Historical Developments and Theoretical Approaches in Sociology - Volume I

Historical Developments and Theoretical Approaches in Sociology in two volumes is a component of Encyclopedia of Social Sciences and Humanities in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty Encyclopedias. Sociology is one of several social science disciplines and smaller bodies of knowledge which seeks to understand the patterns in social life. There is a broad congruence between the objective configurations of social life and the components of the disciplines studying them, the body of sociological knowledge is socially constructed and the pathways to its gaining of knowledge influenced by a variety of factors. Moreover, since social life is ever-changing, sociology often has to scramble to catch-up with the changing social world. This work is built up around four broad topics, the first providing important shared contextual material and then followed by three broad levels of social analysis: with each of these four parts containing a number of chapters with more specific and in-depth information. The theme essay provides a general introduction and overview of the theme as a whole. In total, the work holds 40 contributions written by a selection of many international renowned specialists from 12 countries. It was important to obtain a wide range of viewpoints giving the ways in which social issues arise quite differently in a range of countries. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College Students Educators, Professional Practitioners, Research Personnel and Policy Analysts, Managers, and Decision Makers, NGOs and GOs.

Rekonstruksi Sejarah al-Quran

Buku ini berupaya merekonstruksi perjalanan historis al-Quran yang diharapkan dapat bertahan terhadap kritik sejarah sekaligus bisa berhadapan dengan berbagai prasangka “ilmiah” Barat. Masalah-masalah utama dalam pewahyuan al-Quran serta pengumpulan dan stabilisasi teksnya menjadi fokus kajian dalam buku ini. Dengan demikian, obyek studi ini mencakup keseluruhan etape perjalanan kesejarahan al-Quran, dan hasilnya diharapkan memberikan kontribusi signifikan di bidang sejarah kitab suci kaum Muslim. Sesuai dengan tujuan utamanya, penulis buku ini berpegang ketat pada pendekatan sejarah. Namun, karena beberapa aspek dari sejarah melibatkan intensitas pemahaman keagamaan, maka interpretasi yang dilakukan tidak bersifat historis semata, melainkan juga bersifat islami. Data kesejarahan tidak diperlakukan sebagai sekadar data mati untuk dianalisis, tetapi sebagai sesuatu yang memiliki implikasi religius bagi masa depan kaum Muslim dan kitab sucinya. Karena itu, buku ini juga bersifat preskriptif dan diharapkan bisa menyumbangkan perspektif-perspektif baru dan segar dalam studi-studi al-Quran.

Nama alternatif lain yang digunakan untuk al-Quran, menurut mayoritas sarjana
Muslim, adalah furqan (QU: *). Para mufassir Muslim berupaya mengaitkan
istilah ini dengan kata kerja faraga, “diskriminasi, memisahkan, membedakan,”
dan menjelaskannya memiliki makna teologis “pembeda antara yang hak dan
batil.” Namun, makna semacam ini barangkali tidak dapat ditemukan dalam
penggunaan kata furqan oleh al-Quran. Dalam sejumlah konteks di mana kata
furqan dikaitkan ...
