This article focuses on the intricate nature of the science of tafsir. It discusses the function of tafsir within the framework of identifying the principles of tafsir methodology and tafsir narrations. The book’s contribution to the science of tafsir is emphasized by underlining that it aims to provide essential details for understanding and addressing the subject and comparing classical and modern understandings of tafsir. In addition, the scientific value of tafsir and its relationship with other Islamic sciences is examined. The work primarily focuses on identifying and analyzing the discussions regarding the nature of tafsir within Islamic thought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, Inger Furseth and Pål Repstad's book titled Contemporary Sociologists' Views of Society and Religion has been evaluated. Since the aim is to evaluate the book, it is not analysed in detail about the sociologists; it is focused on which conceptual tools of the theorists come to the fore and what kind of contributions they will make to the studies that will examine religious life. In this context, the evaluation text started by criticising the relationship of sociology and sociology of religion with sub-disciplines. Because it is stated by the authors that the approach aiming at the separation of sub-disciplines will lead to an isolated intellectual life. For this reason, it is emphasised in the study that the work is an introductory book that deals with contemporary theorists who open the door to the understanding of social science as a whole. The book underlines the dialectical relationship between life and thought by including chapters examining the biographical and intellectual tradition of ten contemporary sociologists. The authors emphasise that the phenomenon of religion has not been ignored in contemporary sociology, and discuss how studies have been conducted using the conceptual tools of leading theories. This sets an example for new research. In addition, the recommendations given for possible studies that will examine religious life using these conceptual tools serve as a guide for researchers.

Günümüz Türk akademisinde kitap değerlendirmeleri önemli bir yere sahip olmaya başladı. Yazarların eleştiri veya takdirlerinin eserin niteliğine göre şekillendiği bu tarz yazılarda tarafsız olabilmek oldukça mühim bir mevzudur. Yakın bir süreçte Oku Okut Yayınları tarafından açık erişimle okuyucuya sunulan Prof. Dr. Muammer İskenderoğlu'nun yazarı olduğu "Kitap Değerlendirmesi Nasıl Yazılır?" adındaki eser, kitap değerlendirmelerinde yol gösterici bir rol üstleneceğini vaat etmektedir. Bu konudaki değerlendirme ilim camiasının takdirine bırakılmakla beraber bu yazı, bahsi geçen kitabın niteliğini ele almaktan ziyade 2. Bölümünün (Örnek Değerlendirme Yazıları) 3. Başlığında (Ömer Faruk Erdoğan Felek’in Felsefesi) şahsıma ve eserlerime yapılan eleştirileri değerlendirecektir.

The work that is the subject of this evaluation is written by a Japanese anthropologist, Prof. Dr. Noriko Nakayama, a faculty member at the Department of International Relations, Chubu University, located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Her book is based on the field study conducted by herself in Zonguldak-Ereğli between June 1992 and June 1993. Although this article is written as an evaluation of the book written by Noriko Nakayama, it also tries to discuss the methodological advantages of carrying out a fieldwork in a foreign environment, the unique potential of anthropological insight to reveal the realities of a society through field research by participant observation and the futility of adapting foreign concepts to local contexts which always ends up distorting the realities of the society under scrutiny.

