“…Mereka tidak dapat terpisahkan dengan konsep kerangka kerja yang melibatkan struktur secara menyeluruh, karena mereka diatur oleh nilai dan norma yang menjadi kode atau sanksi terhadap interaksi satu sama lain (Marzali, 2014). Masyarakat seperti organisme tubuh manusia dengan sekumpulan sel dan cairan yang tersusun dalam suatu jaringan yang terhubung untuk menjaga kontinuitas struktur organisme (McVeigh, 2020). Istilah fungsi juga dijelaskan oleh Radcliffe, adanya pola kehidupan di dalam manusia sebagai tanda dari keberfungsian struktur organisme tubuh manusia (Brown, 1952).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of Kreasso's activities as an effort to maintain traditional arts in the era of globalization. This research is a qualitative research, with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman analysis which consisted of 3 stages: (1) Data Reduction, (2) Data Display, and (3) Conclusion Drawing/ verification. This study uses the Structural-Functional theory proposed by Alfred Reginald Radcliffe Brown. The results of this study indicate that the existence of Kreasso's activities is able to grow students' dignity and concern for the social environment, especially traditional arts. This is evidenced by the participation of students who play an active role in the structural units of Kreasso's activities. Apart from that, it cannot be separated from the existence of activity actors, such as the Surakarta City Education Office as the person in charge of Kreasso activities; the Kreasso committee which generally consists of several divisions with different functions or roles, the teacher acts as a companion to the students; students act as participants with different assignments depending on the policies and authorities of each school. Each of them finds out how it works according to the function or role according to the position and position that cooperates with one another.

“…I have argued elsewhere (McVeigh, 2020) that the primary moment where Comte ties social theory to cognition is his treatment of the organism-environment dyad. Yet this relation, foundational as it is to Comte’s enterprise, is not what he saw as the most fertile ground upon which to build his sociological edifice.…”

This article explores the role of phrenology in the work of Auguste Comte. I begin by reviewing the historical and contemporary significance of this doctrine to show the direct lineage that exists between phrenology and what we now call cognitive neuroscience. I then demonstrate the impact of phrenology on Comte’s sociological theory and make the claim that his paradigm exemplifies what TenHouten called ‘neurosociology.’ Following this, I show how Comte’s social epistemology rejected biological reductionism and considered neurophysiology a subfield of sociology. This results in a somewhat startling assertion: Comte saw sociology as a cognitive science. After outlining Comte’s original vision for sociology as a discipline, I place Comte’s system in critical contact with 21st century neuroscience and suggest fruitful ways to move the neurosociology paradigm forward. In this I demonstrate that Comte’s vision for sociology is worth pursuing today, even while the specifics of his doctrine are not.

“…In what follows, my aim is to show how we can open up different paths into Comte’s writings, paths that may help to reanimate many of his underappreciated insights into the tangle of knowledge and life, science and substance, human and natural history. It is worth noting that in recent years, there has been a gradual but marked revival of ‘Comte studies’, a movement spearheaded by the efforts of such thinkers as Mary Pickering (1993, 2009), Michel Bourdeau (2018), Andrew Wernick (2015, 2017), Robert Scharff (2002), Mike Gane (2006) and Ryan McVeigh (2020). The collective contribution of these scholars offers rare yet eloquent interpretations of Comte and his aspirations for developing a philosophy, history, politics and sociology of science – well before ‘positivism’ became such a bad word.…”

Comte’s posthumanist social science

Auguste Comte’s classical status in sociology and social theory is routinely taken to mean outdated. Coupled with this perception, there has been a pervasive tendency within contemporary discourse to presume a positivism that is largely rationalistic or scientistic and therefore critically and analytically useless. This paper explores how some of Comte’s lesser acknowledged perspectives on science, history, ‘progress’ and what it is to be human may yet compel us to reexamine our ideas about the kind of positivism we think we have inherited and therefore need to renounce. I focus my reading of Comte through the lens of genealogies of thought not normally associated with his work, for instance, science and technology studies (STS) and posthumanist social theory.
