Moral Vision and Social Critique: Selected Essays of Syed Hussein Alatas

Moral Vision and Social Critique: Selected Essays of Syed Hussein Alatas
Moral Vision and Social Critique: Selected Essays of Syed Hussein Alatas

Fearless essays for socially minded critical thinkers

This is a rewarding read if you like ideas with backbone. Alatas writes with unusual moral clarity, cutting through colonialism, politics, religion, education, and the role of intellectuals in society without feeling abstract or detached. It feels like spending time with a rigorous public thinker who still speaks directly to today’s social and political anxieties.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
