Abstract

“What is in a name?” William Shakespear wrote in his famous story Romeo and Juliet. Dragged out of its context, the saying seems to show insignificancy of a name. Is a name mere an arbitrary appellation for something or someone without any meaning inside? Before Shakespear, Cicero told us that “Nomen est omen!” Name, accordingly, is sign, augury, prognostication, prediction. If it’s so, a name, therefore, contains something beyond. It signifies something. In this regard I agree with Cicero, bearing in mind that a name “conceals” something else, be it hope, mission, essence or anything else. The Faculty of Philosophy of the Catholic University, St. Thomas – Medan (Philosophical and Theological High School, St. John – Pematangsiantar), picks up ‘Logos’ as the name of its scientific magazine. What is the idea lying behind this choice? To what extend does the name bear its ‘omen’? This simple article tries to deal with the question to account for the name, Logos. This presentation is a descriptive one.

Abstract

To define what human being is one could present various definitions. Aristotle, for instance, defines the human being as animal rationale. One can, however, say that the human being is a hermeneutical being. Since its coming into existence the human being is dealing and will deal with hermeneutical act of interpretation. This act of interpretation is usually called hermeneutics. Generally speaking the hermeneutics is the act of human being in interpreting realities in life. Strictly speaking, however, it deals with interpretation of textual reality. In philosophical domain, the hermeneutics seeks to account for the philosophical ground of the act of interpretation. What is the ground of our intrepretation so that the interpretation may be accepted valid and true?

Abstract

Even though people are not aware of postmodern philosophy or way of thinking, the philosophy, however has penetrated and thrusted every day life and becomes trendy in our common discourse in our time. Its characteristics such as liberal thinking, freedom of expression, criticism on any kind of authority and normative and universal idea – as sharp criticism to modern philosophy and way of thinking – have attractted people in expressing their thoughts through any medium in their lives. One of the area touched by the philosophy is hermeneutics. Many questions arise: In what sense does the postmodernism criticise the modernism? What is the basic presupposition of the philosophy? Within the field of hermeneutics, what is the contribution of the philosophy to hermeneutics but at the same time the danger enveloved inside?
