Is it possible for science to exist without theory? This basic question animates Harun Küçük’s new book, Science without Leisure. For Küçük, the answer is no, and the Ottoman Empire provides an instructive example of what happens when scientific practice exists in a vacuum of theory. Putting a new twist on some of the familiar narratives regarding science in the Ottoman Empire during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Küçük argues that many Ottoman subjects practiced the natural sciences but the missing ingredient was theory. This lack of theory in turn emerged because the scholars in the madrasa were being paid too little. They lacked the “leisure” afforded by affluence to devote themselves to theory and thus became ignorant, law-obsessed, and, ultimately, insignificant. In this moment of intellectual and economic decline, the earlier tradition of Islamic science was pushed aside by new “practical naturalists,” who came to dominate the social field of science. Yet, the practical naturalism of the Ottomans never came to resemble modern, or rather early modern, science in Europe because it lacked a connection to theory.
没有理论,科学有可能存在吗?这个基本问题激发了Harun k的新书《没有闲暇的科学》(Science without Leisure)。对于k k来说,答案是否定的,奥斯曼帝国提供了一个有益的例子,说明科学实践存在于理论真空中会发生什么。在17世纪和18世纪奥斯曼帝国关于科学的一些熟悉的叙述中,k k提出了一个新的转折,认为许多奥斯曼臣民实践自然科学,但缺少的成分是理论。这种缺乏理论的现象反过来又出现了,因为伊斯兰学校的学者们得到的报酬太少了。他们缺乏富裕所提供的“闲暇时间”来投身于理论,因此变得无知、痴迷于法律,最终变得无足轻重。在这个智力和经济衰退的时刻,早期的伊斯兰科学传统被新的“实用自然主义者”推到一边,他们开始主宰科学的社会领域。然而,奥斯曼人的实用自然主义从来没有像现代,或者更确切地说,近代早期的欧洲科学一样,因为它缺乏与理论的联系。
