Asadi Koran: a New History of Sociology

Publisher: Writer's Club Press, 2001History of sociology from the Koran point of view."The Koran presents itself as a guide with evidence and a criterion (Koran 2:185) from the maker of all things, to humankind, the bearer of Gods trust on earth and maintainers of the balance (Koran 55:7-9) that God created. However, in turning away from that trust and falling short of the balance and wasting by excess, humanity has created a multitude of social problems, problems that harm society in general and not only those who are directly responsible for them (Koran 8:25). It is not mystical determinism but social determinism that the Koran talks about.Consistent with this view, the Koran frequently mentions a path [Sabeel in Arabic] of various social actions leading to ends that are harmful [or beneficial].This is somewhat similar to "path analysis" used by modern sociologists"ISBN 0-595-20896-7
