From the Terror of the World to the Sick Man of Europe sheds new light on the hotly debated
issue of Orientalism by looking at the European images of the Ottoman Empire and society over
three centuries. Through a careful examination of the European intellectual discourse  this

eighteenth century and clearly demonstrates that the Age of Reason has not rendered reasonable
images of the Turks. Indeed  once inspiring awe  the European opinion of Ottomans was held in
contempt during this period.
