Abstract

The fall of Ottoman Empire in 19th century led a number of Ottoman thinkers to contemplate about its reasons. Among these thinkers, Namı k Kemal was a prominent figure who wrote enormously on the problem of Ottoman crisis and necessity of reform. This paper deals with a less-studied aspect of Ottoman modernist thought which is reflected in one of Kemal’ s works. Of numerous works by Kemal which are written in different style and genres, his Rü ya (i. e. dream) has received less academic attention. In this work, he has dreamed of a Utopian world in which the ideal society he wished came true. Indeed, Rü ya represents an aspect of Kemal’ s romantic approach to the problem of Modernity in Ottoman society. In this work, Kemal used an allegorical narrative to introduce the concept of “ Hü rriyet” (freedom) to a traditional society and to explain his patriotic ideas about the critical situation of his homeland. A critical examination of this work might be helpful to understand some of the challenges that modernist thinkers such as Namı k Kemal should deal with. Meanwhile, it could help us to achieve a better understanding of the thought of a prominent thinker who played a crucial role in the process of Ottoman modernization.
