In the Ottoman Empire, publication about European scholarship was deliberately limited by the ulama. What cultural context explains the reason for this limitation?

Answer: Ottoman life was imbued with Islam. Therefore both science and culture were felt by religion.

Explanation:

All spheres of Ottoman society were imbued with religion. Islam had a significant impact on the daily activities of Ottoman life. The Ottomans had their course of development and were restricted to their progress without the influence of the West. This was the systematic policy of the ruling structures in the country, and the ulema (Ottoman intellectuals) were in charge of cultural and scientific development in the empire. Due to the strong influence of Islam, which conflicts with the religious postulates of the West, the impact of the Christian West has been limited.
