Abstract

The Pamphlet of Koçi Bey is the best known and the most comprehensive treatse among the treatses analyzing the changes in social and politcal order of Otoman Empire between 16th and 17th centuries, with a traditonal point of view. In this work Koçi Bey, gives a brilliant depicton of the Otoman past on the one hand; while on the other hand, he depicts the consequences of the corrupton of traditonal insttutons and within the framework of his perspectve, he tries to show the way out of depression by examining the causes of corrupton in society. This artcle should be considered as an effort of historical sociology moving from the point of how that period is taken as a subject of history today, rather than treatng any part or aspect of Otoman History as a historian.
