Social science(s) of religion(s) and the future of religious studies: some Methodological and theoretical considerationsa
Seyyed-Mahmoud Nejati Hosseini (Khorasani)b
ABSTRACT
1
The studies of science and religion are still the most important stream of thought in the world of modernity. With the joining of social sciences to this stream, the routine and process of thinking in science and especially religion, the socio-cultural characteristic of the studies of religion has been strengthened.
2
Therefore, now in the light of the social sciences of religions, We have a better, more accurate and more appropriate understanding of the nature of the historical development of religion, the social mechanism of religiosity, the processes of cultural development of religiosity and secularism, and finally the sinusoidal curve of religious/social affairs in the background of modern society and culture.
3
In this regard and despite the significant volume of specialized literature in “social sciences of religions’ namely: history of religions, archeology of religion, historical and cultural geography of religions, anthropology and ethnology of religion, social psychology of religion, politics of religion, religious law, cultural studies.
4
Everyday Religion and Sociology of Religion but still two important issues which are of "epistemology" and "philosophical science" are worthy of attention and discussion.
5
(1)The first issue: What and how the theoretical-methodical interaction is in the social sciences of religions, among the knowledge that make up these sciences, as described above, and its considerations, requirements, and challenges.
(2)The second issue: what and how the theoretical-methodical interaction from the extra-discursive position of the social sciences of religions, between these sciences and philosophy-theology-science :social philosophical theology ,political philosophical theology, cultural philosophical theology, multicultural theology and cultural vision, Social philosophy of religion, political philosophy of religion, socio-cultural biology of religion and its considerations, requirements and challenges.
6
In fact, the nature and content of these two issues and the nature of the specialized discussions that need to be done are within the scope of "social sciences of religions, the future of religious studies, and related methodological and theoretical considerations".
7
For this important reason from the sociological point of view: in modernity and in the course of mediatization and globalization, as well as the formation of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary currents, as well as the complexity of the reflection of religious texts in social and cultural contexts and the formation of religious and quasi-religious cultures and Anti-religion and neo-religion to secularism and secularism, as well as new social religious movements and neo-spiritualisms; the world of religion has changed a lot and seems to be constantly changing.
8
Therefore, these reflections require scientific rereading and scientific rethinking in the studies of religion by it is a social science of religions in a renewed, transformed, updated and dynamic form
In this sense, the detailed question of the article is: "What kind of methodological and theoretical positions should a modernized and dynamic social science of religions possess intellectual and social cultural power?” How should inter-discourse and extra-discourse interactions in these sciences take place in the text of "Religion Studies" and "Religion Science?’’.
9
The idea of the article to provide a suitable analytical framework to answer this question is that: "We need a multi-knowledge, multi-method, multi-theory, multi-positional and two-discourse integrated research program for the social sciences of religions". The idea is also done using the "textual study" method.
Key words
Social sciences of religions; religious studies; religion studies; culture of modernity; globalization; localization; glocalization ; mediatization.
