Gerakan Sosial Intelektual Muslim Organik dalam Transformasi Sosial

Abstract

This article attempts to capture Indonesian organic intellectual movement fashioned from the era of HOS Cokroaminoto in colonial era until the existence of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in the present time. The history of Indonesia has witnessed that such movement which had actively promoted social purposes and aspirations. Although, in its progress, organic intellectual movement is always challenged by the regime (policy oriented studies), it always comes with its own academic-emancipatory explanation for social problems. After Reformation Era, the goal of this movement focused on advocating society against global capitalism expressed in—for example—World Trade Organization (WTC) and Multi-National Corporation (MNC). Another finding of this paper is that there are many NGOs in Indonesia based on Islamic values although their activists do not work on the name of Islam. The reason behind this view is because all Muslim activists work on religious normative exercise social, economic, political, cultural, environment problems.
