Unlike the interest group and class politics that, until recently, have been the mainstay of British and American political science, identity politics fairly quickly emerged in the study of Indian politics as a dominant category. In our discussion of centrism, one of the reasons given for the marginality of class was the high salience of identity categories. Adapted from the source document.

Certain assumptions made in survey res wiith US housewife may not be operative with Indians. 6 assumptions which should be taken into account in the planning & administration of res in other areas are discussed, based on observations from a sample survey of 600 Ur Ru persons in Madras State. The assumption: are: (1) most people hold opinions on a broad range of issues & are capable of articulating them (unwarranted); (2) The unit of opinion is the individual (frequently challenged); (3) That for purposes of a sample survey all opinions are equal (frequently challenged); (4) That a clinical or neutral stance on matters of concern to soc sci is possible or legitimate (is not accepted by many Indian soc sci'ts); (5) that private res carried out by bona fide scholars is entitled to respect & cooperation from the general public & public officials (often questioned); & (6) That a climate of committment to & an understanding of professional standards in the soc sci's exists in some measure (affirmed).

Ein christlicher Missionar im mittelalterlichen Tunis und seine Auseinandersetzung mit der islamischen Theologie und Philosophie. Tunis im 13. Jahrhundert nach Christus: Der aus Katalonien stammende Dominikaner Raimundus Martini (gest. nach 1284) hält sich mehr als zehn Jahre in der Stadt auf, um Arabisch zu lernen und sich an der Mission dort lebender Muslime zu beteiligen. Ob er dabei erfolgreich war, wissen wir nicht. Doch nachweisbar ist, dass Raimundus seine neuen Sprachkenntnisse nutzte, um arabische Texte zu Philosophie und Theologie im Original zu studieren, die zuvor nie ins Lateinische übersetzt wurden. Seine Rezeption dieser Ideen und Lehren fand Ausdruck in seinem Hauptwerk »Pugio fidei« (»Der Dolch des Glaubens«). Besonders ungewöhnlich: Bei aller Kritik an der islamischen Philosophie, die Raimundus als problematisch begreift, zeigt er so manche Sympathie für Argumente islamischer Theologen, seiner Konkurrenten. Ulrich Rudolph untersucht die Geschichte dieser interreligiösen Rezeption. Sein Essay beginnt mit einem Blick auf die politische Konstellation am Mittelmeer im späten 13. Jahrhundert, thematisiert den allgemeinen Stand der arabisch-lateinischen Übersetzungen zu dieser Zeit und beleuchtet den Fall des »Pugio fidei«, der auch für den heutigen interreligiösen Diskurs anregend sein kann.