Book reviews have gained significant importance in contemporary Turkish academia. It is important to be impartial in such articles, where the criticism or appreciation of the authors is shaped according to the quality of the work. Recently, the open-access book titled "How to Write a Book Review", authored by Prof. Dr. Muammer İskenderoğlu that has been released by Oku Okut Publications promises to serve as a guiding tool for book reviews. While leaving the overall evaluation of this book to the academic community, this essay will focus on analyzing the criticisms directed towards me and my works in the third heading (Ömer Faruk Erdoğan. The Philosophy of the Celestial) of the second chapter (Sample Review Articles) ratherthan discussing the quality of the book in question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ahmed El Shamsy tarafından kaleme alınmış olan kitap; Şâfiîliğin ortaya çıkış serüvenini, mezhepleşmesini ve Şâfiîler dışındaki gruplara olan etkilerini incelemektedir. İslami ilimlerin ortaya çıkışı, sözlü geleneğin yazılı geleneğe aktarılma süreci ve İslam hukuku; yazarın üzerinde çalıştığı temel alanlardır. Halen Chicago Üniversitesinde dersler vermekte olan yazarın şu isimle yayımlanmış bir kitabı daha vardır: “Rediscovering the Islamic Classics: How Editors and Print Culture Transformed an Intellectual Tradition”. Yazara göre İmam Şâfiî’nin (ö. 204/820) ortaya koyduğu metodolojik yaklaşım, Kuran ve sünnet vahyinin birer kanun metni gibi algılanmalarına ve yorumlanmalarına giden yolu açmıştır. Bu sürecin incelenmesi, Şâfiî fıkhının klasik şeklini nasıl aldığı sorusuna da cevap teşkil etmektedir. Bu yazıda Ahmed El Shamsy’nin söz konusu eseri incelenecektir.

İslâm hukuku alanında çalışmalarıyla tanınan ve hâlihazırda Columbia Üniversitesinde profesör olarak görev yapan Wael B. Hallaq'ın altı makalesinin tercümesi İslâm Huku-kuna Entelektüel Bakış adıyla 2020 yılında derlenmiştir. Uzun zamandan beri uzmanlık alanında verdiği yoğun ürünlerle dikkatleri üzerine çeken Hallaq, eserleri ve düşünce-leri hesaba katılmadan İslâm hukuku alanında uluslararası düzeyde araştırma yapıla-bilmesi pek mümkün olmayacak şahsiyetlerden biri haline gelmiştir. Wael B. Hallaq’ın çalışmalarının çoğu fıkıh usulü alanındadır ve söz konusu derlemenin önsözünde be-lirttiği üzere yazılarında Oryantalist önyargıları ve hataları düzeltmeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu çalışmaları kaleme almaya başladığı sıralarda Batıda İslâm hukuku ile ilgili ileri sürülen tezler ile karşılaşmış ve bu durum onun akademik çalışmalarında bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. Bu yazımızda Hallaq’ın makalelerinin derlenmesiyle oluşturulan “İslâm Hukukuna Entelektüel Bakış” adlı eserin incelemesini yapacağız.

In this study, we examine the book written by Reyhan Keleş, which is about the mi'raj (works dealing with the ascension of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to the heavens). Mi'rajiyyas are among the religious genres within the scope of Turkish Islamic literature. Although Turkish Islamic literature is a vast field of study, the author restricts her study to diwan poetry (Ottoman Poetry) and eulogy poetry. The subject of mi'raj (ascension) has been written in several types of poetry and even prose works, and the author's focus and investigation on it both as a religious-literary genre and eulogy poetry enables a thorough investigation of the entire topic. The number of its pages adds up to 725, therefore it is rather a comprehensive work, which offers the interested researchers a significant contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper intends to serve multiple purposes. Although the paper is mainly a review of the book titled Provincial Universities: AK Party's Back Campus, it aims to make a small contribution to the relevant parties to seriously consider the different dimensions of the problematics of quality vs quantity. On the other hand, the intention to show that book reviews are not just a type of publication in which the contents of the books are conveyed to the reader has led to the emergence of this text. In this context, creating a course material on book reviews for the course called Scholarly Communication, which it has been taught at undergraduate and graduate levels for many years, is among the motivations of the paper. The selection of Information World as the publication journal should be accepted as part of the intention to present the general outlook of the book reviews in this journal, and to show potentially relevant parties how the university and research phenomena have been undermined over time. In the paper, the parts related to university libraries are also shared within the framework of the book contents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sibawayh (d. 180/796), one of the pioneers of the Basra School of linguistics, is the author of the first voluminous work on Arabic grammar that has reached the present day. Sîbawayh did not only give place to his own views in this book called al-Kitâb. He also included the views of important linguists such as her teacher Halil b. Ahmed (d. 175/791) and Yunus b. Habib (d. 182/798). Additionally, the work contains many direct and indirect quotations from Arab sources, making it an important archive of the Arabic language. Despite dying at a young age, Sibawayh was recognized as an authority in the field and his work was used as a textbook for centuries, directly or indirectly serving as a source for all books on Arabic grammar. Despite numerous studies being conducted on the author and his work since it was written, there has not been enough research done in Turkey on Sibawayh and his al-Kitab. This study focuses on the critical review of Prof. Dr. Ali Bulut's book Sibawayh, One of the Pioneers of Nahw. The book, which is divided into three sections, introduces Sibawayh's life and scholarly personality in the first section and introduces his work al-Kitab in the second and third sections. The book was published by IFAV Publications in 2022. Although it has aspects that are open to criticism, it is important in terms of giving place to tidy information about Sibawayh and his work. On the other hand, al-Kitâb is a valuable work worth reading as an introduction to the work in terms of guiding its readers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the turn of the millennium, audiovisual translation has developed into a well-established subfield of translation studies and has continued to grow in popularity. Publication of numerous books and essays, including Orelo (2004), Díaz-Cintas (2009) and Bogucki (2015), attests to its importance for contemporary scholarship. However, there is still much more to be done. This innovative collection of essays, organized by Michael Organ, is a valiant effort to bridge existing gaps in audiovisual translation. Apart from the editor's brief and panoramic introduction, the book is divided into seven chapters that cover topics such as audiovisual material in language teaching, interlingual subtitling, closed captions, folktales, censorship, translating puns and audiovisual translation in video games.

