This book presents classical articles influencing the field that appeared in The Insurgent Sociologist , along with current reflections by the original authors. These selections reflect radical sociology's continuing interest in capitalist development, class, race, gender, and power. The introduction contextualizes the role of The Insurgent Sociologist in the development of a radical sociology and its impact on the discipline. The conclusion provides an agenda for how the next version of critical sociology should relate to and strengthen the heterogeneous world of civil society. Never have so many prominent sociologists provided such a rare intellectual treat by being so frank about their own past work, and then suggest how we can do better in the future to provide frameworks for a critical and relevant sociology

This ambitious and sweeping book presents a powerful argument against moral relativism and in favor of the objectivity of a theory of democratic individuality. Unlike much recent work in this field, the book does not simply adumbrate such a view. Rather, it develops the parallels between various versions of scientific and moral realism, and then reinterprets the history and internal logic of democratic theory, maintaining, for example, that the abolition of slavery represents genuine moral progress. The book also recasts the clashes between Marxist and Weberian, radical and liberal sociologies in the light of these moral claims, and sketches the institutions of a radical democracy

Terrorism is an extraordinary crime that is a challenge for the Indonesian people to abolish it. Terrorism usually starts from radical views or understandings by a particular person or group to threaten the government and make anxious Indonesian people. Because terrorism is very detrimental to the nation and state of Indonesia psychologically and materially, it is appropriate for the Indonesian people to fight the spread of understanding that can trigger acts of terrorism. One way is to strengthen the values of Pancasila to all the people of Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is for the Indonesian people to know the bitter history of acts of terrorism that have occurred in Indonesia almost every year. And also so that the Indonesian people can prevent the spread of radical thinking and always uphold the four pillars of Indonesian nationality. The thought that must be owned by the successor of the Indonesian nation is tolerance, this is due to the condition that Indonesia is a country that has many differences in many ways.
