Mini-ep. What if the Good Old Days were not all good? (Focus: Turkey: The Ottoman Empire by Halil İnalcık)
01/28/20 • 18 min
On this journey, I question the way we look at Islamic history.
Do we glorify past nations too much? - What can we learn from being more mature about our discussions around Islamic history? - What implications could this have for our approach to politics and our own role in the world today?
Book in focus: The Ottoman Empire: The Classical Period - 1300-1600 by Halil İnalcık (Turkey).
