Abstract

This paper intends to initiate a serious step towards a critical investigation of thediscourse of absolutism. This paper suggests that this discourse finds its mostprofound roots in the dogmatic system of the Ash’arites. Taking for granted thatthis system is not only theological, the thesis argues that it was vulnerably usablefor ideological and political purposes. The analysis particularly focuses on tracingthe deep structure of the Ash’arite system that regulates some specific issues ina hope to touch some of its ideological functions.Tulisan ini bermaksud untuk memulai langkah serius terhadap penyelidikan kritismengenai wacana absolutisme. Makalah ini menunjukkan bahwa wacana inimenemukan akar yang paling mendalam dalam sistem dogmatis dari Asy’ariyah.Mengambil begitu saja bahwa sistem ini tidak hanya teologis, tesis dari paper iniberpendapat bahwa absolutism Asy’ariyah rentan dapat digunakan untuk tujuan-tujuan ideologis dan politis. Analisis ini terutama fokus pada upaya menelusuristruktur dalam sistem Asy’ariyah yang mengatur beberapa isu tertentu denganharapan dapat menyentuh beberapa fungsi ideologinya.

Abstract

There are three major categories upon which all of the world’s civilizations are established, namely, God, Man and World. The differentiation of worldly civilizations and the diversity of systems of knowledge are due to the way of drawing up the relation thereby the three categories are arranged. Some scholars assumed that these categories are communicated and totally correlated each other, in a way that each cannot be realized except in its connectivity to the others. While some others thought that the three categories should be separated and disconnected, in a way that each of the three is realized as an absolute and dominant one while the two others are marginal and dependent ones. Needless to say, while the first perception provokes the values of tolerance and the acceptance of the other, the second one motivates absolutism and the negation of the other. Unfortunately the Ash’arism, not only a dogma but —and more importantly— a stable and dominant way of thinking, is stimulated by the second perception based on an absolutism and the negation of the other. It departs from that historical fact that this paper argues that absolutism, manifested in political, religious and cultural aspects of nowadays Muslims life, can be related to the dominance ofAsh’arism all over the Muslim world.
