New Journal OUT NOW!
We are excited to announce the first issue of the journal of the Academy of Social Science, Democratic Modernity!
In this first issue founding members of the Academy of Social Science provide overviews of key ideas and themes that can help us see the necessity and the potential of a Sociology of Freedom.
Long Histories of Democratic Civilization
Building on the work of previous movements, revolutionaries and intellectuals, Abdullah Öcalan theorizes history as the result of the constant flow of two rivers: state civilization, a five-thousand-year unity of systemic domination and exploitation, and democratic civilization, the historical stream of “moral and political society”, the basis for all human sociality.
This research commune aims to deepen our understanding of this dialectical struggle, and to seek a roughly shared vision of the organic historical unity of state civilization, in order to recover the long pasts and envision alternative futures watered by the democratic river.
