The volume that you are now holding would not have come into existence without the guidance and support of many people. It is pleasure to acknowledge those showed the way and kept me moving forward. I have been deeply honored to have had an immensely resourceful committee. I cannot thank them enough for always being there. Bob Westman’s astute observations, continued encouragement and astounding diligence steered me back into course count- less times. He was at once the advisor and the editor of this twice-written dissertation, and much that is good in the following pages bears his mark. Without Hasan Kayalı’s unflinching support, generosity and guidance, I would not have had the courage or the resources to write a dissertation on the Ottoman Empire. Without John Marino’s men- torship and inventiveness, I would not have developed the mental toughness that was essential for setting up and maintaing the comparative framework of my thesis. Without Luce Giard’s sagacity, encouragement and perseverance, I would not have had either the audacity or the intellectual flexibility to look at the Ottomans with fresh eyes. I am grateful to Craig Callender and Frank Biess for their support but also for some of my best class-hours at UCSD. Two people are responsible for the initial inspiration behind this dissertation. It was Kasper Eskildsen who first brought the early Enlightenment to my attention, and introduced me to the individuals whose scholarship informs this dissertation. ¸Serif Mardin was the first to introduce me to the Islamic dimension of Ottoman modernity and to Esad of Ioannina. I cannot thank them enough. Over the years, a number of other great teachers have generously shared their time and knowledge with me. I would also like to thank Tal Golan, Cynthia Truant, Nina Zhiri and Tom Gallant for their contributions to my education and research in San Diego. Both prior to coming to UCSD and after I passed my qualifying exams, I have spent a number of pleasant and edifying years at Sabancı University in Istanbul. Tülay Artan’s expertise, generous encouragement and feedback have kept me going in the right direction. I would like to thank Metin Kunt, Halil Berktay and Hakan Erdem for their viii mentorship during my formative years as a graduate student. I would also like to express my gratitude to Ak¸sinSomel and Hülya Canbakal for their continued support over the years. Research for this dissertation took me to a number of libraries in Turkey, Europe and the United States. I have appreciated the assistance that I received at UCSD’s Geisel Library, the Süleymaniye Manuscript Library, the British Library, the History of Science Collections at the University of Oklahoma, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Sabancı University, Orientinstitut Istanbul and ISAM. I also owe an immense debt of gratitude to the ILL staff at many institutions. If it were not for them, I would have never had access to much of the rare material that was essential to my research. My gratitude goes particularly to the ILL staff at USCD, at Sabancı University and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. I am also proud to acknowledge the various fellowships and grants that supported my research. My main patrons during both research and writing have been the Depart- ment of History and the Science Studies Program at UCSD. A generous pre-dissertation research fellowship from the Council for European Studies has funded my early research at the British Library. A Mellon Fellowship took me to the University of Oklahoma’s History of Science Collections for revisions. A “Writing-Up” fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science saw me through the final months of writing. I am also grateful for a small grant from Orientinstitut Istanbul that helped me acquire an important eighteenth-century work. As a traveller in strange lands, I have been the lucky recipient of kindness, friend- ship and advice from innumerable individuals. Raine Daston’s generosity and support has been invaluable during my stay in Berlin. Khaled El-Rouayheb’s company and advice has saved me from a number of errors. I would like to thank Edhem Eldem, Daniel Goffman and the participants at Max-Planck’s pre-doctoral discussion seminar for their valuable encouragement and feedback. I would also like to thank Christine von Oertzen, Florence Hsia, Paul Erickson, Amrys O’Williams, Fernando Vidal, Han Ver- meulen, Markus Friedrich, Dora Vargha, Ulla Kypta and Jenny Spinks for their warm and learned company. I owe a debt of gratitude to Steven Livesey, Peter Barker, Rienk Vermij, Kerry Magruder, Joann Palmeri and Margaret Gaida for a wonderful and pro- ix ductive month at the University of Oklahoma’s History of Science Collections. During my doctoral journey, I also made many good friends. I would like to thank Alper and Becka Yalçınkaya for always being there. I cherish Cristina and An- drew Trecha’s warmth and friendship. I am grateful to Zeynep Bulut for much needed camaraderie in San Diego and in Berlin. Fatma Ülgen’s warm and wise company has been as enjoyable in Istanbul as it was in San Diego. I thank Kate McDonald for being a true friend and an excellent roommate. And, last but not least, I am grateful to Ayhan Ayte¸s,Benny Cohen, Aytek Soner Alpan and Matthew Shindell for making my days in San Diego much better than they would have been otherwise. My parents, Ayfer and Özcan have always been unwavering in their support and watchful presence, although I spent the better half of my adult life thousands of miles away from home. I continue to owe them my most heartfelt gratitude. Finally, I want to thank my wife Merve for her love, support, bravery and perseverance. She was with me at every step of this journey. I humbly dedicate this work to her. x VITA EDUCATION 2003 B.

  • My Own Life[1]
    My Own Life[1] Dorion Cairns I was born July 4th, 1901, in the village of Contoocook, in the town of Hopkinton, New Hampshire. My father, James George Cairns, was the pastor of the Methodist Church in Contoocook, and I was the first child of my parents. During my first three and a half years of life, my father moved from one place to another as pastor of Methodist Churches in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. My brother, Stewart Scott Cairns, currently Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois, was born May 8th, 1904. My father felt that there was no future for a young minister in New England, and he decided to move his family—which consisted of my mother, my brother and me—to California. He shipped all of our family goods, all of our furniture and things, to California on the very day of the San Francisco Earthquake, or “Fire,” as they like to call it in San Francisco. The California Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at that time controlled what was called the “Utah Mission.” This was a mission to Mormon Territory, needless to say. My father, since there were so many people of longer standing in the California Conference who had no churches left owing to the earthquake, was given a church in Utah Mission, in Salt Lake City itself. It was there in 1907 that my sister Mary, who is the wife of James Wilkinson Miller, currently Professor of Philosophy at McGill University in Montreal, was born. When they wanted to transfer my father from this little church in Salt Lake City to a church or mission in Provo, Utah, my father went and looked at the set-up in Provo, and he came back, and it was the first time I had seen a grown man cry.

