Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between Islamic theology and environmental ethics. Based on the development of the discourse on an environmental problem that arises in the public sphere, Islamic theology as the divine discourse is required to participate in overcoming it at the conceptual level starting from the relationship between humans and the environment. The concept of human in Islamic theological discourse is defined as the center of universal consciousness through the concept of the vicegerent of God on earth (khalifatullah fil ard). Such a concept is often misunderstood as the legitimization of the supremacy of human power over other creatures on earth (anthropocentrism). Therefore, the objective of the study is to enrich studies on Islamic Eco-theology, especially related to the concept of khalifa and its relation with responsibility towards nature. To conduct the research, this paper applied an intertextual approach to extract and reveal the meaning of khalifa and its relation with responsibility in classical Muslim works of tafsir, philosophy, theology, Sufism, and theosophy. The result of the discussion shows that the meaning of humans as the vicegerent of God in the world is not the legitimacy of total mastery but a responsibility that must be fulfilled.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the idea of al-Attas' existentialism which is embodied in his conception of wujud and its relationship with worldview. Al-Attas' definition of worldview, the Islamic vision of Wujūd, indicates the significance of wujūd in the worldview building formulated by al-Attas. However, al-Attas's conception of wujūd is overlooked in academic studies, even though this concept is a crucial theme in his philosophical thinking. This study applies descriptive and analytical methods as well as a philosophical approach to analyze al-Attas' works. This paper argues that al-Attas's idea of worldview is built on the principle of existentialism which is inspired by the concept of Waḥdah al-Wujūd Sufism. It states that wujūd is the true reality, while what is called quiddity or essence is just a mode of wujūd. Thus, the structure of reality is Wujūd in its Unity and Diversity which is nothing but a manifestation of al-Ḥaqq.

Abstract

This paper aims to present the relevance of Foucault’s technology of the self to face the future of the post-coronavirus world. The significance of Foucault technology of the self lies in the practice of self-forming where the pandemic era has urged humans to evaluate their subjectivity. It is because the subject is faced with the external challenge of the biopolitics of the state as well as internal challenge of the Subject’s future anxiety. Hence, this study tries to respond to these problems by analyzing Foucault's technology of the self which was inspired by the ancient practice of the care of the self to practice self-examination in order to achieve self-mastery. In compiling this paper, the author applied a qualitative methodology through which descriptive, textual, and contextual analyses are applied to written materials related to the subject matter. By developing self-mastery techniques, Foucault presupposes the individual to be a critical and reflective subject who will actively respond to biopolitics as well as his own subjectivity.

Abstract

The Mu'tazilites were considered to have close relationship with Muslim philosophers and because of this, many thought that the two had share poin of vies. However, this is not always the case. There are philosophical teachings that contradict to concept of Mu'tazilite theology. This gave birth to a theological critique of the Mu'tazilite against philosophy. Therefore, this article attempts to analyze the Mu'tazilah criticism of Ibn Sina's philosophical system focusing on the study of Ibn al-Malahimi's analysis of taklif written in his book intended to criticize philosophy, Tuhfat al-Mutakallimin fi al-Radd 'ala al-Falasifa. There are two reasons for studying the issue of taklif: first, the concept of taklif is the central doctrine of the Mu'tazilah because it relates to important concepts such as rewards and punishments, prophetic purposes and human actions. Therefore, it is important to study the Mu'tazilite criticism leveled at Ibn Sina on the issue of taklif. Second, the discussion about taklif is not found in the 20 points of criticism raised by al-Ghazali in his Tahafut Falasifah and therefore it can provide valuable insight of the theologian's assessment of the philosopher. This paper argues that Ibn al-Malahimi's purpose to present Ibn Sina's thoughts in the realm of taklif is his strategy to expose Ibn Sina's thoughts that are contrary to the Mu'tazilah doctrine. Through the discussion of taklif, Ibn al-Malahimi can uncover several interrelated issues such as the purpose of prophethood, the concept of reward and punishment and most importantly, reveal the deterministic understanding of human action held by Ibn Sina and his followers.
