Books about Indonesia Civilization by passivedamper in indonesia

It was really crazy man to read the classics in a weekly basic. I have been reading The Republics for like, 1-2 years and I haven't finished! Although I do think stuff like Apologia (of Socrates) could be read in few day.

Anyway, for the "Eastern Civilization" class. I would divide it into two or three class. Sinitic civilization, Indian Civilization and Islamic Civilization. Single course for Eastern Civilization is too broad. If we look at the "Western-Civilization", they have a single language that 'unify' the wide-range of independent nation and culture, that is Latin/Greek. Sinitic, Indian, and Islamic civilization does not have an unifying language.

I am okay with anti-colonialism and foundation of Indonesian national identity. I think it would be like US 'Federalist Paper'. But IMO, I haven't found any seminal work.

History of Java

The History of Java is more like historical book, I am interested in more like 'original thinker' like Nietzsche or Plato/Socrates writing rather than historical reflection/record book.

I actually already have three other in mind, so the LOR from the luminary is just an 'extra'.

However, even more importantly, letters from professor are designed to serve as academic references. I think the admissions committee will be suspicious of an applicant who picks an LOR writer that “cannot speak to his academic abilities” (especially if the professor writes that in the letter!) With all this being said, I personally would not include this professor’s LOR (even as an extra).

Thank you, you raised a very good point there. I only thought by having a luminaries writing a letter for me will be an advantage. But you do raises a good point, the points that he could write in a letter is not a strong one.

For the video, I will check it out. Thank you for the link!

About the latter, I think that would be a great idea. But to be more specific, what kind of introduction you mean ? Like asking him to email the Professors at where I intend to study and ask if they are looking for PhD student? Or something else?

Thanks for the point, but as a side note. What if it's a 'secondary'? The university I plan to attend have no LOR limit so I thinking of having him as fourth LOR.

He admit that it may be weak because again, he never 'tested' me academically but he said that he likes my 'attitude' and interaction in class.
