Scope
Aims, scope and focus
In the current era, the importance of the fundamental role of the humanities and social sciences in realizing a coherent and civilization-building intellectual system and their application in social control and development in Islamic societies is more clear and recognizable than ever before. In addition, research into the foundations of these sciences, their criticism and evaluation, efforts to extract Islamic foundations and perspectives in the field of humanities, and in this regard, their Islamization and localization play a significant role and necessity. For this purpose, the most important and fundamental step is to present, examine, and criticize the foundations, perspectives, and theories of these sciences and to present theoretical frameworks that have the necessary and sufficient coordination with our cultural and religious foundations. Therefore, conducting fundamental, developmental, and applied research in the field of social sciences and their relations with religion, and evaluating and examining existing schools of thought in this field, are among the goals and missions of the quarterly journal "Islam and Social Sciences." The journal scopes include but are not restricted to, the following areas: Sociology of religion, Islamic sociology and Sociology of Islam; Social philosophy: in the Quran, Scripture and other religious texts and Sunnah (tradition), in the views of Muslim scholars and comparison of different attitudes and approaches; Philosophy of social sciences: In Islamic or other religious sourses ( A diverse range of perspectives from convergence to divergence); Methodology of social sciences: (review of their function and their role in Islamic or religious social sciences); Social considerations and reflections of Muslim scholars: (social issues and strategic theories, theories and areas of sociology including sociology of religion, sociology of knowledge, historical sociology, cultural sociology); Religious theorizing (inferred from Islamic resources) on social issues; Reviewing and comparing social religious propositions of different religions; Religious-Islamic sociology (subject, methods, theories, analysis and critique of approaches, goals and application, the relation of Islamic sociology with prevailing paradigms in sociology, the role and application of Islamic/religious sociology in Muslim and non-Muslim communities).
