SOSIOLOGI NUSANTARA DALAM PERSPEKTIF INTEGRALISTIK (KAJIAN ISLAMISASI MASYARAKAT NUSANTARA)

Nusantara Social Sciences (ISN) is a science that emerged from the Renaissance process inthe West. The victory of rationalism and the paralysis of religious orthodoxy marked thebeginning of the development of the social sciences, especially in European society. Thesocial sciences in general, sociology in particular, were born from the lap of philosophicalpositivism and from the search for knowledge based on objective facts. Social science ingeneral is a science that is based on social phenomena and facts that are accessible to thehuman senses. Inaccessible things are rejected and viewed as invalid science. Islamization isinterpreted as an effort to redefine the values and norms that become the reference for thesocial life of the community based on Islamic teachings, customs, and others. If weunderstand the project of Islamization of society, Islamization of Nusantara Social Sciences,has historical and social reasons. Islam plays an important role in the process of interactionand identity formation among the people of the archipelago, but people who arepredominantly Muslim usually come back to life in the economic, social, educational,scientific and technological fields. The Islamization of society has been going on for a longtime, long before the theorists of the Western social sciences formulated their theories.Western social theories are useful for explaining the structure that was built in thearchipelago society in general as a result of the contact between the traditions of society andIslamic culture resulting from the long process of Islamization. Archipelago social science inan integral perspective is the Indonesian Muslim community which in social life has religiousvalues, as well as ethics and social norms formed from the conceptualization of the Islamiccultural community which is formed based on symbols, symbols, and the state language.
