ABSTRACT 

In terms of the framework for organizing social theory provided by Roberto Mangabeira Unger (1979), Rizal's theory of society is compared and contrasted with the theory of Marx and to some extent to the ideas of social theorists like Durkheim, Weber and Parsons.

 The materials reviewed for this project are E. San Juan Jr.'s "Rizal and the Human Condition" (1968), "Rizal for our Time" (1997) and "Dialektika at Materyalismong Pangkasaysayan sa Diskurso ni Jose Rizal" (2004). Evident in the articles is San Juan's effort to trace the dialectical elements in Rizal's way of thinking, leading him to present Rizal's coherent "theory of society". Using his theoretical discussions from these materials, we are able to outline the "theory of society" that he is trying to demonstrate.
