The articles included in this "Yearbook of the Sociology of
Islam" focus 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 civilizations, while others are more
concerned with 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 have 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
include Said Arjomand, Shmuel N. Eisenstadt, Josef van Ess and Raif
G. Khoury.
Each of the editors are sociologists who have widely published
on related issues.
