Abstract
The review is focused on the analysis of Dietrich Jung’s approach to the sociology of Islam. Two fundamental works under Jung’s supervision are discussed, starting with a theoretical model by Jung and his co-authors and looking at its implications for the existing sociological research. The authors analyze the internal homogeneity and consistency of this theoretical model. The main argument of the article is the fact that Jung’s elaborated theoretical model does not necessarily correspond to epistemological and methodological foundations of various studies included in the collective works edited by Jung. This fact is demonstrated, in particular, by analyzing the methodological framework of the articles included in the book “Muslim Subjectivities in Global Modernity”.