The translations of six articles of Wael B. Hallaq, who is known for his works in the field of Islamic law and is currently a professor at Columbia University, were compiled in 2020 in a book titled Intellectual Perspective on Islamic Law. Hallaq, who has drawn attention for a long time with the intense products he has given in his field of expertise, has become one of the personalities that it is not possible to conduct research at the international level in the field of Islamic law without taking into account his works and thoughts. Most of Wael B. Hallaq's works are in the field of jurisprudence and, he aimed to correct Orientalist prejudices and errors in his writings as he stated in the foreword of the compilation. When he started to write these studies, he encountered the theses about Islamic law in the West, and this was a turning point in his academic studies. In this article, we will examine the work called Intellectual Perspective on Islamic Law which compiles Hallaq's articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book written by Ahmed Al Shamsy examines the adventure of the emergence of Shafi’iism, its transformation into a school of Islamic law, and its effects on groups other than Shafi’i. The emergence of Islamic sciences, the process of transferring oral tradition to written tradition and Islamic law are the main areas on which the author works. The author, who is currently teaching at the University of Chicago, has another book published with the following title: “Rediscovering the Islamic Classics: How Edi)tors and Print Culture Transformed an Intellectual Tradition”. According to the author, the methodological approach introduced by Imam Shafi’i (d. 204/820) paved the way for the perception and interpretation of the Qur’an and the Sunnah revelation as a text of law. Studying this process also constitutes an answer to the question of how Shafi’i fiqh acquired its classical form. In this article, Ahmed Al Shamsy’s book will be examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the post-war period, the Western European demand for labor and shifts in populace flows in the post-colonial era have created a multicultural challenge for secularism, which has been an earnest political issue for a long time (p. 165). In recent years, several debates on multiculturalism and the viability of the multiculturalist approach have been ongoing, particularly in Western Europe (p. 97).

Werner Schiffauer's book, After Islamism: An Ethnography of The Islamic Community Milli Görüş (IGMG), was first published by Suhrkamp Verlag in 2010 and translated to Turkish in 2021. The book consists of seven chapters and aims to give an inside view of experiences and contribute to the ethnography of Islam in Germany. The author conducted several interviews with leading actors and members of the post-Islamist generation, participated in IGMG events, and carried out long-term research between 2000 and 2009. In addition, many documents such as newspapers, interviews, police transcripts, court records, parliamentary minutes, and reports from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) are used as objects of analysis.

