Biyografi

Prof. Dr. İlber Ortaylı, tarihi sevdiren adam olarak biliniyor. Açıklayan, soran, sorgulayan bakış açısı, bazen biraz sivri dili ve doyum olmaz anekdotlarıyla toplantı, seminer ve konferanslarda farklı hedef kitleleri kucaklıyor.

İlber Ortaylı, Ankara Üniversitesi Siyasal Bilgiler Fakültesi’ni ve Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi’nin tarih bölümünü bitirdi. Halil İnalcık, Mümtaz Soysal, Seha Meray gibi önemli isimlerin öğrencisi oldu. Viyana Üniversitesi Slavistik ve Orientalistik Bölümü’nde eğitim gördü.

Tarihe farklı bir bakış

Tarihe ve tarihteki olaylara farklı bir perspektiften bakmanın yanı sıra tarihten alınacak derslerle günümüzü değerlendiren ve öngörüleriyle düşündüren Ortaylı, sadece tarihi değil bugünü ve geleceği de konuşuyor. Son kitabı ‘Bir Ömür Nasıl Yaşanır’da insanların hayatlarını en iyi nasıl değerlendirebileceğine dair görüşlerini aktarıyor.

“Yaşadıkları insanın yüzüne yansır” diyen Ortaylı, “Bir insan dingin yaşadıysa, iş yaptıysa, kötülükten kaçındıysa onun verdiği huzurla yüzü bir şekil alır. İnsanın yüzünü bir kitap gibi okuyabilirsiniz. İfadeniz bomboşsa hiçbir şey yaşamadığınız fark edilir. Bundan kurtulmak mümkündür; yaşayın, monotonluktan uzaklaşın, gezin, görün, keşfedin, başkalarıyla ilgilenin, okuyun, sevin. Bunları dolu dolu yapın ki izleri yüzünüze yansısın. Yüzünüz ifadesiz kalmasın.” Diyor.
