Abstract

Apart from Kuhn and Popper, Lakatos has become an important figure in thefield of Philosophy of Science for his scientific theories, which he calls researchprogrammes. For Lakatos, Popper’s theoretical falsification can be immensely dangerouswhen applied to the already established theories. On the other hand, in contrast to Kuhnwho assumed that a paradigm is by its nature immeasurable, Lakatos maintains that thecompeting scientific discoveries may in fact be compared between one another. To him,the main issues with regard to the logic of discovery cannot be dealt with satisfactorilyunless we do so within the framework of research programmes. The practicalimplementation of this would be that the hard core of this framework cannot be subjectedto modification -let alone- rejection. This hard core must in other words be protectedfrom what he terms falsification. Lakatos also maintains that what can be said as scientificis a series of theory, and not a single theory. This model of research programmes can infact be used in Islamic Studies in order to develop new theoretical principles that mayplay a role of convincing protective-belt on the one hand, and to find new premiseswhose discoveries can be used universally on the other

Abstract

This article tries to analyze the revival of mystical order (tarekat) in urban areas. Experiences reveal that the development of mystical orders in the Muslim world is not free from criticism, either from the insiders or the outsiders. However, mystical orders still exist, and this fact is characterized by the development of different mystical groups in various cities. Political, social and economic factors influence the fluctuation of mystical orders. This article argues that in a number of countries and in Indonesia, the mystical orders have contributed significantly to the socio-religious life of Muslims. The mystical orders become stronger as they are supported by the involvement of middle class group, media publication, and internal strength embedded in the very tradition of mystical orders. The influx of middle class Muslims to the networks of tarekat brings the fresh wind of change since their engagement provides the internal dynamic of tarekat which encounters external influences on the one hand, and the continuing drive to develop on the other.
