Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı Osmanlı Devleti’nde Tanzimat ve Islahat dönemleri ile I. Meşrutiyet döneminde yaşamış eğitimci, sefir ve bürokrat Ahmet Kemal Paşa’nın (1808-1887) hayatı hakkında bilgi vermektir. Bu amaçla başta Osmanlı arşivi olmak üzere birçok arşiv ve kütüphane kataloğu taranarak elde edilen dokümanlar analiz edilmiştir. Paşa’nın eğitimci yönünün ön planda tutulduğu bu çalışma esnasında ulaşılan ve kronolojik olarak sıraya konulan verilerin bir kısmı, Ahmed Kemal Paşa hakkında önceden yazılmış kısa yazıların genişletilmiş ve düzeltilmiş halidir. Yetişme tarzından yaptığı görevlere, ailesinden kişisel özelliklere farklı yönlerinin ortaya konduğu çalışmada Türk eğitim sisteminin bugününü de etkileyen rolleriyle Paşa’nın profili etraflıca tasvir edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada ortaya konulanlar, Ahmed Kemal Paşa hakkında bilimsel ve kapsamlı bir biyografinin altyapısı olarak nitelendirilebilir.
Highlights
Biography studies, which are claimed to be discredited by some authors today (Noumann, 2006, p.273), have a long history of being in demand for at least three centuries, especially in Europe. Carlyle (2004) described the personalities who would be the subject of the biography as "people who add value to life" and stated that “there would be no life without the Great Men, otherwise it would be lived in a world sprinkled with dead soil”
