| الملخص: | The emergence of the scientific study of religion as an alternative to the theological
and philosophical approaches was advanced by a number of prominent scholars and
figures. Among them were Edward B. Tylor (1832-1917) and James G. Frazer (1854-
1941) in the anthropology of religion, Max Weber (1864-1920) and Emile Durkheim
(1858-1917) in the sociology of religion, and William James (1842-1910) and
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) in the psychology of religion. Nevertheless, Clifford
Geertz’s (1926-2006) modern study of religion presented an approach in the study of
religion that is quite different from his predecessors. While his predecessors look for
stable patterns in religious phenomena, Geertz looks for the meanings that inform the
worldview and ethos that construct these phenomena. This research will look at
Geertz’s conceptual and methodological frameworks and see how these were applied
into his study of religion, Islam in particular. This research will attempt to gauge the
feasibility of Geertz’s study of religion for its practical application in case studies of
particular religions. |