Cole 121 Notes Alphabetical Lives: Early Modern German Biographical Lexicons and Encyclopedias Richard G. Cole Luther College, Emeritus Those who appear obvious to us as “major players” in past eras may in part result from an unintended consequence of the work of early modern biographical lexicographers. By the eighteenth century, there were enough printed sources and available archival materials to deluge or even overwhelm historians and biographers with information about past actors of sixteenth century history. Those biographical lexicographers made choices about whom to give prominence and whom to minimize or ignore in their works. Much has been written about the impact of printing from the time of Gutenberg through the early modern period of European history. New methods of storing and retrieving data, producing accurate maps and printing biographical lexicons are but a few of the contributions of early modern European printing presses.1 By the end the seventeenth century, a new book genre, the biographical lexicon and encyclopedia, emerged from sixteenth century German print technology.

    AT HOME IN THE WORLD: THE SAVANT IN THE SERVICE OF GLOBAL EDUCATION Karl S. Guthke The Emergence of the Idea of Global Education in the Eighteenth Century “The proper study of mankind is man”—but why include the exploration of the ways of New Zealand cannibals? In the second half of the eighteenth century Europeans had an answer: awareness of the world at large and its inhabitants would result in nothing less than a new, comparative under- standing of human nature in general—and of themselves in particular. From about mid-century, scholars, scientists and public intellectuals championed this idea, intrigued by what Burke called “the great map of mankind”1 unfolding under their eyes in the increasingly numerous accounts of expeditions to remote corners of the world. Unlike the voy- ages of an earlier age, undertaken for profit or the saving of savage souls, the “philosophical voyages” of the “second age of discovery”, with their naturalists and anthropologists aboard, while not always innocent of political or commercial motivation, were to gain more knowledge of the world and especially a more adequate “idea of our species”.2 To qualify as an educated person, it was no longer sufficient to look inward or to study European cultural history all the way back to Antiquity; global, rather than traditional humanistic education was becoming the order of the day. As Burke, Herder and others postulated, Europeans should now turn their attention to contemporary Persia, Egypt, China and Japan rather than ancient Greece and Rome and take cognizance of the various degrees of “barbarism” and “refinement” (Burke) encountered in distant latitudes and longitudes; “to study man”, Rousseau claimed, “one needs to learn to look in the distance”.3 What counts now, as the horizon is widening, is 1 Thomas W.

Faust's Begehren: Revisiting the History of Political Economy in Faust II Abstract Since The ubP lication of Faust II, commentators interested in economic aspects of the text have focused primarily on three of its five acts. Bernd Mahl, whose work on Goethe’s economic knowledge remains a standard reference, writes that the topics most frequently addressed following its publication are the creation of paper money in act 1, Faust’s renewed activity in act 4, and the commercial ventures of Faust and Mephistopheles in act 5.1 More recent investigations have generally continued this trend.2 Given this lengthy history of interpretation, what is one to make of the second and third acts of Faust II with respect to economic matters? In the “Ökonomische Lesart” (Economic Reading) section of his Faust commentary, Ulrich Gaier offers this assessment: “Angesichts der Tatsache, daß sich der 2.

  • „The Origins of Objectivity in Communal Discussion“. Einige Bemerkungen Zu Gadamers Und Davidsons Interpretationen Des Philebos
    Rafael Ferber „The Origins of Objectivity in Communal Discussion“. Einige Bemerkungen zu Gadamers und Davidsons Interpretationen des Philebos „Inwendig lernt kein Mensch sein Innerstes / Erkennen, Denn er mißt nach eigenem Maß...“ J. W. Goethe, Torquato Tasso In memoriam Franco Volpi Es gehört zu den erstaunlichen Tatsachen der Philosophie des späten 20. Jahrhunderts, dass zwei ihrer herausragenden Repräsentanten ihre lange akade- mische Laufbahn mit demselben platonischen Spätdialog begonnen haben. Es sind dies Hans Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) mit seiner 1928 angenommenen Marburger Habilitationsschrift Platos dialektische Ethik. Phänomenologische Interpretationen zum Philebos (1931) und Donald Davidson (1917-2003) mit seiner Dissertation Platos Philebus (1949) an der University of Harvard. „nisi ad Philebum redieris, prorsus intelligere non possis“ („wer nicht zum ,Philebus‘ zurückgeht, dessen Erkennen kann nicht vorankommen“) — diesen Ausspruch Friedrich Adolf Trendelenburgs (1802-1872) in seiner Berliner An- trittsrede De Platonis Philebi consilio (1837) scheinen mutatis mutandis beide zu bestätigen.1 Gadamer wurde wohl durch seinen Lehrer Paul Friedländer (1882- 1968) auf diesen Dialog gelenkt, Davidson aber durch Raphael Demos (1892- 1968). Dessen Werk The Philosophy of Plato befand sich seit 1939 im Besitz Davidsons, und er war zusammen mit Donald C.
