Abstract:

The author tries to study, understand and understand the Islamic sociology in the sociology of Baykan Sezer, which is described as a native sociologist in his article. It can be said that Sezer is a sociologist who tries to build a sociology that is unique to Turkey with his indigenous sociology understanding and the religion is also approaching in accordance with his respective sociology understanding. One of Sezer’s most important research problems is religion as a social fact. According to Caesar, religion, societies and social reality are one of the most important elements of understanding correctly. Caesar’s point of view is that this is because it is an expression of religion, societies and social life. As it is clear, in the sociology of Caesar, religion acquires existence as the identity of society and finds the body as the means of the differentiation of societies from each other. In this case, in the Islamic sociology of Caesar, Islamic religion is an expression of the identity of Muslim communities, their differences and differences from other communities. In this framework, Caesar talks about Western sociology and Turkish sociology and Turkish religious sociology. As Christianity is effective in Western sociology in the sociological approach of the sociologist Sezer, Islam must also be effective in Turkish sociology. In this case, we can talk about an Islamic sociology in Caesar.

Abstract:

In his article the author tries to examine, understand and give the meaning the sociology of Islam in the sociology of Baykan Sezer, who is described as the domestic sociologist, from a sociological perspective on religion. It can be said that Sezer is a sociologist who tries to build a sociology specific to Turkey with his understanding of domestic sociology and also approaches religion in accordance with this sociology. One of Sezer’s major research problems is religion as a social phenomenon. According to Sezer, religion is one of the most important elements to understand societies and social reality correctly. In Sezer's perspective, the reason for this is that religion is an expression of societies and social life. As it is understood, in Sezer's sociology, religion emerges as the identity of the society and comes into being as a means of differentiation of societies from each other. In this case, in Sezer's sociology of Islam, the religion of Islam is an expression of the identity of Muslim societies, their differences and differentiations from other societies. Sezer, in this frame, speaks of Western sociology and Turkish sociology and Turkish sociology of religion. In the sociological approach of the sociologist Sezer, since Christianity is influental in Western sociology, Islam must be efficient in Turkish sociology. In this case, a sociology of Islam can be mentioned in Sezer.
