focused on two perspectives: Some link the comparative analysis of Islam to ongoing debates on the Axial Age and its role in the formation of major civilizational complexes, while others are more concerned with the historical constellations and sources involved in the formation of Islam as a religion and a civilization. More than any other particular line of inquiry, new historical and sociological approaches to the Axial Age revived the idea of comparative civilizational analysis and channeled it into more specific projects. A closer look at the very problematic place of Islam in this context will help to clarify questions about the Axial version of civilizational theory as well as issues in Islamic studies and sociological approaches to modern Islam. Contributors among others: Said Arjomand, Shmuel N. Eisenstadt, Josef van Ess and Raif G. Khoury. |
»[Es] ist zu vermerken, dass vergleichende historische Zivilisationsforschung, aufgrund der Spezialisierung der jeweiligen Fachgebiete, nicht gerade ein überrepräsentiertes Terrain darstellt. Allein deshalb beinhaltet dieser Band jede Menge neue Denkanstöße und interessante Blickwinkel für an der Materie Interessierte.« Philipp Bruckmayr, DAVO Nachrichten, 7 (2008) »Auch das 7. Jahrbuch für die Soziologie des Islams vereinigt Beiträge von Autoren, die sich von sehr unterschiedlichen Ausgangspunkten ausgehend in eine aktuelle Debatte einmischen. Je nach dem theoretischen und wissenschaftlich-praktischen Standpunkt wird der Leser die Beiträge mit unterschiedlicher Zustimmung, aber stets mit Interesse lesen.« Peter Heine, Anthropos, 103/1 (2008) »Diejenigen, die sich auf eine genaue Lektüre einlassen, werden je nach Interesse in unterschiedlichem Umfang Anregungen und Anstöße aus diesem Band mitnehmen können, besonders was die frühe Zeit des Islam betrifft.« Astrid Meier, www.geschichte-transnational/clio-online.net, 15.02.2008 |
