Yanyalı Esad Efendi in the Light of His Period and Scholarly Circle, which presents an example of the intellectual deepening and diversification of the Ottoman scholarly world in the 17th and 18th centuries by focusing on Yanyalı Esad Efendi, consists of essays by fourteen authors. These complementary essays, based on extensive research, present Yanyalı&#39;s biography, scholarly circle, and major works, as well as his contributions to Islamic thought and Aristotle&#39;s philosophical heritage, in addition to his knowledge of classical Eastern and Western languages, his focus on philosophy, and his translations and commentaries from Latin. In the light of the testimony of Yanyalı&#39;s own texts and the biographical sources of the period, these studies reveal that he was able to make expansions in the tradition of Islamic and Ottoman thought, to evaluate the schools representing the intellectual heritage of his time with an impartial approach, and to receive opinions from thinkers of different stripes. His syntheses between the mutaqaddimīn and mutaqahhirīn, Illuminationist and theological, Sufi and Peripatetic traditions, and his new proposals and evaluations on the terms of physics and logic are some of the topics examined. These scholarly contributions, which are based on primary sources by authors who are experts in their fields, will help to understand the world of thought of Asad Effendi of Yanyalı in its entirety and to better determine his position in the period.
