most important issues that differentiate Fuat Sezgin from other scientists working in this field are that he brought the West and the East together in a culturally common area, and, with his works he avoided, albeit relatively, the wrong perceptions of the Arabic-Islamic culture in the West.
