Sufism Becoming a Science of Religion: The Transformation Process of the Tradition of Ummism and Expansion of the Field of Objective Science
Author(s): Ekrem DemirliSubject(s): Theology and Religion, Islam studies
Published by: Balkan Studies Foundation
Keywords: Sufism; Science of Religion; Ummism
Summary/Abstract: Discussions focused on the legitimacy of any science have not been as widespread and continuous in any other religious science as it has in Sufism. The discussions were wi- despread because the problem concerned each particular mention of Sufism as much as Sufism itself; it was continuous because the issue of legitimacy made its presence felt strongly in all periods of Sufism. Just as one who does not address the problem is not a mystic, even today Sufism is the only religious science that can be considered to have been unsuccessful in establishing itself as a “science of religion.”
