        "summary": "Professor Lili Romli has praised Boni Hargens' book 'Political Science from the Classical Era to the Digital Age' as an essential reference for understanding political dynamics, both conceptually and in practice, particularly in the rapidly evolving digital era. She recommends it not only for students from undergraduate to postgraduate levels but also for political actors inside and outside democratic institutions. The book challenges negative perceptions of politics by drawing on philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to portray it as a virtue, while also exploring its intersections with intelligence and national interests in the digital age.",
        "content": "<p>Professor of Political Science, Lili Romli, assesses Boni Hargens\u2019\nbook \u2018Political Science\u2019, written by the senior political analyst, as\ndeserving to be a reference for comprehending political dynamics, both\nconceptually or theoretically, its application, and its relevance to\npolitics in the rapidly developing digital era.<\/p>\n<p>According to Prof Lili Romli, Boni Hargens\u2019 book, with the full title\n\u2018Political Science from the Classical Era to the Digital Age\u2019, is not\nonly recommended for reading by undergraduate to postgraduate students\nbut is also suitable for political actors, both those within democratic\ninstitutions and outside them.<\/p>\n<p>This was stated by Prof Lili Romli at the launch and book review of\nBoni Hargens\u2019 \u2018Political Science from the Classical Era to the Digital\nAge\u2019 at the Aryaduta Hotel, Jakarta, on Saturday, 11 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>At the launch event, other speakers included BRIN researcher Syafuan\nRozi and political observer Karyono Wibowo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to Boni Hargens on the publication of this Political\nScience book. Reading this book feels like having covered several\ncourses because it comprehensively discusses political science, from its\nhistory, approaches to political science, political systems, to the\ninfluence of technology on political science,\u201d said Prof Lili Romli,\nquoted on Sunday, 12 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Through his book, said Prof Lili Romli, Boni Hargens refutes negative\naccusations against politics, which is generally considered bad, dirty,\nfull of tricks and deception just to seize power. Boni, with various\nreferences from philosophers and political scientists, such as Socrates,\nPlato, and Aristotle to modern and contemporary philosophers, said Prof\nLili Romli, shows that politics is a virtue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Boni Hargens\u2019 book, it is also shown that politics is a clear\nscience, capable of predicting future events, and related to other\nsciences, even all aspects of our lives are politics. Therefore, Boni\nalso discusses interesting history about politics in the digital era and\nits connection to intelligence science. For me, that is something\ncontemporary, how politics in the digital era and how political science\nmarries with intelligence science to secure national interests,\u201d\nexplained Prof Lili Romli.<\/p>",
