Özet:

The novel Felâtun Mr. and Râkım Efendi comes to us as one of the works that Ahmet Mithat Efendi wrote in his time in the name of reflecting his ideas in the East-West issue, which is one of the main problems of the Turkish novel. Ahmet Mithat Efendi, while reflecting the ideal in this work, put the fundamental ground on the absoluteity and consistency of Islamic epistemology to tradition. The writer, who tries to show that the ideal will be achieved by the preservation of the epistemological values that exist rather than a leaving and searching, gives the reader the idea that this situation will bring a positive result in the West. In this direction, it is possible to say that Ahmet Mithat Efendi has placed the Roman Ziklas family and Josephino and even Polini, which represents the direction of the material hole of the West. The author, as a result of this fiction, assesses the consequences of the false Westernization, with devotion to tradition and Islamic epistemology, and this situation creates a Western perception formed from a different perspective in the novel. In this study, the way of use of Ahmet Mithat Efendi, the ideal type of Râkım Efendi and the self-released type of Felâtun Mr. through devotion to Islamic epistemology and the way of this devotion was tried to be shown by the Westerns.
