This book combines sociological theorising with studies on the
Middle East and Islam. The diversity of modernities that can be
observed in our world is linked to the claim of living in a global
modernity, in a world society. The book underpins this claim with
numerous excursions into Islamic history. It criticises the view
that modernisation can be equated with westernisation and considers
different projects of specifically Islamic modernities as integral
parts of world society. From this perspective, the study
contributes to the "provincialisation" of European history in
contemporary social scientific thought. Contrary to the theories of
postcolonialism associated with the call for the provincialisation
of Europe, however, this book adheres to essential traditions of
classical sociology. It thus aims to make a contribution to the
social theoretical discussion on modernity, which is empirically
underpinned with the help of data from the history of the Middle
East and Islam.
