- Abstract
Erol Güngör is a prosperous social scientist who scrutinizes significant works as well as in his own field of study, on macro issues such as history, civilization, social change, modernization, language, art, ethics, ideology and religion, especially within a polarized intellectual scene, from a nationalist point of view. This paper tries to provide a brief description of the point of view and the way Güngör employs in elaborating the social issues in general and underlines his contribution to the sociology of religion in particular. In spite of the fact that Güngör was not officially a “sociologist of religion”, his significant works, İslâm'ın Bugünkü Meseleleri (The Contemporary Problems of Islam) and İslâm Tasavvufunun Meseleleri (The Problems of Islamic Mysticism/ Sufism) enable us to count Güngör among those contributing the sociology of religion. Given the social and political circumstances Güngör lived, his evaluations and considerations about religion are seen notably original and significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
