Abstract

Relatons between Turkish Islamic civilizaton and Western civilizaton have always remained limited untl “Lale Devri” (Tulip Era). The developments of the Second Vienna Siege, eyes turned to Western civilizaton which was not valued before. Defeat shocks have turned into admiraton. Admiraton brought about surrender and imitaton over tme. Thus, the interacton between Otoman and Europe began to intensify in favor of Western civilizaton. As the frst conscious westernizaton, the Tulip Era, in many respects became a representatve of a legacy that influenced the understanding of later periods. Many innovatons of the Tulip Era, especially the printng press, as elements that initated Westernizaton, they opened the door to a new civilizaton route. In this period, defeats and sufferings turned into entertainment. At the same tme, this period is the startng point of alienaton of the Turkish people to their own values. Westernizaton in the Tulip Era began with a shock of defeat. Therefore, the reasons for the disruptons in our civilizaton, and the philosophical and scientfc background of the West's success, have never been understood at this and subsequent periods.
