Social Sciences in Islamic Perspectives: A Bibliography of Contemporary Literature (1975-2000)

Since the last quarter of this century, a serious effort is being made by the Muslim scholars to build-up a social science paradigm based on Islamic value system. As a result, scholars from all over the world, both the critics and proponents, have produced a good numbers of academic works in the varies field of Social Sciences in Islamic perspectives covering the disciplines such as Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Education, History and Law. Their researches provide an intellectual Islamic alternative in thoughts and knowledge and bring some fresh insights into the emerging disciplines now called as "Islamic Social Sciences". The Islamization of social sciences is in fact one of the dominant theme that continues to occupy contemporary Muslim intellectuals. It has also inspired a numbers of Western academics whose critique of modern Muslim intellectual thoughts is now available in a good numbers of monographs, and research papers in various academic journals. This bibliography aims to cover all these writings on the subject of Social Sciences in Islamic perspectives and brings together some three thousands selected entries of contemporary literature in English language only, expanding a period of two and half a decade (1975-2000). Selections of the items have been drawn from a wide range of published and unpublished material : the books, articles, conference proceedings and doctoral theses. Keeping in view the recent Islamic resurgence globally, it is hoped that this bibliography would appeal to the scholars and students of Islamic studies.
