Abstract

This study aims to build a symbolic agreement about the meaning of radicalization. This objective was determined based on the background of the writing of this article, i.e., the issue of radicalism, which is now widely discussed both on social media and daily talks in the society. Various interpretations of radicalism have created debates in various circles. Furthermore, they have triggered social conflicts spreading to different aspects of life and the division of society into several groups according to their respective interpretations. If people misunderstand radicalism on a moral knowing level, it will affect the form of their moral feeling and moral action in responding to the phenomenon of radicalism in the current era. Therefore, the problems formulated in this article are comprehensively about the meaning of radicalism according to various points of view. There are two benefits to studying this. First, theoretical benefit will enrich scientific knowledge around radicalism. Second, practical benefit is as a scientific resource for academics in assessing phenomena, researching cases, and determining indicators of a person or group exposed to radicalism. This study uses a qualitative approach and library research methods. The data were presented in the form of descriptions and validated using theoretical triangulation. The results of this study show that there was a correlation among the meanings of radicalism obtained based on the different points of view from the researchers examining this issue. This is based on a comprehensive study involving symbolic meaning and synoptic meaning (philosophy, religion, and history).
