The most important aim of this study  is to expose the ability and the tool-kit of an  Ottoman intellectual, who claims himself belong to  the Ottoman Nation, making use of the knowledge of  the west for domestic politics and arguments in order  to  propose a genuine, self-governing and permanent  Ottoman culture. Besides the knowledge of the west,  Ahmed Midhat''s Alafranga represents a very  significant literary form that demonstrates the  modern change in the intellectual production in  Europe. In that perspective, exposing his motivations  behind writing an etiquette manual, a literary form  which is related to the modern idea of creating a  mechanism of self-control for the individuals, and at  large for the society itself, is significant the ways   in which these motivations represent the ideas of a  Tanzimat intellectual on the modernization of the  Ottoman society, considering his sympathy for the  Hamidian worldview and modernization projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838353630\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOttomanism and Cosmopolitanism in Ahmed Midhat''s Alafranga\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838353630","offer_id":39469204045917,"sku":"9783838353630","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/ff6cc36c-d904-440f-9c86-ae56ca0f50f7.jpg?v=1758952966","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/savoir-vivre-cosmopolite-von-can-eyup-cekic","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
