Masyarakat Industri, Islam Kita, Hingga Peran Sastra
Pemikiran Fathul H. Panatapraja dalam buku ini tidak sekadar terkait dengan pandangan filosofis atas berbagai persoalan kehidupan duniawi dengan segala kompleksitasnya seperti filsafat, pendidikan, politik, ekonomi, sastra, kebudayaan, dengan nilai-nilai moralitasnya, melainkan membahas pula masalah eskatologi dalam kaitan dengan asal-usul kejadian yang disebut Sangkan Paraning Dumadi.

Call argues that postmodernism's timely influence updates anarchism, making it relevant to the political culture of the new millennium.
