An Evaluation on Understanding of Religion and Society of Native Sociologist Baykan Sezer

Baykan Sezer accepts that sociology is a Eurocentric science, but he criticizes the\rimitation of the European sociology by Turkish sociologists, because the studies carried\rout by European sociologists have Christian-centered tendencies. According to Sezer,\rstudies carried out by imitating the European sociologists will not provide any benefits to\rthe Turkish society, whose population is predominantly Muslim.\rIn our study, the religion, society and methodology of Native Sociologist Baykan Sezer,\rwho brought a unique perspective to Turkish sociology and the religion-society\rrelationship, were discussed and evaluated. For this purpose, the document analysis\rmethod was used and Sezer's studies and other works, especially in the field of sociology of\rreligion, were examined. Later, the studies on Sezer were examined..