This Land is Our Land: An Immigrant’s Manifesto is a timely and topical book that makes the case that migrants from the Global South, for several reasons, will continue to arrive in the Global North in numbers and provide much needed affordable and quality labour. At the same time, populists, right-wingers and nationalists will continue with their fear-mongering and scapegoating of immigrants and refugees in the receiving countries. To analyse this and investigate the critical political, economic, social and environmental factors that motivate the migrants to uproot and move abroad requires a balanced researcher to understand and explain the historical and colonial influence on human migration and someone sympathetic to the immigrants and the receiving societies.

The emergence of the concept of citizenship’s roots go back to ancient Greece and, in the modern sense, began with the French revolution. The notion of citizenship has expanded in terms of rights and liabilities and more people have been included through citizenship over time, following the developments in the political history of the world. In her book entitled Limits of Citizenship: Migrants and Postnational Membership in Europe, Yasemin Nuhoğlu Soysal (1994) covers the expansion of immigrant rights that once only belonged to citizens of certain countries. The book first published in 1994 consists of nine chapters.

Since 1961, worker export flows have been a prominent aspect in most European countries, notably Germany, in the case of Turkey (p. 111). These flows mainly occurred from less developed countries to developed countries (p. 13) and most foreign workers were temporarily imported with no promise of permanent settlement (p. 5). Exporting Workers: The Turkish Case by Suzanne Paine uses surveys and reports to examine the social and economic situations of workers who migrated to Germany as guest workers under the Gastarbeiterprogramm labor migration contract signed between Turkey and the Federal Republic of Germany. The book widely reviews the process of migration and contains aspects of before, during, and after their migration. The German Federal Labor Office and the Turkish State Planning Organization are the two main reference sources. This research aims to analyze the impact of the worker export contract between Turkey and Germany on Turkey’s economic development and on the life of migrant workers (p. 8). The research combines quantitative and qualitative analysis with coherent methodology throughout its five chapters.

Değerlendirmemize konu olan İbn-i Arabî: Kelami Tartışmalar, Sorular, Şüpheler başlıklı kitap altı bölümden oluşmaktadır: "İbn-i Arabî", “Vahdet-i Vücûd Felsefesi”, “İsâ Aleyhisselam ve Firavun’a Yaklaşım”, “Kadın, Din ve Cehenneme Yaklaşım”, “Fikir Kaynakları, Şiâ ve Felsefeyle İlişkisi”, “Tarih Seyrinde İbn-i Arabî ve Tenkidi”. Yazara göre sûfî-filozof olan İbn-i Arabî’yi anlamak için felsefî, tasavvufî ve kelamî okumalar yapmak gerekmektedir. Kendisinin de İbn-i Arabî’yi bu alanlardan okuduğunu fakat kendi çalışma alanıyla ilişkisi nedeniyle kelamî meseleler bağlamında İbn-i Arabî’yi değerlendirmeye çalıştığını belirtir.

Hakikat arayışında insanlığın gördüğü en büyük krizi yaşıyoruz. İskenderiye ve Bağdat kütüphanelerinin yakılması dahi yolumuza bu kadar büyük bir engel koyamamıştı. Hakikat, haz ile olan mücadelesini kaybetti. İnsanların büyük çoğunluğu bilinçli veya bilinçsiz olarak tercihini “mavi hap”tan yana kullandı. Hakikat davasında hâlâ ısrarcı olanlar için ise rotada kalmak giderek zorlaşıyor. Şimşek ve Yalı, bu krizin iki temel boyutunu şu sorularla ortaya koyuyorlar: “a) Gerçeği istiyor muyuz? b) İstiyorsak bu karmaşa içinde nasıl elde ederiz?” (s.173). Kitap, post-truth anlayışın hakikat arayışı için neden ve nasıl bir tehdit olduğunu, sosyal medya başta olmak üzere her türlü yayının bu anlayışın yayılmasındaki etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Kitapta yine bu duruma bir çözüm olarak tarihçilik becerilerinden istifade edilmesinin faydalı olabileceği tezi öne sürülmektedir.
