This book combines contemporary discussions on modernity with the
history of the Muslim world. From a heuristic perspective, it is
sketching out a framework for a global sociology of modernity. This
framework attempts to accommodate a core assumption of classical
modernization theory - the global nature of modernity - with the
pluralistic perspective of the rise of a multiplicity of
historically concrete forms of modernities. It tries to reconcile a
universalistic concept of modernity with the fact of modernity's
multiple historical realizations. At the same time, this discussion
of contemporary social theory puts forward a critique of the still
so conveniently applied equation of modernization with
Westernization. In empirical terms, the book substantiates this
critique in drawing its exemplary illustrations from the historical
experience of Muslim peoples. Bringing Muslim history and
discussions in social theory together, this book represents a
synthesis of research efforts in sociology and Islamic studies.
