Abstract

‘The Kingdom of God’ reflects a hidden truth that needs to be probed, disclosed and exposed to achieve its true meaning. It portrays significant as well as controversial theme in the Gospel and triggers multi interpretations. This paper investigates how philosophical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur can be applied on the issue of religious truth of the Kingdom of God. The significance of Ricoeur's hermeneutics lies precisely in the process when interpretation is brought 'in front of text' involving the world of interpreters and the subjectivity of the readers, namely the urgency of Kingdom as a project of faith in contemporary world or, phenomenologically, the project that involves our being as being-in-the-world. The truth of the Kingdom of God is examined through the method of Ricoeur's hermeneutic circle following dynamical levels or moments of understanding: pre-critical, phenomenological-critical and existential-post-critical. The primacy of language in Ricoeur's hermeneutics places the power of linguistic re-description; it becomes crucial in correlating the Kingdom of God as text and event. Linguistic re-descriptive power helps articulate the so-called dimensions of impossible demand in biblical hermeneutics. It reflects the inexhaustability and irreducibility of the Kingdom's inspirational power both in linguistics itself and its expressions as an action.

Abstract

Logical positivism and empiricism embody the scientific spirit thatputs science autonomous from culture and society. This can bequestioned from a cultural perspective, which accommodates thevarious contexts of human knowledge. In this perspective, scienceas a system of human knowledge is deeply rooted and colored bythe socio-cultural context.

Abstract

One of the most prominent and haunting cultural phenomenain our times is 'fundamentalism'. Its prominence, complexityand negative impacts render fundamentalism worth revisiting.Beyond its definitions, forms and enigmas, the existence offundamentalism compels us to reflect on some significantaspects of our age. I assume that fundamentalism is not athrowback to a tradition, but that it is in a dialectic relationshipwith modernity. I stress, therefore, the points of convergencebetween fundamentalism and modernity. The overlappingparadigms of fundamentalism and modernity are exploredthrough a socio-cultural and philosophical approach. Throughan elaboration of the function of fundamentalism as a culturalopposition, the paper concludes with a postmodernistapproach toward a new sensibility for 'difference and diversity'.

Abstract

If post-critical moment is applied to the metaphor of the Kingdom of God, that is, the biblical text of the Kingdom, understanding constitutes incorporation of the world-reference and the project of hope. As a result, the central truth-content of the Kingdom of God in Luke 17:20-36, the Kingdom of God is within you, must be seen as provoking a ‘proposed world’, a world of possibilities which must be projected. The texts of the Kingdom reveal a surplus meaning: an eschatological vision, reflecting existential limitation of articulation of the Kingdom as well as a project of the Kingdom of humanity. From the perspective of mimesis theory, how the contemporary readers ‘identify’ themselves with the world of text demonstrates a followability of text. In post-critical moment, the power of the text becomes an actual ‘will’ to project the ‘impossible demand’ as the impact of textual participation with the interpretive mode of engagement-detachment. What prominent in post-critical moment is that a ‘program’ of the Kingdom is placed under the project of hope. In hermeneutic principle, the revealed truth as, part of faith truth, must be interpreted as both ontological and eschatological vision. ‘Vision’ functions as a meta-critical understanding that always destabilizes existing awareness and brings it to a futuristic horizon or eschatological openness.
