Description
Summary:This paper attempts to analyze the debate of Islamization of knowledge in Malaysia. It will highlight the international networks which nurture such a debate without denying the significance of the local dimension. Could one talk about an Islamic sociology and Islamic sciences? Or would such propositions simply deny any universality of thought? Questions related to the sociology of knowledge, and whether it is possible to indigenize social sciences and search for alternative forms of knowledge, will be also discussed. This paper will also highlight the subtle differences between Islamic oppositional ideologies and established Muslim academics who advocate the line of Islamization within the official educational channels, and which are encouraged by the Malaysian government.
