Book Durkheim on Religion

Download or read book Durkheim on Religion written by Emile Durkheim and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous French sociologist Emile Durkheim is universally recognised as one of the founding fathers of sociology as an academic discipline. He wrote on the division of labour, methodology, suicide and education, but his most prolific and influential works were his writings on religion, which culminated in his controversial book The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life. Although his influence continued long after his death in 1917, this is the first book to provide a detailed look at the whole of his work in the field of religion. Durkheim on Religion is a selection of readings from Durkheim's writings on religion, presented in order of original publication, ranging from early reviews to articles and extracts from his books. Also included are detailed bibliographies and abstracts together with contributions by such writers as Van Gennep, Goldenweiser and Stanner. This book will be invaluable to those studying sociology and anthropology, but will also be of interest to those studying the history or philosophy of religion, as well as to anyone with an interest in Durkheim.

Book Religion  Belief and Unbelief

Download or read book Religion Belief and Unbelief written by Antoon Vergote and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1996 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses attention on the central elements of human religious existence. Vergote's primary aim and viewpoint are clear: to examine empirically and to interpret dynamically the psychological factors at work in the field of religion. Vergote consistently adheres to the position that psychology is neither philosophy nor theology and that its task is not to explain religion. In this work he situates religion as a cultural fact and studies how persons orient themselves to it, positively and/or negatively. Rather than emphasise and juxtapose belief and unbelief as alternative positions, he sees them as threads of experiences interwoven throughout the human existence of persons and institutions. In this context he studies motivations and their ambivalences, religious experiences and their ambiguities, conflicts between religious belief and unbelief, and the various expressions and practices of religion.

Book Religion  Law and Learning in Classical Islam

Download or read book Religion Law and Learning in Classical Islam written by George Makdisi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second selection of articles by George Makdisi concentrates on the schools of religious thought and legal learning in the medieval Islamic world and their defence of ’orthodoxy’. The author aims to review and re-assess the implications of the conflict between, first, the ’rationalist’ and the ’traditional’ theologians (the one accepting the influence of Greek philosophy, the other rejecting it), and then between one of these traditionalist schools - the Hanbali school of law - and Sufi mysticism. One of the most important consequences of the first of these confrontations, he contends, was the emergence of the schools of law as the guardians of the faith and theological orthodoxy. The final section of the book also looks at the structure of legal learning, at the institutions themselves, their organization and the principles upon which they operated. As well as entering the debate over the existence of corporations and guilds of law in classical Islam - maintaining that they did exist - these articles further suggest links between such institutions and the evolution of universities in the medieval West, and the Inns of Court in England, and discuss the Islamic and Arabic contribution to the concepts of academic amd intellectual freedom and to the development of scholasticism and humanism. Cette deuxième sélection d'articles de George Makdisi se concentre sur les écoles de pensée religieuse et d'apprentissage juridique dans le monde islamique médiéval et leur défense de « l'orthodoxie ». L'auteur entend passer en revue et réévaluer les implications du conflit entre d'abord les théologiens « rationalistes » et « traditionnels » (l'un acceptant l'influence de la philosophie grecque, l'autre la rejetant), puis entre l'un d'eux écoles traditionalistes - l'école de droit Hanbali - et le mysticisme soufi. L'une des conséquences les plus importantes de la première de ces confrontations, soutient-il, a été l'émergence des écoles de droit en tant que gardiennes de la foi et de l'orthodoxie théologique. La dernière section du livre examine également la structure de l'apprentissage juridique, les institutions elles-mêmes, leur organisation et les principes sur lesquels elles fonctionnent. En plus d'entrer dans le débat sur l'existence des corporations et des guildes de la loi dans l'Islam classique - maintenant qu'elles existaient - ces articles suggèrent en outre des liens entre de telles institutions et l'évolution des universités dans l'Occident médiéval, et les Inns of Court en Angleterre. , et discuter de la contribution islamique et arabe aux concepts de liberté académique et intellectuelle et au développement de la scolastique et de l'humanisme.
