Summary

This chapter discusses the Ottoman sphere in relationship to anti-Western, anti-materialist thought as it evolved in various locations throughout the nineteenth century. Unlike the eloquent and persuasive writings of authors such as Dostoevsky, Ottoman texts turning against the West are written in a vain of disappointment that the West did not keep its part of a bargain or failed to honor the Ottomans' achievements, rather than an intellectual challenge to modernity.
