Abstract

At the turn of the twentieth century, Greek jurists insisted that the Ottoman Empire was legally pluralistic. While one jurist acknowledged the Sultan's ‘political purpose' in respecting the Greeks' privileges, another denied Muslims any agency free from Sharia. The alleged incommensurability between the Christian and Islamic law was their common agenda. Greek historians, on the other hand, saw the privileges as the Turks’ sign of goodwill, and emphasized the civilizational gap between the Catholic West and Ottoman East. Being a normative expression rather than a neutral description, legal pluralism functioned as a method of neglecting the Muslim quest for legal unity.

法律多元化是为了谁?奥斯曼法律，希腊法学家和宗教特权

在二十世纪之交，希腊法学家坚持认为奥斯曼帝国在法律上是多元的。虽然一位法学家承认苏丹尊重希腊人特权的“政治目的”，但另一位法学家否认穆斯林有任何不受伊斯兰教法约束的机构。基督教和伊斯兰教法之间所谓的不可通约性是他们的共同议程。另一方面，希腊历史学家将特权视为土耳其人善意的标志，并强调天主教西方和奥斯曼帝国东方之间的文明差距。作为一种规范的表达而非中立的描述，法律多元主义作为一种忽视穆斯林对法律统一的追求的方法发挥了作用。
