Abstract :Sociology Alavi is a kind of sociology of religion, of course it should be noted that the sociology of religion and religion sociology is different. Sociology of religion means that it gets its principles from God’s law and religious books and in accordance, it can be statedSchool of sociology and the sociology of religion and axioms are not provable in any school and these are the obvious tenet that we are accept them as a right tenet from some books such a Quran, Gospel or Avesta. Some people thought that sociology of religion does not mean because in sociology the main issue is the only study and they say we can not have islamic physic so sociology of religion is not acceptable. It should be noted that the human form the society and its important for human to notice the structure of society and it recognize the truth and false of component and the relationship between them.

Speeches edit


  • Interviewing of Prof. Tanhaeion Tehran university in 19th of ordibehesht in 1391 with the subject of oriented interpretationof American

Abstract: Oriented interpretation in terms of the wisdom sociology is divided into three categories:

1. oriented interpretation of American

2. oriented interpretation of European

3. oriented interpretation of German

Oriented interpretation of European and German are in the opposite side of American oriented interpretation.Oriented interpretation of European and German are also have differences in terms of the sociology wisdom with each other.Oriented interpretation of European knows the human to authorize to act in order to be compatible with the system. In oriented interpretation of European the relation between the action and relational structure is adaptation objective and cohesion objective. the situation in Europe is due to the government. Of course the important point is although Weber is an German sociologist but his oriented interpretation is European. But although Germany is a European country but this country has a especial oriented interpretation.Germany due to conflict-oriented, kingdom of Tyranny, Severe dictatorship and etc, they thought people are taken off they know Intellectual stratum as the actor.In America, unlike Europe where people were immigrants, people should form cultural and Social organizations. Social and cultural organizations existence is possible only with the action. But in Europe these formations are made before and people should make themselves register with those formations. The main characters of American are Mead, Bloomer, Goffman. The main concept in oriented interpretation is action and the biggest mistake about this phrase is imagining individually at all times. There is difference between continuous and symbolic character Action in thought of Bloomer.
