Re: What do you think?

Dear George,

Sorry for being so concise. First of all I wanted to open a debate which in 
my view could be significant in reviewing the way(s) we are accustomed to 
think about the social-logy.
By historiography, I meant the way the formation of history of sociology has 
been narrated.  Sociology relies heavily on the wisdom of vast debates 
between atheists and religious thinkers, free-thinkers versus catholics or 
protestants , and the way history and its progress has been conceived: 
catholics vs protestant and the latter is related to humanist endeavours and 
again one reads that these attempts were the result of 
'translation'-movement from Greek to modern languages,... and there is the 
Italian Renaissance! Just some decades or so before this renaissnace next to 
Italy in Spain one sees a great cultural and scientific movements but the 
impact of these are  not properly, at least in my view, addressed due to 
denominational differences: Islam vs Christianity. It seems there is more to 
the problem than the conventional historiography accounts for.  In my view 
sociology rests on these great pillars and the very foundations of modernity 
are dependent on this conventional historiography. Hope I am making sense!
Best
Seyed
