Der Autor behandelt nach dem dahinter stehenden Staatsbegriff und mit Blick auf das Verhältnis von Staat und Gesellschaft nacheinander repräsentative Demokratie, Theokratie und die Totalitarismen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Diese sämtlichen, von ihm abgelehnten Staatsformen sieht der Autor durch Wurzeln im christlichen Mittelalter und durch den ihnen gemeinsamen in die Gesellschaft expandierten modernen Staat verbunden. In seiner fundamentalen Systemkritik hält er dem das Bild von einem islamischen politischen System entgegen, das auf der Autonomie der Religionsgemeinschaften - darunter zählt er u.a. auch Atheisten - im weltlichen Bereich aufbaut und auf einer Art direkter Teilhabe des einzelnen ohne Parteienpluralismus. So werde die Gesellschaft (bezeichnet mit dem Koranbegriff der "umma") gestärkt gegen den im nichtislamischen Bereich zum Selbstzweck gewordenen modernen Staat. Eine Staatsreligion soll es nicht geben. Unklar bleiben Mechanismen zur Lösung möglicher Konflikte zwischen den Religions- und Rechtsgemeinschaften und die Frage nach der Umsetzung der (S. 138) postulierten Überlassung von Gesetzgebung, Erziehung, Wirtschaft, Gesundheitswesen und Wissenschaft an eine nicht näher definierte Zivilgesellschaft. Die hier formulierte islamische politische Philosophie und Staatstheorie haben bei dem mit der vorliegenden Übersetzung anvisierten Zielpublikum der muslimisch-bosniakischen Volksgruppe in Bosnien-Herzegowina bis dato kaum Widerhall gefunden, wie das Vorwort bedauernd hervorhebt.

The paper starts from the hypothesis that current religious change may be best approached within the categorial framework not of a sociology of religion, conceived of and practiced as a sociology of religion of individuals and value but a political sociology of religion (Guizzardi) focused upon political exchange aimed at generating legitimacy and, therefore, creating consensus. Two current complementary trends of religious change, described as politization of religion and religionization of politics (Robertson), are interpreted in such a way. Firstly, some aspects of the current politization of religion have been ... described, and, secondly, the crucial aspects of religionization of politics, projected primarily upon the background of transitional processes in former Yugoslavia have been identified and analysed.

First, the author analyses Plessner's interpretation of Husserl's phenomenology. He goes on to outline the cognitive limits of the phenomenological-hermeneutical method, successful in text-analysis, but inadequate in illuminating pertinent historical processes. In his conclusion, the author points to Plessner's uncritical mixing of scientistic and phenomenological interpretations of fascism. (SOI : PM: S. 44)

The author analyses Arendt's attempt at a rehabilitation of political thinking. He describes the influence of Greek and Roman practical philosophy on Arendt as well as her distancing from Martin Heidegger as a non-political thinker. In the end, the author offers an insight into the failure of the Western metaphysics of the political when confronted with the factuality of a specific political life. (SOI : SOEU: S. 65)

According to Luhmann, religion transforms the indefinable/undefined into the definable/defined complexity, thus outlining the problems of the whole society. Due to this function, religion remams bound to the level of the entirety of a social system. Nevertheless, in time, in the course of the functional differentiation of society, different sub-systems have been created for different tasks (economy, science, politics, education, etc.) and religion has been accorded the status of one such system. Besides distinguishing among various subsystems, this process implies the separation of diverse task-areas within the religious system itself. By and by, within the Christian religion, three functionally differentiated spheres have emerged which Luhmann labels as a) the church, i.e. the entirety of spiritual communication in which the function of the system of religion is fulfilled for the whole social system; b) Diaconate (Diakonie), which performs the system's tasks towards other social sub-systems (these tasks, in line with the theory of systems, may be termed services -Leistungen) as well as towards personal systems (in line with the theory of systems they may be termed pastoral - Seelsorge); and c) theology (Theologie) whose role within the religious system may be described as reflexion (Reflexion) i.e. the task of the reflexive contact of one's own identity.
