‘Kalemin Dansı Göstergenin Oyunu Seküler Emperyalist Epistemoloji’ başlığını taşıyan ve Mısırlı Müslüman düşünür Abdülvahab M. el-Messiri tarafından kaleme alınan bu kitap, yazarın 1994-2006 yılları arasında modernite, sekülarizm, emperyalizm ve çağdaş Batı medeniyeti üzerine kaleme aldığı dört ayrı makalesinden oluşmaktadır. Geliştirdiği kavram setleriyle moderniteyi “kapsamlı sekülarizm”in bütün dünyaya ihraç edildiği bir süreç, postmoderniteyi ise onun bir alt ya da üst aşaması olarak tanımlayan Messiri, dünyanın nihai anlam ve değerlerle yeniden buluşturulmasına yönelik özgün ve öncü bir çabayı temsil etmektedir.

The question of why Islamic 'civilization' declined, and the theories proposed to provide an answer to that question constitute a significant topic of discussion within the field of Islamic studies. This paper focuses on one of the theories advanced to deal with this important question, a theory which claims that 'the all-embracing Islamic law was one of the primary causes behind Islamic civilization's decline and its inability to revive'. In an effort to scrutinize the integrity of this theory as it is presented by Saunders, the present work analyzes relevant literature. This paper finds that such a theory relies heavily on certain assumptions of 18th and 19th century Orientalists. Most importantly, it argues that such a theory is self-contradictory because if it was Islamic law that caused the decline of Islamic 'civilization,' it could have not allowed it to rise in the first place.

Although Jerusalem began its place in Jewish history with King David, it was believed that it was promised to Abraham as eternal property by God. In addition, the city was at the center of Jewish religious life as the temple was here. However, Jews always lived under the hegemony of other states after the Babylonian exile, except Hasmoneans period. In this context, it was discussed what they experienced when they were between the culture they lived in and their tradition in various periods and was pointed out different interpretations of Jerusalem in Jewish thought throughout history.

After the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, the term "civil state" has become popular among Islamist and secularist Arab scholars, and the debate on this term became more acute after recent changes in the Arab world during the past few years. In this article, I would like to present the most crucial elements of this state in Western and Arab thought, and specify the Islamic attitude towards it in order to get to the result that would analyze this concept and its position in the Islamic legal policy. Also, I will discuss this statement by clarifying the meaning of the state and its development in Western thought, and then review the most significant elements of the civil state, which have almost been agreed upon by researchers, to show where they agree or disagree in terms of the Islamic vision.

Israel is one of the disputed countries of the Middle East. These discussions are related to foundation process of the state of Israel and disputes regarding Israel-Palestine question as well as to the fact that Israel is the only Jewish state in the Middle East and in the world. Different formation process of Jewish people over centuries on the ground of faith and nationality as well as the confusing and disputed background of Zionism lead to a number of speculations regarding the state of Israel. Some of those speculations are over the perception that Israel is a religios state. This paper studies effects of Jewish references and religious organisations and groups in Israel over politics, public life, legal system and state policies. The findings reached here indicate that Israel is a semi-religious and semisecular a state. Actually the fact that Israeli political society is composed of groups with different cultural tendencies even if sharing a common fate makes such a hybrid system inevitable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the religious education as contemporary problem and desciribes the effects of secularism and pluralism in religious education. In recent years, religious education, was badly affected due to wrong interpretation of secularism and pluralism by moving of the cultural elements. Religious education are ineffective in point of create a new identity and in making sense of the world. At this point for religious education been advised two new educational models concept that based on 'transfer of knowledge' and 'the transformation of knowledge'. The approach of transfer’s information basic concept of student-centered and in this approach teachers are location transmitting information only. In understanding the transformation of knowledge fundamental aspects of the learning process is teaching the content can be transferred either knowledge, skills, values and norms is not the issue but rather these elements is converted to an intuitive basis for the behavior. The cultural elements and religious experience has an essential place in reflect of both understanding to the religious education. The formation of personal identity in religious education should include encouraging the attitude of the student's criticism and evaluation. This process of identity formation of students not understand that they identified with the thought system of teachers. Religious education must be clear; should not be prim, coercive and should give students the possible opportunity to engage in creative experimentation. In this way, religious education will play an active and successful role in the formation of individual identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The process of secularization has produced many issues that will be discussed in a great number of disciplines for a long time to come. In order for social science's range of interest and influence to be narrowed, especially for its inclination toward works focusing on Everyday Life, it has been necessary to wait for significant doubt toward modernity to appear in society. Together with the ripening of this doubt, the different goals and pre-suppositions at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as works dealing with Everyday Life, mutual conclusions have been reached implying that Everyday Life is a secular construction. The goal of this article is three fold; the first is to follow the trail of belief, the second is to investigate Everyday Life's secular foundations through an alternative conceptual framework, and the third is to discuss Everyday Life's theory of transformation. The converging points of such a discussion lie in the separation of religion and state, discussions on secularism, secularization and rationalization theories, and the literature on Everyday Life. An alternative reading of the relations between these concepts and theories will be performed, and in doing so, the actions and implementations used for transformation by Everyday Life (the concept of sta-tactic implementation) will be presented. As will be the focus of this article, Everyday Life's theory of transformation includes the current pattern of Everyday Life, the conditions for the existence and survival of this pattern, and finally, the concept of intention and being an actor in daily life through Everyday Life's transformation perspective. For this reason, discussion will be opened up regarding Islamism's being an active agent in Everyday Life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Turkey, there have been ongoing discussions on the following issues: The role of religion in social life; the relevance of modernization activities, which the government endeavours to actualize through its institutions, and religion; especially the extent that religious thought and lifestyle is affected from modernization activities as well as the extent that these areas affect modernization activities; or whether there is an interaction between religious thought and modernization; and the historical and sociological background of all the abovementioned. It is possible to say that these secularism-oriented discussions will continue to be on the agenda for a long time in Turkey. The discussions on secularism cover modernization and approaches and debates in the issue on the one hand, while it includes religion and the relevance and position of religion to modernization on the other hand. When the contemporary discussions in Turkey on secularism are considered, it is possible to mention Şerif Mardin and İsmail Kara as outstanding names. There are similarities in the approaches of these two intellectuals in certain issues on the subject as well as conflicts in some issues. In this study, moving from their works and the discussions they have been part of, the approaches of these two intellectuals on the issue is discussed and assessed. Furthermore, since Şerif Mardin has more studies to be examined within the context of our subject, more of his views are included in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
