Abstract

This article discusses the long-standing philosophical challenge of integrating disposition, free will, and contingency. We place the above three realities into a coherent theoretical framework. Various disciplines have extensively studied the concepts of disposition, free will, and contingency. Nevertheless, their complex interrelationships still need to be more adequately explored. The result is a persistent dichotomy that gives rise to debates about causation, agency, and the reality of modalities. Thus, this article proposes a new framework called triadic relations to explain the mutual dependencies and emergent properties of the interaction of these fundamental ideas. The article uses a systematic synthesis approach of recent developments in dispositional essentialism, compatibilist theories of free will, and the metaphysics of the modal. We aim to show how dispositions provide the ontological foundation for free will and contingent possibilities. After all, free will operation actualizes specific potentials and introduces original novelty. This method offers an exciting resolution to the compatibilist libertarian debate by providing a new perspective on mental causation, moral responsibility, and the nature of contingency. Our findings suggest a dynamic ontology that transcends traditional philosophical categories. The findings redefine metaphysics, philosophy of mind, ethics, and interdisciplinary areas. Triadic relations emerge as a new paradigm for reconceptualizing the structure of reality and human agency to reshape the landscape of philosophical inquiry.

Abstract

Abstract. This article explores Karl Rahner's theological perspective on the intersection of human freedom, habit, and theological virtues. Rahner offers a distinctive idea of human freedom in the context of divine grace and the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. This study examines how theological virtues function as transformative structures that shape human freedom and habit. The method used in this study was a literature study of Karl Rahner's thought. The results of this study showed that true freedom is not the absence of limitations, but rather the ability to respond authentically to the divine call. This call directs humans towards a deeper communion with God and others. Rahner's views highlight the inevitable connection between human freedom, habit, and theological virtues in the context of Christian faith.Abstrak. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi perspektif teologis Karl Rahner mengenai persinggungan antara kebebasan manusia, kebiasaan, dan keutamaan-keutamaan teologis. Rahner menawarkan sebuah gagasan yang khas tentang kebebasan manusia dalam konteks anugerah ilahi dan keutamaan-keutamaan teologis, yaitu iman, pengharapan, dan kasih. Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana keutamaan teologis berfungsi sebagai struktur transformatif yang membentuk kebebasan dan kebiasaan manusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kajian pustaka terhadap pemikiran Karl Rahner. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebebasan sejati bukan sebagai ketiadaan batasan, melainkan sebagai kemampuan untuk merespons secara otentik terhadap panggilan ilahi. Panggilan ini mengarahkan manusia menuju persekutuan yang lebih dalam dengan Tuhan dan sesama. Pandangan Rahner menyoroti keterkaitan yang tidak terelakkan antara kebebasan manusia, kebiasaan, dan keutamaan teologis dalam konteks iman Kristen.

Abstract

The relationship is an essential part of husband and wife. This bond between spouses is the basis of their intimacy. This study investigates the nature of the interrelationship in the institution of marriage. It highlights the concept of belonging as the foundational principle of marriage through a hermeneutical philosophical examination. The key findings of this article state that matrimony is an institutionalization between a man and a woman. The conjugal union is essentially natural and directed by moral virtues. Married partners formalize the activity through sacramental communion. Such integration entails a lifelong commitment to fidelity. Consequently, dissolution of this accord occurs due to the death of one of the spouses or the loss of the qualities that unite the couple. In addition, the sacrament of marriage serves as a representation of the couple’s presence before society. However, biological intimacy is an essential component of marriage. The sacrament of marriage, then, serves to prevent sexual pleasure beyond the binding of marriage. The principles of the nature and sacredness of marriage should guide sexual intimacy in the family. This research suggests that consensual non-monogamy is incompatible with the essence of marriage as it goes against the purpose and unity of the couples. The article emphasizes the importance of interpreting marriage as a divine relationship rooted in mutual belonging, moral excellence, and devotion.

Abstract

Character is important in investigating human nature, morality, and the pursuit of a fulfilling life. Character is a reality that is often interchangeable with the individual, so understanding character is used to understand a person. The modern world has developed Aristotle’s thoughts on character into separate research fields, so revisiting Aristotle’s original ideas can reduce the dichotomy. This research examines Aristotle’s various views on the nature and importance of human character. It reviews the various strands of Aristotle’s thought scattered throughout his writings to explain his distinctive perspective on character as a coherent and interconnected whole. This study uses a reflective systematic method to synthesize Aristotle’s views on character from the ethical, dramatic, and eudaimonic dimensions. The results of this research state that the core of Aristotle’s virtue ethics perspective is that developing virtues over time will maintain enduring character traits. The virtues are applied consistently through practical reasoning while maintaining a balanced approach between emotion and action. This development process involves individual choices and considerations. The Aristotelian framework of character is a continuous and dynamic process. This approach is a counterpoint to the deterministic and situational-based approach to human action. Aristotle identifies the development of moral and intellectual qualities as essential to achieving eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is the highest realization of human potential through reason. This concept embodies rationality as its foundation, thus strengthening the relationship. A virtuous character enables individuals to achieve self-sufficiency (αὐτάρκεια: autarkeia). Self-sufficiency is an important factor for achieving eudaimonia (εὐδαιμονία) as it reduces human dependence on external conditions for their well-being.
